initiation of an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on thermal 

paper from Germany, covering two 

respondents, Mitsubishi and Koehler.3

Partial Rescission of the 2010–2011 

Administrative Review 

On March 29, 2011, petitioner and 

Mitsubishi withdrew their respective 

requests for review of Mitsubishi. 

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

Secretary will rescind an administrative 

review, in whole or in part, if the parties 

that requested a review withdraw the 

request within 90 days of the date of 

publication of the notice of initiation of 

the requested review. The instant 

review was initiated on December 30, 

2011. See Notice of Initiation. The 

petitioner and Mitsubishi’s withdrawals 

of their respective requests for a review 

of Mitsubishi fall within the 90-day 

deadline for rescission by the 

Department, and no other party 

requested an administrative review of 

this particular respondent. Therefore, in 

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

and consistent with our practice, we are 

rescinding this review with respect to 

Mitsubishi.4 The instant review will 

continue with respect to Koehler. 

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 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. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under an APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable violation. 

We have been enjoined from 

liquidating entries of the subject 

merchandise produced and/or exported 

by Mitsubishi. Therefore, we do not 

intend to issue liquidation instructions 

to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) for such entries entered on or 

after November 1, 2009, until such time 

as the preliminary injunction issued on 

March 17, 2009, is lifted. 

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).

482–3477, respectively. 

SUMMARY: On March 27, 2012, the 

Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) published the notice 

Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from the 

People’s Republic of China: Initiation of 

Countervailing Duty Investigation, 77 FR 

18211 (March 27, 2012) (‘‘Initiation 

Notice’’). In the ‘‘Scope of Investigation’’ 

section of the Initiation Notice, the 

Department omitted a word and used an 

incomplete Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

1, 2012, the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) received a 

countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’) petition 

concerning imports of drawn stainless 

steel sinks from the People’s Republic of 

China (‘‘PRC’’) filed in proper form by 

Elkay Manufacturing Company. See 

Petition for the Imposition of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duties 

Against Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks 

from the People’s Republic of China, 

dated March 1, 2012. On March 27, 

2012, the Department published the 

Initiation Notice for the investigation. 

The first paragraph of the ‘‘Scope of 

Investigation’’ section of the Initiation 

Notice stated the following: ‘‘Stainless 

steel sinks with multiple bowls that are 

joined through a welding operation to 

form one unit are covered by the scope 

of the investigation.’’ See Initiation 

Notice, 77 FR at 18212. The Department 

inadvertently omitted the word 

‘‘drawn’’ from this sentence, as follows: 

‘‘Stainless steel sinks with multiple 

drawn bowls that are joined through a 

welding operation to form one unit are 

covered by the scope of the 

investigation.’’ 

Furthermore, the last sentence of the 

‘‘Scope of Investigation’’ section stated 

the following: ‘‘The products covered by 

the investigation are currently classified 

in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) under 

statistical reporting number 

7324.10.000.’’ The Department 

inadvertently omitted a zero from the 

end of this HTSUS number. The correct 

HTSUS number is 7324.10.0000. 

Correction 

The ‘‘Scope of Investigation’’ section 

below incorporates these two 

corrections and represents the correct 

scope of the investigation.1

Scope of Investigation 

The products covered by the scope of 

this investigation are stainless steel 

sinks with single or multiple drawn 

bowls, with or without drain boards, 

whether finished or unfinished, 

regardless of type of finish, gauge, or 

grade of stainless steel (‘‘Drawn 

Stainless Steel Sinks’’). Mounting clips, 

fasteners, seals, and sound-deadening 

pads are also covered by the scope of 

this investigation if they are included 

within the sales price of the Drawn 

Stainless Steel Sinks.2 For purposes of 

this scope definition, the term ‘‘drawn’’ 

refers to a manufacturing process using 

metal forming technology to produce a 

smooth basin with seamless, smooth,

Republic of China, 68 FR 16765 (April 7, 2003). 

2On April 21, 2009, in consultation with the U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the 

Department added the following HTSUS 

classification to the AD/CVD module for pipe 

fittings: 7326.90.8588. See Memorandum from

and rounded corners. Drawn Stainless 

Steel Sinks are available in various 

shapes and configurations and may be 

described in a number of ways 

including flush mount, top mount, or 

undermount (to indicate the attachment 

relative to the countertop). Stainless 

steel sinks with multiple drawn bowls 

that are joined through a welding 

operation to form one unit are covered 

by the scope of the investigation. Drawn 

Stainless Steel Sinks are covered by the 

scope of the investigation whether or 

not they are sold in conjunction with 

non-subject accessories such as faucets 

(whether attached or unattached), 

strainers, strainer sets, rinsing baskets, 

bottom grids, or other accessories. 

Excluded from the scope of the 

investigation are stainless steel sinks 

with fabricated bowls. Fabricated bowls 

do not have seamless corners, but rather 

are made by notching and bending the 

stainless steel, and then welding and 

finishing the vertical corners to form the 

bowls. Stainless steel sinks with 

fabricated bowls may sometimes be 

referred to as ‘‘zero radius’’ or ‘‘near 

zero radius’’ sinks. 

The products covered by this 

investigation are currently classified in 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) under 

statistical reporting number 

7324.10.0000. Although the HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the products under 

investigation is dispositive of its 

inclusion as subject merchandise. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 777(i) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended.

Non-Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings 

From the People’s Republic of China: 

Initiation and Preliminary Results of 

Changed Circumstances Review, and 

Intent To Revoke Order in Part 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

DATES: Effective Date: April 16, 2012. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 

751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.216(b), Ford Motor Company (Ford) 

filed a request for a changed 

circumstances review of the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on nonmalleable cast iron pipe fittings from the 

People’s Republic of China (PRC) so that 

the order can be revoked with respect to 

a particular brake fluid tube connector 

(connector). The domestic industry has 

affirmatively expressed a lack of interest 

in the continuation of the order with 

respect to this product. In response to 

the request, the Department is initiating 

a changed circumstances review and 

issuing a notice of preliminary intent to 

revoke, in part, this order. Interested 

parties are invited to comment on these 

preliminary results.

Primor or Robert Bolling, Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue NW., Washington DC 20230; 

telephone (202) 482–4114 and (202) 

482–3434, respectively. 

Background 

On April 7, 2003, the Department 

published an AD order on nonmalleable cast iron pipe fittings from the 

PRC.1 On March 6, 2012, Ford requested 

revocation in part of the AD order 

pursuant to sections 751(b)(1) and 

782(h) of the Act, with respect to Ford’s 

connector. The connector is a ‘‘joint 

block’’ for brake fluid tubes and is made 

of non-malleable cast iron to Society of 

Automotive Engineers (SEA) automotive 

standard J431. The tubes have an inside 

diameter of 3.44 millimeters (0.1355 

inches) and the inside diameters of the 

fluid flow channels of the connector are 

3.2 millimeters (0.1260 inches) and 3.8 

millimeters (0.1496 inches). The end of 

the tube is forced by pressure over the 

end of a flared opening in the connector 

also known as ‘‘flared joint.’’ The flared 

joint, once made fast, permits brake 

fluid to flow through channels that 

never exceed 3.8 millimeters (0.1496 

inches) in diameter. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

finished and unfinished non-malleable 

cast iron pipe fittings with an inside 

diameter ranging from 1⁄4 inch to 6 

inches, whether threaded or 

unthreaded, regardless of industry or 

proprietary specifications. The subject 

fittings include elbows, ells, tees, 

crosses, and reducers as well as flanged 

fittings. These pipe fittings are also 

known as ‘‘cast iron pipe fittings’’ or 

‘‘gray iron pipe fittings.’’ These cast iron 

pipe fittings are normally produced to 

ASTM A–126 and ASME B.16.4 

specifications and are threaded to 

ASME B1.20.1 specifications. Most 

building codes require that these 

products are Underwriters Laboratories 

(UL) certified. The scope does not 

include cast iron soil pipe fittings or 

grooved fittings or grooved couplings. 

Fittings that are made out of ductile 

iron that have the same physical 

characteristics as the gray or cast iron 

fittings subject to the scope above or 

which have the same physical 

characteristics and are produced to 

ASME B.16.3, ASME B.16.4, or ASTM 

A–395 specifications, threaded to ASME 

B1.20.1 specifications and UL certified, 

regardless of metallurgical differences 

between gray and ductile iron, are also 

included in the scope of the order. 

These ductile fittings do not include 

grooved fittings or grooved couplings. 

Ductile cast iron fittings with 

mechanical joint ends (MJ), or push on 

ends (PO), or flanged ends and 

produced to the American Water Works 

Association (AWWA) specifications 

AWWA C110 or AWWA C153 are not 

included. 

Imports of subject merchandise are 

currently classifiable in the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) under item numbers 

7307.11.00.30, 7307.11.00.60, 

7307.19.30.60, 7307.19.30.85. HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes. The 

written description of the scope of the 

order is dispositive.2

Initiation and Preliminary Results of 

Changed Circumstances Review, and 

Intent To Revoke Order in Part 

At the request of Ford, and in 

accordance with sections 751(d)(1) and 

751(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216, 

the Department is initiating a changed 

circumstances review of non-malleable 

cast iron pipe fittings from the PRC to 

determine whether partial revocation of
