40750 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 159 / Thursday, August 16, 2018 / Notices 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed within five days of the date 

of publication of this notice to parties in 

this proceeding in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

As a result of our Preliminary 

Determination and pursuant to section 

703(d) of the Act, we instructed U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

suspend liquidation of any entries of 

merchandise under consideration from 

India that were entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after October 25, 2017, which is 90 days 

prior to the date of publication in the 

Federal Register of the Preliminary 

Determination. In accordance with 

section 703(d) of the Act, we issued 

instructions to CBP to discontinue the 

suspension of liquidation for CVD 

purposes for subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

on or after May 22, 2018, but to 

continue the suspension of liquidation 

on all entries from January 23, 2018, 

through May 21, 2018. 

If the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (ITC) issues a final 

affirmative injury determination, we 

will issue a countervailing duty order 

and will require a cash deposit of 

estimated countervailing duties for such 

entries of subject merchandise in the 

amounts indicated above. If the ITC 

determines that material injury, or 

threat of material injury, does not exist, 

this proceeding will be terminated, and 

all estimated duties deposited or 

securities posted as a result of the 

suspension of liquidation will be 

refunded or canceled. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 705(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the ITC of our 

determination. In addition, we are 

making available to the ITC all nonprivileged and non-proprietary 

information relating to this 

investigation. We will allow the ITC 

access to all privileged and business 

proprietary information in our files, 

provided the ITC confirms that it will 

not disclose such information, either 

publicly or under an administrative 

protective order (APO), without the 

written consent of the Acting Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

parties such to an APO of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials or, 

alternatively, conversion to judicial 

protective order, is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a violation that 

is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is published 

pursuant to section 705(d) and 777(i) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: August 10, 2018.

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this investigation 

are certain forged stainless steel flanges, 

whether unfinished, semi-finished, or 

finished (certain forged stainless steel 

flanges). Certain forged stainless steel flanges 

are generally manufactured to, but not 

limited to, the material specification of 

ASTM/ASME A/SA182 or comparable 

domestic or foreign specifications. Certain 

forged stainless steel flanges are made in 

various grades such as, but not limited to, 

304, 304L, 316, and 316L (or combinations 

thereof). The term ‘‘stainless steel’’ used in 

this scope refers to an alloy steel containing, 

by actual weight, 1.2 percent or less of carbon 

and 10.5 percent or more of chromium, with 

or without other elements. Unfinished 

stainless steel flanges possess the 

approximate shape of finished stainless steel 

flanges and have not yet been machined to 

final specification after the initial forging or 

like operations. These machining processes 

may include, but are not limited to, boring, 

facing, spot facing, drilling, tapering, 

threading, beveling, heating, or compressing. 

Semi-finished stainless steel flanges are 

unfinished stainless steel flanges that have 

undergone some machining processes. The 

scope includes six general types of flanges. 

They are: (1) Weld neck, generally used in 

butt-weld line connection; (2) threaded, 

generally used for threaded line connections; 

(3) slip-on, generally used to slide over pipe; 

(4) lap joint, generally used with stub-ends/ 

butt-weld line connections; (5) socket weld, 

generally used to fit pipe into a machine 

recession; and (6) blind, generally used to 

seal off a line. The sizes and descriptions of 

the flanges within the scope include all 

pressure classes of ASME B16.5 and range 

from one-half inch to twenty-four inches 

nominal pipe size. Specifically excluded 

from the scope of this investigation are cast 

stainless steel flanges. Cast stainless steel 

flanges generally are manufactured to 

specification ASTM A351. 

The country of origin for certain forged 

stainless steel flanges, whether unfinished, 

semi-finished, or finished is the country 

where the flange was forged. Subject 

merchandise includes stainless steel flanges 

as defined above that have been further 

processed in a third country. The processing 

includes, but is not limited to, boring, facing, 

spot facing, drilling, tapering, threading, 

beveling, heating, or compressing, and/or any 

other processing that would not otherwise 

remove the merchandise from the scope of 

the investigation if performed in the country 

of manufacture of the stainless steel flanges. 

Merchandise subject to the investigation is 

typically imported under headings 

7307.21.1000 and 7307.21.5000 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 

States (HTS). While HTS subheadings and 

ASTM specifications are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope is 

dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 28, 2006, the 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on certain lined 

paper products from India.1 On 

September 1, 2017, Commerce 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain lined 

paper products from India.2 On 

November 13, 2017, pursuant to timely 

requests from interested parties, 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register the notice of initiation of this 

antidumping duty administrative review 

with respect to the following companies 

for the period of review September 1, 

2016, through August 31, 2017: 

Goldenpalm Manufacturers PVT 

Limited (Goldenpalm), Kokuyo Riddhi 

Paper Products Pvt. Ltd. (Kokuyo), 

Lodha Offset Limited (Lodha), Lotus 

Global Private Limited (Lotus Global), 

Magic International Pvt. Ltd. (Magic 

International), Marisa International, 

Navneet Education Ltd. (Navneet), 

Pioneer Stationery Pvt. Ltd. (Pioneer), 

PP Bafna Ventures Private Limited (PP 

Bafna), SAB International, SGM Paper 

Products, and Super Impex.3 On 

December 18, 2017, Goldenpalm timely 

withdrew its request for review.4 On 

January 25 and 26, 2018, the 

Association of American School Paper 

Suppliers and its individual members 

(AASPS or the petitioners) timely 

withdrew their request for review of 

SAB International and Super Impex, 

respectively.5 On January 29, 2018, SAB 

International and Super Impex also 

timely withdrew their respective 

requests for review.6 On February 5, and 

February 9, 2018, Lotus Global and PP 

Bafna timely withdrew their respective 

requests for review.7 No other party 

requested an administrative review of 

these particular companies. 

Partial Rescission of the 2016–2017 

Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the party that requested a review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. All of 

the aforementioned withdrawal requests 

were timely submitted and no other 

interested party requested an 

administrative review of these particular 

companies. Therefore, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), and 

consistent with our practice,8 we are 

rescinding this review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain lined 

paper products from India, in part, with 

respect to Goldenpalm, Super Impex, 

SAB International, Lotus Global, and PP 

Bafna. The administrative review will 

continue with respect to Kokuyo, 

Lodha, Magic International, Marisa 

International, Navneet, Pioneer, and 

SGM Paper Products. 

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. For the companies for which 

this review is rescinded, Goldenpalm, 

Super Impex, SAB International, Lotus 

Global, and PP Bafna, antidumping 

duties shall be assessed on their entries 

of subject merchandise at rates equal to 

the cash deposit of estimated 

antidumping duties required at the time 

of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, 

for consumption, during the period 

September 1, 2016, through August 31, 

2017, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). 

Commerce intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions 

directly to CBP 15 days after publication 

of this notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this review 

period. Failure to comply with this 

requirement could result in Commerce’ 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APOs) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under an APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return/destruction of 

APO materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a violation 

which is subject to sanction. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: August 10, 2018.
