Antidumping Duty Administrative

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 9, 2010, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) published 

the final results of its administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on certain circular welded non-alloy 

steel pipe from Mexico. The period of 

review (POR) is November 1, 2008, 

through October 31, 2009.1

In the Final Results, the Department 

assigned to Mueller Comercial de 

Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Mueller), an 

exporter of certain circular welded nonalloy steel pipe from Mexico to the 

United States, a rate of 19.81 percent for 

the 2008–09 period of review. The 

Department had conducted 

administrative reviews of Mueller, 

Tuberia Nacional, S.A. de C.V. (TUNA), 

and Ternium, S.A.de C.V. (Ternium). 

The Department based Mueller’s 

margin, in part, on facts available 

because an unaffiliated supplier refused 

to supply the Department with its costs 

of production, necessary to conduct the 

sales-below-cost test on Mueller’s home 

market sales. 

Following the publication of the Final 

Results, Mueller filed a lawsuit with the 

United States Court of International 

Trade (CIT) challenging the 

Department’s final results of 

administrative review.2 The CIT upheld 

the Department’s final results.3 Mueller 

timely appealed to the United States 

Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit 

(CAFC or Court).4 The CAFC remanded 

for the Department to reconsider the 

margin calculated for Mueller.5

The United States and Mueller have 

now entered into an agreement to settle 

this dispute. The Court issued its 

amended Order of Judgment by 

Stipulation on February 6, 2015.6

Pursuant to the Court’s amended Order 

of Judgment by Stipulation, the 

amended final weighted-average 

dumping margin for Mueller Comercial 

de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. is 13.70 

percent, as agreed to by the parties. 

Assessment Rates 

The Department shall determine, and 

CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 

all appropriate entries covered by this 

review pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). The 

Department intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP within 15 days after 

the date of publication of these 

amended final results of review in the 

Federal Register. 

Because Mueller’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is not zero or de 

minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the 

Department has calculated importerspecific antidumping duty assessment 

rates. We calculated importer-specific 

ad valorem antidumping duty 

assessment rates by aggregating the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

examined sales of each importer and 

dividing each of these amounts by the 

total entered value associated with those 

sales. We will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review where an 

importer-specific assessment rate is not 

zero or de minimis. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate without regard to antidumping 

duties any entries for which the 

importer-specific assessment rate is zero 

or de minimis. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The cash deposit rate for Mueller will 

be that stipulated in the settlement 

agreement, 13.70 percent. 

Notification to Importers

reminder to importers of their

Ferrovanadium From the People’s 

Republic of China and the Republic of 

South Africa: Continuation of 

Antidumping Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of determinations 

by the Department of Commerce (the 

‘‘Department’’) and the International 

Trade Commission (the ‘‘ITC’’) that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

orders on ferrovanadium from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) and 

the Republic of South Africa (‘‘South 

Africa’’) would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, the Department is 

publishing a notice of continuation of 

these antidumping duty orders. 

DATES: Effective Date: February 18, 

2015.

5193, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 1, 2013, the Department 

published a notice of initiation of the 

second sunset reviews of the 

antidumping duty orders on 

ferrovanadium from the PRC and South 

Africa, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

‘‘Act’’).1 As a result of its reviews, the 

Department determined that revocation 

of the antidumping duty orders on 

ferrovanadium from the PRC and South 

Africa would likely lead to continuation 

or recurrence of dumping and notified 

the ITC of the magnitude of the margins 

likely to prevail should the orders be 

revoked.2 On February 3, 2015, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation 

of the antidumping duty orders on 

ferrovanadium from the PRC and South 

Africa would likely lead to continuation 

or recurrence of material injury to an 

industry in the United States within a 

reasonably foreseeable time.3

Scope of the Orders 

The scope of these orders covers all 

ferrovanadium regardless of grade, 

chemistry, form, shape, or size. 

Ferrovanadium is an alloy of iron and 

vanadium that is used chiefly as an 

additive in the manufacture of steel. The 

merchandise is commercially and 

scientifically identified as vanadium. It 

specifically excludes vanadium 

additives other than ferrovanadium, 

such as nitride vanadium, vanadiumaluminum master alloys, vanadium 

chemicals, vanadium oxides, vanadium 

waste and scrap, and vanadium-bearing 

raw materials such as slag, boiler 

residues and fly ash. Merchandise under 

the following Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’) item numbers 2850.00.2000, 

8112.40.3000, and 8112.40.6000 are 

specifically excluded. Ferrovanadium is 

classified under HTSUS item number 

7202.92.00. Although the HTSUS item 

number is provided for convenience and 

Customs purposes, the Department’s 

written description of the scope of these 

orders remains dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

the Department and the ITC that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

orders would likely lead to continuation 

or recurrence of dumping and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act, the Department hereby orders 

the continuation of the antidumping 

orders on ferrovanadium from the PRC 

and South Africa. U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection will continue to 

collect antidumping duty cash deposits 

at the rates in effect at the time of entry 

for all imports of subject merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the orders will be the date of 

publication in the Federal Register of 

this notice of continuation. Pursuant to 

section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the 

Department intends to initiate the next 

five-year review of the orders not later 

than 30 days prior to the fifth 

anniversary of the effective date of 

continuation. 

These five-year sunset reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

section 751(c) of the Act and published 

pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4). 

Dated: February 6, 2015.
