Background 

Each year during the anniversary 

month of the publication of an 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspension of 

investigation, an interested party, as 

defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

may request, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213 of the Department of 

Commerce’s (‘‘the Department’’) 

regulations, that the Department 

conduct an administrative review of that 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event the Department limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, the 

Department intends to select 

respondents based on U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S. 

imports during the period of review 

(‘‘POR’’). We intend to release the CBP 

data under Administrative Protective 

Order (‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an 

APO within five days of publication of 

the initiation notice and to make our 

decision regarding respondent selection 

within 20 days of publication of the 

initiation Federal Register notice. 

Therefore, we encourage all parties 

interested in commenting on respondent 

selection to submit their APO 

applications on the date of publication 

of the initiation notice, or as soon 

thereafter as possible. The Department 

invites comments regarding the CBP 

data and respondent selection within 10 

calendar days of publication of the 

initiation Federal Register notice. 

Opportunity To Request A Review: 

Not later than the last day of March 

2010 1, interested parties may request

Suspension Agreements 

None. 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), an interested party as 

defined by section 771(9) of the Act may 

request in writing that the Secretary 

conduct an administrative review. For 

both antidumping and countervailing 

duty reviews, the interested party must 

specify the individual producers or 

exporters covered by an antidumping 

finding or an antidumping or 

countervailing duty order or suspension 

agreement for which it is requesting a 

review. In addition, a domestic 

interested party or an interested party 

described in section 771(9)(B) of the Act 

must state why it desires the Secretary 

to review those particular producers or 

exporters.2 If the interested party 

intends for the Secretary to review sales 

of merchandise by an exporter (or a 

producer if that producer also exports 

merchandise from other suppliers) 

which were produced in more than one 

country of origin and each country of 

origin is subject to a separate order, then 

the interested party must state 

specifically, on an order-by-order basis, 

which exporter(s) the request is 

intended to cover. 

Please note that, for any party the 

Department was unable to locate in 

prior segments, the Department will not 

accept a request for an administrative

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 39 / Monday, March 1, 2010 / Notices 9163 

review of that party absent new 

information as to the party’s location. 

Moreover, if the interested party who 

files a request for review is unable to 

locate the producer or exporter for 

which it requested the review, the 

interested party must provide an 

explanation of the attempts it made to 

locate the producer or exporter at the 

same time it files its request for review, 

in order for the Secretary to determine 

if the interested party’s attempts were 

reasonable, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.303(f)(3)(ii). 

As explained in Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), the Department 

has clarified its practice with respect to 

the collection of final antidumping 

duties on imports of merchandise where 

intermediate firms are involved. The 

public should be aware of this 

clarification in determining whether to 

request an administrative review of 

merchandise subject to antidumping 

findings and orders. See also the Import 

Administration Web site at http:// 

ia.ita.doc.gov. 

Six copies of the request should be 

submitted to the Assistant Secretary for 

Import Administration, International 

Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20230. The Department 

also asks parties to serve a copy of their 

requests to the Office of Antidumping/ 

Countervailing Operations, Attention: 

Sheila Forbes, in Room 3065 of the main 

Commerce Building. Further, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(l)(i), 

a copy of each request must be served 

on every party on the Department’s 

service list. 

The Department will publish in the 

Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation 

of Administrative Review of 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation’’ for requests received by 

the last day of March 2010. If the 

Department does not receive, by the last 

day of March 2010, a request for review 

of entries covered by an order, finding, 

or suspended investigation listed in this 

notice and for the period identified 

above, the Department will instruct CBP 

to assess antidumping or countervailing 

duties on those entries at a rate equal to 

the cash deposit of (or bond for) 

estimated antidumping or 

countervailing duties required on those 

entries at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption and to continue to collect 

the cash deposit previously ordered. 

For the first administrative review of 

any order, there will be no assessment 

of antidumping or countervailing duties 

on entries of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption during the relevant 

provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period, of 

the order, if such a gap period is 

applicable to the POR. 

This notice is not required by statute 

but is published as a service to the 

international trading community.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Case History 

The following events have occurred 

since the publication of the Department 

of Commerce’s (‘‘Department’’) notice of 

initiation in the Federal Register. See 

Certain Seamless Carbon and Alloy 

Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe 

from the People’s Republic of China: 

Initiation of Countervailing Duty 

Investigation, 74 FR 52945 (October 15, 

2009) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’), and the 

accompanying Initiation Checklist. 

On November 4, 2009, the Department 

selected two Chinese producers/ 

exporters of certain seamless carbon and 

alloy steel standard, line, and pressure 

pipe (‘‘seamless pipe’’) as mandatory 

respondents: (1) Hengyang Steel Tube 

Group Int’l Trading Inc., Hengyang 

Valin Steel Tube Co., Ltd., Hengyang 

Valin MPM Tube Co., Ltd., and their 

affiliate, Xigang Seamless Steel Tube 

Co., Ltd. (collectively, ‘‘Hengyang’’); and 

(2) Tianjin Pipe (Group) Corporation 

(‘‘TPCO’’). See Memorandum to Edward 

Yang, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary 

for Antidumping and Countervailing 

Duty Operations, ‘‘Respondent Selection 

Memo’’ (November 4, 2009). This 

memorandum is on file in the 

Department’s Central Records Unit 

(‘‘CRU’’) in Room 1117 of the main 

Department building. 

On November 6, 2009, the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) 

published its affirmative preliminary 

determination that there is a reasonable 

indication that an industry in the 

United States is threatened with 

material injury by reason of allegedly 

subsidized imports of seamless pipe 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(‘‘PRC’’). See Certain Seamless Carbon 

and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and 

Pressure Pipe From China, 74 FR 57521 

(November 6, 2009). 

On November 9, 2009, we issued a 

questionnaire to the Government of the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘GOC’’), 

Hengyang, and TPCO. On December 3, 

2009, the Department published a 

postponement of the deadline for the 

preliminary determination in this 

investigation until February 16, 2010. 

See Certain Seamless Carbon and Alloy 

Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe 

from the People’s Republic of China: 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determination in the Countervailing 

Duty Investigation, 74 FR 63391 

(December 3, 2009). 

In December 2009 and January 2010, 

we received responses to our 

questionnaire from the GOC, Hengyang, 

and TPCO. See the GOC’s Original 

Questionnaire Response (January 7, 

2010) (‘‘GQR’’), Hengyang’s Original 

Questionnaire Response (January 5, 

2010) (‘‘HQR’’), and TPCO’s Original 

Questionnaire Response (December 31, 

2009) (‘‘TQR’’). We sent supplemental 

questionnaires to TPCO on January 27, 

2010, and February 4, 2010. We 

received responses to these
