Steel Wire Garment Hangers From the

of Postponement of Preliminary 

Determination in the Countervailing 

Duty Investigation 

AGENCY: Import Administration,

DATES: Effective Date: March 8, 2012.

482–1009. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 18, 2012, the Department 

of Commerce (the Department) initiated 

the countervailing duty investigation of 

steel wire garment hangers from the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam. See Steel 

Wire Garment Hangers from the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Initiation 

of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 77 

FR 3737 (January 25, 2012). Currently, 

the preliminary determination is due no 

later than March 23, 2012. 

Postponement of Due Date for 

Preliminary Determination 

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), requires the 

Department to issue the preliminary 

determination in a countervailing duty 

investigation within 65 days after the 

date on which the Department initiated 

the investigation. However, if the 

Department concludes that the parties 

concerned in the investigation are 

cooperating and determines that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, section 703(c)(1)(B) of the 

Act allows the Department to postpone 

making the preliminary determination 

until no later than 130 days after the 

date on which the administering 

authority initiated the investigation. 

The Department has determined that 

the parties involved in the proceeding 

are cooperating and that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated. See section 703(c)(1)(B) of 

the Act. Specifically, the Department is 

currently investigating alleged subsidy 

programs involving loans, grants, 

income tax incentives, and the 

provision of goods or services for less 

than adequate remuneration. Due to the 

number and complexity of the alleged 

countervailable subsidy practices being 

investigated, it is not practicable to 

complete the preliminary determination 

of this investigation within the original 

time limit (i.e., by March 23, 2012). 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

703(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we are fully 

extending the due date for the 

preliminary determination to no later 

than 130 days after the day on which 

the investigation was initiated. 

However, as that date falls on a Sunday 

(i.e., May 27, 2012) and is followed by 

a federal holiday on Monday, May 28, 

2012, the deadline for completion of the 

preliminary determination is now 

Tuesday, May 29, 2012, the next 

business day. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act. 

Dated: March 2, 2012.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.

Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings 

From Italy, Malaysia, and the 

Philippines: Final Results of the 

Expedited Second Five-Year 

(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews of Antidumping 

Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On November 1, 2011, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) initiated sunset reviews of 

the antidumping duty orders on 

stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings 

(butt-weld pipe fittings) from Italy, 

Malaysia, and the Philippines pursuant 

to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).1 On the 

basis of notices of intent to participate 

and adequate substantive responses 

filed on behalf of domestic interested 

parties, and no adequate response from 

respondent interested parties, the 

Department conducted expedited (120- 

day) sunset reviews of these 

antidumping duty orders. As a result of 

these sunset reviews, the Department 

finds that revocation of the antidumping 

duty orders would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

at the levels identified below in the 

‘‘Final Results of Sunset Reviews’’ 

section of this notice. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 8, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 1, 2011, the Department 

initiated the second sunset reviews of 

the antidumping duty orders on buttweld pipe fittings from Italy, Malaysia, 

and the Philippines pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act. See Initiation Notice. 

On November 16, 2011, the Department 

received notices of intent to participate 

from four domestic interested parties, 

Core Pipe Products, Inc. (formerly 

Gerlin, Inc.), Ezeflow USA Inc.— 

Flowline Division (formerly Flowline 

Division of Markovitz Enterprises, Inc.), 

Shaw Alloy Piping Products, Inc., and 

Taylor Forge Stainless, Inc. 

(collectively, domestic interested 

parties), within the deadline specified 

in section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of the 

Department’s regulations. Domestic 

interested parties claimed interested 

party status under section 771(9)(C) of 

the Act as U.S. producers of a domestic 

like product. 

On December 1, 2011, we received an 

adequate substantive response from 

domestic interested parties within the 

30-day deadline specified in section 

351.218(d)(3)(i) of the Department’s

regulations. Additionally on December 

1, 2011, we received an incomplete 

response to the Department’s initiation 

notice of the five-year sunset review of 

butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy from 

respondent interested party Filmag 

Italia, srl (Filmag). In its incomplete 

response, Filmag also requested a oneweek extension for gathering and 

submitting the required information for 

a substantive response. On December 5, 

2011, we notified Filmag that in light of 

the Department’s statutory requirement 

to issue timely determinations in these 

sunset reviews, and given the fact that 

parties were afforded ample time in 

which to provide complete substantive 

responses, we were unable to grant 

Filmag’s extension request.2

On December 6, 2011, we notified 

Filmag that it did not include a 

representative certification in its 

December 1, 2011, submission, and 

requested that Filmag resubmit its 

December 1, 2011, submission, with all 

of the proper certifications, by 

December 7, 2011.3 On December 7, 

2011, Filmag resubmitted its December 

1, 2011, submission, which included all 

of the proper certifications. 

On December 13, 2011, because 

Filmag did not provide any volume data 

to show that its exports accounted for 

more than 50 percent of the total exports 

of subject merchandise to the United 

States over the relevant five-year period 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A), 

we determined its December 1, 2011, 

response to be inadequate.4

We did not receive any substantive 

response from any other respondent 

interested parties with respect to the 

antidumping duty orders on butt-weld 

pipe fittings from Italy, Malaysia, or the 

Philippines. Additionally, we did not 

receive any rebuttal response from any 

respondent interested parties. As a 

result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) 

of the Act and section 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) of the 

Department’s regulations, the 

Department conducted expedited sunset 

reviews of these orders.5

On January 6, 2012, domestic 

interested parties submitted a letter to 

the Department in support of the 

Department’s Letter to the U.S. 

International Trade Commission and the 

Department’s Adequacy Determination 

Memorandum. Additionally, in their 

January 6, 2012, letter, domestic 

interested parties reiterated that the 

Department should find that revocation 

of the antidumping duty orders on buttweld pipe fittings from Italy, Malaysia, 

and the Philippines would be likely to 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping at the margins indicated in 

domestic interested parties’ substantive 

response. 

Scope of the Orders 

For purposes of the orders, the 

product covered is certain stainless steel 

butt-weld pipe fittings (butt-weld 

fittings). Butt-weld pipe fittings are 

under 14 inches in outside diameter 

(based on nominal pipe size), whether 

finished or unfinished. The product 

encompasses all grades of stainless steel 

and ‘‘commodity’’ and ‘‘specialty’’ 

fittings. Specifically excluded from the 

definition are threaded, grooved, and 

bolted fittings, and fittings made from 

any material other than stainless steel. 

The butt-weld fittings subject to the 

orders are generally designated under 

specification ASTM A403/A403M, the 

standard specification for Wrought 

Austenitic Stainless Steel Piping 

Fittings, or its foreign equivalents (e.g., 

DIN or JIS specifications). This 

specification covers two general classes 

of fittings, WP and CR, of wrought 

austenitic stainless steel fittings of 

seamless and welded construction 

covered by the latest revision of ANSI 

B16.9, ANSI B16.11, and ANSI B16.28. 

Butt-weld fittings manufactured to 

specification ASTM A774, or its foreign 

equivalents, are also covered by the 

orders. 

The orders do not apply to cast 

fittings. Cast austenitic stainless steel 

pipe fittings are covered by 

specifications A351/A351M, A743/ 

743M, and A744/A744M. 

The butt-weld fittings subject to the 

orders are currently classifiable under 

subheading 7307.23.0000 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). Although the 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of the 

orders is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in these cases are 

addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision 

Memorandum for the Final Results of 

the Expedited Second Five-Year 

(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews of the Antidumping 

Duty Orders on Stainless Steel ButtWeld Pipe Fittings from Italy, Malaysia, 

and the Philippines’’ from Christian 

Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations, Import Administration, to 

Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting Assistant 

Secretary for Import Administration, 

dated February 29, 2012 (Decision 

Memorandum), which is hereby 

adopted by this notice. The issues 

discussed in the Decision Memorandum 

include the likelihood of continuation 

or recurrence of dumping and the 

magnitude of the margin likely to 

prevail if the orders were revoked. 

Parties can find a complete discussion 

of all issues raised in these sunset 

reviews and the corresponding 

recommendations in this public 

memorandum, which is on file 

electronically via Import 

Administration’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (IA ACESS). 

Access to IA ACCESS is available in the 

Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the 

main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete 

version of the Decision Memorandum 

can be accessed directly on the internet 

at http://www.trade.gov/ia/. The signed 

Decision Memorandum and the 

electronic versions of the Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Final Results of Sunset Reviews 

The Department determines that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

orders on butt-weld pipe fittings from 

Italy, Malaysia, and the Philippines 

would likely lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping at the following
