Statutory Time Limits 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) to issue the preliminary 

results of an administrative review 

within 245 days after the last day of the 

anniversary month of an order for which 

a review is requested and a final 

determination within 120 days after the 

date on which the preliminary results 

are published. If it is not practicable to 

complete the review within the time 

period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 

allows the Department to extend these 

deadlines to a maximum of 365 days 

and 180 days, respectively. 

Background 

On August 30, 2006, the Department 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation of administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on individually quick frozen red 

raspberries from Chile, covering the 

period July 1, 2005, through June 30, 

2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Requests for Revocation in 

Part, 71 FR 51573 (August 30, 2006). 

The preliminary results for this 

administrative review are currently due 

no later than April 2, 2007. 

Extension of Time Limits for 

Preliminary Results 

The Department requires additional 

time to review, analyze, and verify the 

sales and cost information submitted by 

the parties in this administrative review. 

Moreover, the Department requires 

additional time to issue supplemental 

questionnaires and fully analyze the 

responses. Thus, it is not practicable to 

complete this review within the original 

time limit (i.e., April 2, 2007). 

Therefore, the Department is extending 

the time limit for completion of the 

preliminary results to not later than July 

31, 2007, in accordance with section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: March 05, 2007.

Pressure Pipe from Argentina: Notice 

of Rescission of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On September 29, 2006, the 

U.S. Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on small 

diameter seamless carbon and alloy 

steel standard, line and pressure pipe 

(‘‘seamless line and pressure pipe’’) 

from Argentina. The review covers one 

manufacturer/exporter, Siderca S.A.I.C. 

(‘‘Siderca’’). The period of review 

(‘‘POR’’) is August 1, 2005, through July 

31, 2006. Following the receipt of a 

certification of no shipments by Siderca, 

we notified the domestic interested 

party of the Department’s intent to 

rescind this review and provided an 

opportunity to comment on the 

rescission. We received no comments. 

Therefore, we are rescinding this 

administrative review. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 9, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 1, 2006, the Department 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on seamless 

line and pressure pipe from Argentina 

for the period August 1, 2005, through 

July 31, 2006. See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

to Request Administrative Review, 71 

FR 43441 (August 1, 2006). On August 

31, 2006, United States Steel 

Corporation (‘‘U.S. Steel’’), a domestic 

producer of the subject merchandise, 

made a timely request that the 

Department conduct an administrative 

review of Siderca. On September 29, 

2006, in accordance with section 751(a) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(‘‘the Act’’), the Department published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

initiation of this antidumping duty 

administrative review. See Notice of 

Initiation of Antidumping Duty and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 

2006). On October 4, 2006, the 

Department issued its antidumping duty 

questionnaire to Siderca. On October 18, 

2006, Siderca submitted a letter to the 

Department, certifying that the company 

made no shipments or entries for 

consumption in the United States of the 

subject merchandise during the POR. 

Siderca also certified that the company’s 

U.S. affiliate, Tenaris Global Services 

U.S.A. Corporation, also did not sell, 

enter, or import subject merchandise for 

consumption into the United States 

during the POR. 

Scope of the Order 

The antidumping duty order on 

imports from Argentina covers small 

diameter seamless carbon and alloy 

standard, line, and pressure pipes 

(‘‘seamless pipes’’) produced to the 

American Standard for Testing and 

Materials (‘‘ASTM’’) standards A–335, 

A–106, A–53, and American Petroleum 

Institute (‘‘API’’) standard API 5L 

specifications and meeting the physical 

parameters described below, regardless 

of application. The scope of this order 

also includes all products used in 

standard, line, or pressure pipe 

applications and meeting the physical 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
10708 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 46 / Friday, March 9, 2007 / Notices 

parameters described below, regardless 

of specification. For purposes of this 

order, seamless pipes are seamless 

carbon and alloy (other than stainless) 

steel pipes, of circular cross-section, not 

more than 114.3 mm (4.5 inches) in 

outside diameter, regardless of wall 

thickness, manufacturing process (hot–

finished or cold–drawn), end finish 

(plain end, beveled end, upset end, 

threaded, or threaded and coupled), or 

surface finish. These pipes are 

commonly known as standard pipe, line 

pipe, or pressure pipe, depending upon 

the application. They may also be used 

in structural applications. Pipes 

produced in non–standard wall 

thicknesses are commonly referred to as 

tubes. The seamless pipes subject to this 

order are currently classifiable under 

subheadings 7304.10.10.20, 

7304.10.50.20, 7304.31.60.50, 

7304.39.00.16, 7304.39.00.20, 

7304.39.00.24, 7304.39.00.28, 

7304.39.00.32, 7304.51.50.05, 

7304.51.50.60, 7304.59.60.00, 

7304.59.80.10, 7304.59.80.15, 

7304.59.80.20, and 7304.59.80.25 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). 

Specifications, Characteristics and Uses 

The following information further 

defines the scope of this order, which 

covers pipes meeting the physical 

parameters described above. 

Seamless pressure pipes are intended 

for the conveyance of water, steam, 

petrochemicals, chemicals, oil products, 

natural gas and other liquids and gasses 

in industrial piping systems. They may 

carry these substances at elevated 

pressures and temperatures and may be 

subject to the application of external 

heat. Seamless carbon steel pressure 

pipe meeting the ASTM standard A–106 

may be used in temperatures of up to 

1000 degrees Fahrenheit, at various 

American Society of Mechanical 

Engineers (‘‘ASME’’) code stress levels. 

Alloy pipes made to ASTM standard A–

335 must be used if temperatures and 

stress levels exceed those allowed for 

A–106 and the ASME codes. Seamless 

pressure pipes sold in the United States 

are commonly produced to the ASTM 

A–106 standard. 

Seamless standard pipes are most 

commonly produced to the ASTM A–53 

specification and generally are not 

intended for high temperature service. 

They are intended for the low 

temperature and pressure conveyance of 

water, steam, natural gas, air and other 

liquids and gasses in plumbing and 

heating systems, air conditioning units, 

automatic sprinkler systems, and other 

related uses. Standard pipes (depending 

on type and code) may carry liquids at 

elevated temperatures but must not 

exceed relevant ASME code 

requirements. Seamless line pipes are 

intended for the conveyance of oil and 

natural gas or other fluids in pipelines. 

Seamless line pipes are produced to the 

API 5L specification. Seamless pipes are 

commonly produced and certified to 

meet ASTM A–106, ASTM A–53 and 

API 5L specifications. Such triple 

certification of pipes is common 

because all pipes meeting the stringent 

A–106 specification necessarily meet 

the API 5L and ASTM A–53 

specifications. Pipes meeting the API 5L 

specification necessarily meet the 

ASTM A–53 specification. However, 

pipes meeting the A–53 or API 5L 

specifications do not necessarily meet 

the A–106 specification. To avoid 

maintaining separate production runs 

and separate inventories, manufacturers 

triple- certify the pipes. Since 

distributors sell the vast majority of this 

product, they can thereby maintain a 

single inventory to service all 

customers. The primary application of 

ASTM A–106 pressure pipes and triple 

certified pipes is in pressure piping 

systems by refineries, petrochemical 

plants and chemical plants. Other 

applications are in power generation 

plants (electrical–fossil fuel or nuclear), 

and in some oil field uses (on shore and 

offshore), such as for separator lines, 

gathering lines and metering runs. A 

minor application of this product is for 

use as oil and gas distribution lines for 

commercial applications. These 

applications constitute the majority of 

the market for the subject seamless 

pipes. However, A–106 pipes may be 

used in some boiler applications. 

The scope of this order includes all 

seamless pipe meeting the physical 

parameters described above and 

produced to one of the specifications 

listed above, regardless of application, 

and whether or not also certified to a 

non–covered specification. Standard, 

line and pressure applications and the 

above–listed specifications are defining 

characteristics of the scope of this order. 

Therefore, seamless pipes meeting the 

physical description above, but not 

produced to the A–335, A–106, A–53, or 

API 5L standards shall be covered if 

used in a standard, line or pressure 

application. For example, there are 

certain other ASTM specifications of 

pipe that, because of overlapping 

characteristics, could potentially be 

used in A–106 applications. These 

specifications generally include A–162, 

A–192, A–210, A–333, and A–524. 

When such pipes are used in a standard, 

line or pressure pipe application, such 

products are covered by the scope of 

this order. 

Specifically excluded from the scope 

of this order are boiler tubing and 

mechanical tubing, if such products are 

not produced to A–335, A–106, A–53 or 

API 5L specifications and are not used 

in standard, line or pressure 

applications. In addition, finished and 

unfinished OCTG are excluded from 

this order, if covered by the scope of 

another antidumping duty order from 

the same country. If not covered by such 

an OCTG order, finished and unfinished 

OCTG are included in this order when 

used in standard, line or pressure 

applications. Finally, also excluded 

from this order are redraw hollows for 

cold–drawing when used in the 

production of cold–drawn pipe or tube. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, our written description of the 

scope of this order is dispositive. 

Rescission of the Administrative 

Review 

As noted above, on October 18, 2006, 

Siderca submitted a letter to the 

Department indicating that it did not 

make any shipments or entries of 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR. In response to 

the Department’s query to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP), CBP 

confirmed that a small quantity of 

subject merchandise was entered for 

consumption into the United States 

during the POR from a third country. On 

February 8, 2007, the Department 

placed on the record of this review 

copies of the entry documents in 

question. On the basis of these 

documents, the Department concluded 

that Siderca could not have known that 

the merchandise exported to a third 

country would be re–exported to the 

United States. On February 20, 2007, the 

Department notified counsel for U.S. 

Steel of its intent to rescind this 

administrative review and requested 

comments on the intended rescission. 

Counsel notified the Department on the 

following day that they would not 

comment and had no objection to 

rescission. See Memorandum to the File 

from Helen M. Kramer, Case Analyst, 

dated February 22, 2007. 

Based upon Siderca’s certification and 

the evidence on the record, we are 

satisfied that Siderca had no shipments 

of subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR. Pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may 

rescind an administrative review, in 

whole or with respect to a particular 

exporter or producer, if the Secretary 

concludes that, during the period 

covered by the review, there were no 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 46 / Friday, March 9, 2007 / Notices 10709 

entries, exports, or sales of the subject 

merchandise. Therefore, the Department 

is rescinding this review in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). 

Although Siderca did not have any 

sales or exports of subject merchandise 

to the United States during the POR, its 

subject merchandise entered the United 

States during the POR under its 

antidumping case number, without its 

knowledge, by way of intermediaries. 

The Department will instruct CBP 15 

days after the publication of this notice 

to liquidate such entries at the ‘‘All 

Others’’ rate in effect on the date of the 

entry. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with section 

751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: March 5, 2007.

482–3534, respectively. 

Background 

On July 24, 1996, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) 

published a countervailing duty order 

on certain pasta (‘‘pasta’’ or ‘‘subject 

merchandise’’) from Italy. See Notice of 

Countervailing Duty Order and 

Amended Final Affirmative 

Countervailing Duty Determination: 

Certain Pasta From Italy, 61 FR 38544 

(July 24, 1996). On July 3, 2006, the 

Department published a notice of 

‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative 

Review’’ of this countervailing duty 

order for calendar year 2005, the period 

of review (‘‘POR’’). See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

to Request Administrative Review, 71 

FR 37890 (July 3, 2006). In accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we 

published a notice of initiation of the 

review on August 30, 2006 for the 2005 

POR. See Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Requests for Revocation in 

Part, 70 FR 51573 (August 30, 2006). 

The preliminary results for this review 

are currently due no later than April 2, 

2007. 

Extension of Time Limits for 

Preliminary Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to issue the 

preliminary results of an administrative 

review within 245 days after the last day 

of the anniversary month of an order for 

which a review is requested and the 

final results of review within 120 days 

after the date on which the preliminary 

results are published. If it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within the time period, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 

Department to extend these deadlines to 

a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, 

respectively. 

We are currently analyzing 

supplemental information provided by 

the respondents and the Government of 

Italy in this review. Because the 

Department requires additional time to 

review, analyze, and issue additional 

supplemental questionnaires, it is not 

practicable to complete this review 

within the originally anticipated time 

limit (i.e., by April 2, 2007). Therefore, 

the Department is extending the time 

limit for completion of the preliminary 

results to not later than July 31, 2007, 

in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 

of the Act. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
