482–1698 or (202) 482–3330,

respectively.

Background

March 1, 1999, the Department

initiated, and the Commission

instituted, sunset reviews (64 FR 9970

and 64 FR 10017, respectively) of the

antidumping and countervailing duty

orders on industrial phosphoric acid

from Belgium and Israel, pursuant to

section 751(c) of the Act. As a result of

the reviews, the Department found that

revocation of the antidumping duty

order would likely lead to continuation

or recurrence of dumping and notified

the Commission of the magnitude of the

margins likely to prevail were the orders

to be revoked. 1 In addition, the

Department determined that revocation

of the countervailing duty order would

likely lead to continuation or recurrence

of countervailable subsidies and

notified the Commission of the net

countervailable subsidies likely to

prevail were the order revoked. 2

On May 22, 2000, the Commission

determined, pursuant to section 751(c)

of the Act, that revocation of the

antidumping and countervailing duty

orders on industrial phosphoric acid

from Belgium and Israel would not

likely lead to continuation or recurrence

of material injury to an industry in the

United States within a reasonably

foreseeable time. (See USITC

Publication 3302, Investigations Nos.

701–TA–286 (Review) and 731–TA–365

(Review) (May 2000) and Industrial

Phosphoric Acid from Israel and

Belgium, 65 FR 35395 (June 2, 2000).)

Scope of the Orders

The merchandise subject to this

antidumping duty order is industrial

phosphoric acid (‘‘IPA’’) from Belgium

and Israel. IPA is currently classifiable

under item number 2809.20.00 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’).

Although the HTSUS subheadings are

provided for convenience and customs

purposes, the written description

remains dispositive.

Determination

As a result of the determination by the

Commission that revocation of these

antidumping and countervailing duty

orders is not likely to lead to

continuation or recurrence of material

injury to an industry in the United

States, the Department, pursuant to

section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR

351.222(i)(1), is revoking the

antidumping and countervailing duty

orders on industrial phosphoric acid

from Belgium and Israel. Pursuant to

section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act and

19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(ii), this revocation

is effective on January 1, 2000.

The Department will instruct the U.S.

Customs Service to discontinue the

suspension of liquidation and collection

of cash deposits rate and to refund with

interest any cash deposits on entries of

the subject merchandise entered or

withdrawn from warehouse on or after

January 1, 2000 (the effective date). The

Department will complete any pending

administrative reviews of these orders

and will conduct administrative reviews

of subject merchandise entered prior to

the effective date of revocation in

response to appropriately filed requests

for review.

Certain Welded Carbon Steel Pipe and

Tube From Turkey: Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of

antidumping duty administrative

review.

SUMMARY: On February 8, 2000, the

Department of Commerce published the

preliminary results of administrative

review of the antidumping duty order

on certain welded carbon steel pipe and

tube from Turkey. This review covers

one producer/exporter, the Borusan

Group, during the period May 1, 1998,

through April 30, 1999.

Based on our analysis of comments

received, we have made changes in the

margin calculations. Although the exact

weighted-average dumping margin in

the final results has changed, it remains

de minimis as in the preliminary results.

See the section entitled ‘‘Final Results

of the Review.’’

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 13, 2000.

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act), are references to the

provisions effective January 1, 1995, the

effective date of the amendments made

to the Act by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act (URAA). In addition,

unless otherwise indicated, all citations

to the Department of Commerce’s (the

Department’s) regulations are to 19 CFR

part 351 (April 1999).

Background

On February 8, 2000, the Department

published in the Federal Register the

preliminary results of administrative

review of the antidumping duty order

on certain welded carbon steel pipe and

tube from Turkey. Notice of Preliminary

Results of Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review: Certain Welded

Carbon Steel Pipe and Tube From

Turkey, 65 FR 6159 (Preliminary

Results). We invited parties to comment

on the Preliminary Results. The Borusan

Group (Borusan), the sole respondent in

this review, submitted a case brief on

March 9, 2000. No other party filed a

case brief or rebuttal brief. The

Department has conducted this

administrative review in accordance

with section 751 of the Act.

Scope of the Review

The products covered by this review

include circular welded non-alloy steel

pipes and tubes, of circular crosssection, not more than 406.4 millimeters

(16 inches) in outside diameter,

regardless of wall thickness, surface

finish (black, galvanized, or painted), or

end finish (plain end, beveled end,

threaded and coupled). Those pipes and

tubes are generally known as standard

pipe, though they may also be called

structural or mechanical tubing in

certain applications.

Standard pipes and tubes are

intended for the low pressure

conveyance of water, steam, natural gas,

air, and other liquids and gases in

plumbing and heating systems, air

conditioner units, automatic sprinkler

systems, and other related uses.

Standard pipe may also be used for light

load-bearing and mechanical

applications, such as for fence tubing,

and for protection of electrical wiring,

such as conduit shells.

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 13, 2000 / Notices 37117

The scope is not limited to standard

pipe and fence tubing, or those types of

mechanical and structural pipe that are

used in standard pipe application. All

carbon steel pipes and tubes within the

physical description outlined above are

included in the scope of this review,

except for line pipe, oil country tubular

goods, boiler tubing, cold-drawn or

cold-rolled mechanical tubing, pipe and

tube hollows for redraws, finished

scaffolding, and finished rigid conduit.

Imports of these products are

currently classifiable under the

following Harmonized Tariff Schedule

of the United States (HTSUS)

subheadings: 7306.30.10.00,

7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32,

7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55,

7306.30.50.85, and 7306.30.50.90.

Although the HTSUS subheadings are

provided for convenience and customs

purposes, our written description of the

scope of this proceeding is dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

Borusan made only two comments

regarding the Preliminary Results. As

stated above no other party commented

on the decision. In its first comment,

Borusan points out that the wrong

exchange rates were used in the

preliminary results margin calculation.

We discuss this below in the ‘‘Changes

Since the Preliminary Results’’ section.

In its second comment, Borusan asked

that the Department indicate in the final

results and the subsequent cash deposit

instructions issued to Customs that two

pipe producers, Mannesmann Boru and

Kartal Boru, are part of the Borusan

Group. The Department notes that these

affiliations are well established by the

record of the review and have never

been disputed by the Department or any

interested party. We will ensure that

Customs is notified accordingly in the

cash deposit instructions. Because these

issues do not require extensive

discussion, we have not issued a

separate decision memorandum to

accompany these final results of the

review.

Sales Below Cost in the Home Market

The Department disregarded

Borusan’s home-market below-cost sales

which failed the cost test in these final

results of review.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

In its case brief, Borusan pointed out

a clerical error resulting in the use of the

wrong set of Turkish lira exchange rates

in the margin calculation for the

preliminary results. We agree with

Borusan. For these final results, we have

applied the exchange rates which we

had stated we would use in the

preliminary results.

Final Results of Review

As a result of our correction of the

clerical error, we determine a final

weighted-average margin of 0.38 percent

for Borusan for the period May 1, 1998,

through April 30, 1999.

The Customs Service will assess

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. The Department will issue

appraisement instructions directly to

the Customs Service. We have

calculated an exporter/customerspecific assessment value for subject

merchandise based on the ratio of the

total amount of antidumping duties

calculated for the examined sales to the

total quantity sold.

Cash-Deposit Requirements

The following deposit requirement

shall be effective upon publication of

this notice of final results of review for

all shipments of certain welded carbon

steel pipe and tube from Turkey,

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after the

publication date, as provided for by

section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash

deposit rate for the Borusan Group is

zero based on a weighted-average

margin rate for Borusan of 0.38 percent,

which is de minimis within the

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c); (2) for

previously reviewed or investigated

companies not listed above, the cash

deposit rate will continue to be the

company-specific rate published for the

most recent period; (3) if the exporter is

not a firm covered in this review, a prior

review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate

will be the rate established for the most

recent period for the manufacturer of

the merchandise; and (4) if neither the

exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm

covered in this or any previous review

conducted by the Department, the cash

deposit rate will be 14.74 percent, the

‘‘all others’’ rate established in the LTFV

investigation.

The deposit requirements shall

remain in effect until publication of the

final results of the next administrative

review.

This notice serves as a final reminder

to importers of their responsibility

under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a

certificate regarding the reimbursement

of antidumping duties prior to

liquidation of the relevant entries

during this review period. Failure to

comply with this requirement could

result in the Secretary’s presumption

that reimbursement of antidumping

duties occurred and the subsequent

assessment of double antidumping

duties.

This notice also serves as a reminder

to parties subject to administrative

protective order (APO) of their

responsibility concerning the

disposition of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely

notification of return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and the terms of an APO is a

sanctionable violation.

We are issuing and publishing this

determination in accordance with

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the

Act.

Dated: June 7, 2000.
