SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 1, 2011, the Department 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on carbon and 

alloy seamless standard, line, and 

pressure pipe (over 41⁄2 inches) from 

Japan for the period June 1, 2010, 

through May 31, 2011. See Antidumping 

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, 

or Suspended Investigation; 

Opportunity To Request Administrative 

Review, 76 FR 31586 (June 1, 2011). On 

June 30, 2011, 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 JFE, Nippon, NKK, and SMI. 

On July 28, 2011, 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 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, Requests for Revocations in 

Part and Deferral of Administrative 

Reviews, 76 FR 45227 (July 28, 2011). 

On August 4, 2011, Nippon submitted 

a letter to the Department certifying that 

it made no shipments or entries for 

consumption in the United States of 

subject merchandise during the period 

of review (‘‘POR’’). On August 31, 2011, 

the Department issued its antidumping 

duty questionnaire to JFE, NKK, and 

SMI. On September 1, 2011, September 

9, 2011 and September 19, 2011, SMI, 

NKK, and JFE, respectively, submitted 

letters to the Department certifying that 

each company made no shipments or 

entries for consumption in the United 

States of subject merchandise during the 

POR. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

large diameter seamless carbon and 

alloy (other than stainless) steel 

standard, line, and pressure pipes 

produced, or equivalent, to the 

American Society for Testing and 

Materials (‘‘ASTM’’) A–53, ASTM A– 

106, ASTM A–333, ASTM A–334, 

ASTM A–589, ASTM A–795, and the 

American Petroleum Institute (‘‘API’’) 

5L specifications and meeting the 

physical parameters described below, 

regardless of application. The scope of 

the order also includes all other 

products used in standard, line, or 

pressure pipe applications and meeting 

the physical parameters described 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
13080 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 43 / Monday, March 5, 2012 / Notices 

below, regardless of specification, with 

the exception of the exclusions 

discussed below. Specifically included 

within the scope of the order are 

seamless pipes greater than 4.5 inches 

(114.3 mm) up to and including 16 

inches (406.4 mm) 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. 

The seamless pipes subject to the 

order are currently classifiable under

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). 

Specifications, Characteristics, and 

Uses: Large diameter seamless pipe is 

used primarily for line applications 

such as oil, gas, or water pipeline, or 

utility distribution systems. 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 A–106 standard 

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 A–335 

standard must be used if temperatures 

and stress levels exceed those allowed 

for ASTM A–106. 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. If exceptionally low 

temperature uses or conditions are 

anticipated, standard pipe may be 

manufactured to ASTM A–333 or ASTM 

A–334 specifications. 

Seamless line pipes are intended for 

the conveyance of oil and natural gas or 

other fluids in pipe lines. Seamless line 

pipes are produced to the API 5L 

specification. Seamless water well pipe 

(ASTM A–589) and seamless galvanized 

pipe for fire protection uses (ASTM A– 

795) are used for the conveyance of 

water. 

Seamless pipes are commonly 

produced and certified to meet ASTM 

A–106, ASTM A–53, API 5L–B, and API 

5L–X42 specifications. To avoid 

maintaining separate production runs 

and separate inventories, manufacturers 

typically triple or quadruple certify the 

pipes by meeting the metallurgical 

requirements and performing the 

required tests pursuant to the respective 

specifications. 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 or 

quadruple certified pipes in large 

diameters is for use as oil and gas 

distribution lines for commercial 

applications. A more minor application 

for large diameter seamless pipes is for 

use in pressure piping systems by 

refineries, petrochemical plants, and 

chemical plants, as well as in power 

generation plants and in some oil field 

uses (on shore and off shore) such as for 

separator lines, gathering lines and 

metering runs. These applications 

constitute the majority of the market for 

the subject seamless pipes. However, 

ASTM A–106 pipes may be used in 

some boiler applications. 

The scope of the order includes all 

seamless pipe meeting the physical 

parameters described above and 

produced to one of the specifications 

listed above, regardless of application, 

with the exception of the exclusions 

discussed below, 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 the order. 

Therefore, seamless pipes meeting the 

physical description above, but not 

produced to the ASTM A–53, ASTM A– 

106, ASTM A–333, ASTM A–334, 

ASTM A–589, ASTM A–795, and API 

5L specifications shall be covered if 

used in a standard, line, or pressure 

application, with the exception of the 

specific exclusions discussed below. 

For example, there are certain other 

ASTM specifications of pipe which, 

because of overlapping characteristics, 

could potentially be used in ASTM A– 

106 applications. These specifications 

generally include ASTM A–161, ASTM 

A–192, ASTM A–210, ASTM A–252, 

ASTM A–501, ASTM A–523, ASTM A– 

524, and ASTM A–618. When such 

pipes are used in a standard, line, or 

pressure pipe application, such 

products are covered by the scope of the 

order. 

Specifically excluded from the scope 

of the order are: A. Boiler tubing and 

mechanical tubing, if such products are 

not produced to ASTM A–53, ASTM A– 

106, ASTM A–333, ASTM A–334, 

ASTM A–589, ASTM A–795, and API 

5L specifications and are not used in 

standard, line, or pressure pipe 

applications. B. Finished and 

unfinished oil country tubular goods 

(‘‘OCTG’’), 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 the scope when 

used in standard, line or pressure 

applications. C. Products produced to 

the A–335 specification unless they are 

used in an application that would 

normally utilize ASTM A–53, ASTM A– 

106, ASTM A–333, ASTM A–334, 

ASTM A–589, ASTM A–795, and API 

5L specifications. D. Line and riser pipe 

for deepwater application, i.e., line and 

riser pipe that is: (1) Used in a 

deepwater application, which means for 

use in water depths of 1,500 feet or 

more; (2) intended for use in and is 

actually used for a specific deepwater 

project; (3) rated for a specified 

minimum yield strength of not less than 

60,000 psi; and (4) not identified or 

certified through the use of a monogram, 

stencil, or otherwise marked with an 

API specification (e.g., ‘‘API 5L’’). 

With regard to the excluded products 

listed above, the Department will not 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to require end-use 

certification until such time as 

petitioner or other interested parties 

provide to the Department a reasonable 

basis to believe or suspect that the 

products are being utilized in a covered 

application. If such information is 

provided, we will require end-use 

certification only for the product(s) (or 

specification(s)) for which evidence is 

provided that such products are being 

used in a covered application as 

described above. For example, if, based 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 43 / Monday, March 5, 2012 / Notices 13081 

on evidence provided by petitioner, the 

Department finds a reasonable basis to 

believe or suspect that seamless pipe 

produced to the A–335 specification is 

being used in an A–106 application, we 

will require end-use certifications for 

imports of that specification. Normally 

we will require only the importer of 

record to certify to the end use of the 

imported merchandise. If it later proves 

necessary for adequate implementation, 

we may also require producers who 

export such products to the United 

States to provide such certification on 

invoices accompanying shipments to 

the United States. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, our written description of the 

merchandise subject to this scope is 

dispositive. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

As noted above, all four of the 

potential respondents submitted letters 

to the Department indicating that they 

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 CBP, CBP 

data showed subject merchandise 

manufactured by SMI may have entered 

for consumption into the United States 

during the POR. On December 14 and 

20, 2011, the Department placed on the 

record of the review the CBP data and 

copies of the entry documents in 

question. 

The Department confirmed with CBP 

the no shipment claims of NKK, JFE, 

and Nippon. Because the evidence on 

the record indicates NKK, JFE, and 

Nippon did not export subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR, we preliminarily determine 

these three companies had no 

reviewable transactions during the POR. 

On December 16, 2011, the 

Department requested that SMI 

substantiate its claims of no shipments. 

On January 20, 2012, SMI reiterated that 

it did not make any U.S. sales of subject 

merchandise during the POR and that it 

did not sell subject merchandise to any 

end users or distributors with 

knowledge that the subject merchandise 

would be subsequently exported to the 

United States during the POR. SMI did 

report selling subject merchandise 

through trading companies, distributors, 

and end users in Japan and third 

countries. However, SMI added that it 

neither initiated nor was aware of its 

subject merchandise being exported 

from Japan or third countries to the 

United States during the POR. 

Based on SMI’s submissions and our 

review of CBP documentation, the 

Department preliminarily determines 

that the record evidence supports SMI’s 

explanation that, at the time of the sale, 

it had no knowledge that any of these 

entries of subject merchandise entered 

the United States during the POR. 

Accordingly, we preliminarily 

determine that subject merchandise 

produced by SMI entered the United 

States during the POR under its 

antidumping case number, but did so by 

way of intermediaries without its 

knowledge. See Memorandum to the 

File titled, ‘‘Preliminary Determination 

of No Shipments in the Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review on Certain 

Large Diameter Carbon and Alloy 

Seamless Standard, Line, and Pressure 

Pipe (Over 4 c Inches) from Japan,’’ 

dated concurrently with this notice for 

a full analysis. Thus, the Department 

finds that SMI’s claim of no shipments 

or entries for consumption is 

substantiated. Based upon the 

certifications and the evidence on the 

record, we are satisfied that SMI had no 

shipments of subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POR, and, as 

such, we preliminarily determine that 

SMI had no reviewable transactions 

during the POR. 

Since the implementation of the 1997 

regulations, our practice concerning noshipment respondents had been to 

rescind the administrative review if the 

respondent certifies that it had no 

shipments and we have confirmed 

through our examination of CBP data 

that there were no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR. See 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(3); see also Certain 

Large Diameter Carbon and Alloy 

Seamless Standard, Line, and Pressure 

Pipe From Japan: Rescission of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 75 FR 38781 (July 6, 2010). In 

such circumstances, we normally 

instruct CBP to liquidate any entries 

from the no-shipment company at the 

deposit rate in effect on the date of 

entry. See 19 CFR 351.212(a) 

In our May 6, 2003, ‘‘automatic 

assessment’’ clarification, we explained 

that, where respondents in an 

administrative review demonstrate that 

they had no knowledge of sales through 

resellers to the United States, we would 

instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at 

the all-others rate applicable to the 

proceeding. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (‘‘Assessment 

Policy Notice’’). 

Because ‘‘as entered’’ liquidation 

instructions do not alleviate the 

concerns which the Assessment Policy 

Notice was intended to address, we 

determine that it is appropriate in this 

case to instruct CBP to liquidate any 

existing entries of merchandise 

produced by Nippon, JFE, SMI, and 

NKK, and exported by other parties at 

the all-others rate, should we continue 

to find that Nippon, JFE, SMI, and NKK 

had no shipments of subject 

merchandise in the POR in our final 

results. See, e.g., Magnesium Metal 

From the Russian Federation: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 

26922, 26923 (May 13, 2010), 

unchanged in Magnesium Metal From 

the Russian Federation: Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 75 FR 56989, 56990 (September 

17, 2010). In addition, the Department 

finds that it is more consistent with the 

Assessment Policy Notice not to rescind 

the review in part in these 

circumstances but, rather, to complete 

the review with respect to Nippon, JFE, 

SMI, and NKK and to issue appropriate 

instructions to CBP based on the final 

results of the review. See the 

‘‘Assessment Rates’’ section of this 

notice below. 

Public Comment 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

within 30 days of the date of publication 

of this notice. Rebuttal briefs, which 

must be limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, should be filed not later than 

five days after the time limit for filing 

case briefs. See 19 CFR 351.309(d). 

Parties submitting arguments in this 

proceeding are requested to submit with 

each argument: (1) A statement of the 

issue; (2) a brief summary of the 

argument; and (3) a table of authorities, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.309(d)(2). Further, parties 

submitting case and/or rebuttal briefs 

are requested to provide the Department 

with an additional electronic copy of 

the public version of any such 

comments on a computer diskette. Case 

and rebuttal briefs must be served on 

interested parties in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.303(f). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), any 

interested party may request a hearing 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. If a 

hearing is requested, the Department 

will notify interested parties of the 

hearing schedule. Issues raised in the 

hearing will be limited to those raised 

in the case briefs. 

The Department will issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any such 

comments, within 120 days of 

publication of these preliminary results, 

unless extended. See section 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
13082 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 43 / Monday, March 5, 2012 / Notices 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.213(h). 

Cash-Deposit Requirements 

If we continue to make a final 

determination of no shipments, cash 

deposit requirements will not change, 

and we will not issue cash deposit 

instructions to CBP. The following cash 

deposit requirements are currently in 

effect: (1) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies, the cashdeposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (2) if the exporter is 

not a firm covered in a prior review or 

in the less-than-fair-value (‘‘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 subject 

merchandise; (3) if neither the exporter 

nor the manufacturer is a firm covered 

in this or any previous segment of the 

proceeding, the cash-deposit rate will 

continue to be the all-others rate 

established in the LTFV investigation, 

which is 68.88 percent. See Notice of 

Antidumping Duty Orders: Certain 

Large Diameter Carbon and Alloy 

Seamless Standard, Line and Pressure 

Pipe from Japan; and Certain Small 

Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless 

Standard, Line and Pressure Pipe From 

Japan and the Republic of South Africa, 

65 FR 39360 (June 26, 2000). These 

deposit requirements continue to 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, the Department 

shall determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212. The Department intends to 

issue appraisement instructions directly 

to CBP 15 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review. 

As noted above, the Department 

clarified its ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

regulation on May 6, 2003. See 

Assessment Policy Notice. This 

clarification will apply to POR entries 

by all respondent companies if we 

continue to make a final determination 

of no shipments because they certified 

that they made no POR shipments of 

subject merchandise for which they had 

knowledge of U.S. destination. We will 

instruct CBP to liquidate these entries at 

the all-others rate established in the 

less-than-fair-value investigation, 68.88 

per cent, if there is no rate for the 

intermediary involved in the 

transaction. See Assessment Policy 

Notice for a full discussion of this 

clarification. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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. 

These preliminary results of 

administrative review and notice are 

published in accordance with sections

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

28, 2011, the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘the Department’’) published in the 

Federal Register a notice of initiation of 

an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on tapered 

roller bearings (‘‘TRBs’’) and parts 

thereof, finished or unfinished from the 

People’s Republic of China. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, Requests for Revocations in 

Part and Deferral of Administrative 

Reviews, 76 FR 45227 (July 28, 2011). 

The period of review (‘‘POR’’) is June 1, 

2010, through May 31, 2011. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

‘‘Act’’), the Department shall make a 

preliminary determination in an 

administrative review of an 

antidumping duty order within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of the date of publication of the 

order. However, if it is not practicable 

to complete the review within this time 

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

allows the Department to extend the 

time period to a maximum of 365 days. 

The Department is extending the 

preliminary results by 120 days because 

the Department needs additional time to 

analyze information pertaining to 

Changshan Peer Bearing Co., Ltd.’s 

(‘‘CPZ/SKF’’) and Peer Bearing 

Company’s (‘‘Peer/SKF’’) U.S. sales and 

factors of production data and issue 

additional supplemental questionnaires. 

In addition, prior to the preliminary 

results, the Department will be 

conducting a mandatory verification of 

CPZ/SKF and Peer/SKF. Therefore, in 

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

the Act, because the Department finds 

that it is not practicable to complete the 

review within the original deadlines, 

the Department is extending the time 

period for completing the preliminary 

results of the instant administrative 

review by 120 days, from March 1, 2012, 

until June 29, 2012. The final results 

continue to be due 120 days after the 

publication of the preliminary results. 

This notice is published pursuant to 

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

Dated: February 23, 2012.
