5780 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 2, 2022 / Notices 

Background 

The NACMCF was established in 

1988, in response to a recommendation 

of the National Academy of Sciences for 

an interagency approach to 

microbiological criteria for foods, and in 

response to a recommendation of the 

U.S. House of Representatives 

Committee on Appropriations, as 

expressed in the Rural Development, 

Agriculture, and Related Agencies 

Appropriation Bill for fiscal year 1988. 

The charter for the NACMCF is 

available for viewing on the FSIS 

internet web page at https://

www.fsis.usda.gov/policy/advisorycommittees/national-advisorycommittee-microbiological-criteriafoods-nacmcf. A change was made in 

the charter to replace ‘consumer group’ 

with ‘consumer organization’ in 

reference to the representative on the 

Committee providing the viewpoint of 

consumers. This change addresses 

feedback received during the NACMCF 

membership appointment process for 

the consumer representative on the 

Committee to be a member of a 

consumer organization. The NACMCF 

provides scientific advice and 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Agriculture and the Secretary of Health 

and Human Services on public health 

issues relative to the safety and 

wholesomeness of the U.S. food supply, 

including development of 

microbiological criteria and review and 

evaluation of epidemiological and risk 

assessment data and methodologies for 

assessing microbiological hazards in 

foods. The Committee also provides 

scientific advice and recommendations 

to the Departments of Commerce and 

Defense. The Committee reports to the 

Secretary of Agriculture through the 

Under Secretary for Food Safety, the 

Committee’s Chair, and to the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services through 

the Assistant Secretary for Health, the 

Committee’s Vice-Chair. Currently, Ms. 

Sandra Eskin, Deputy Under Secretary 

for Food Safety, USDA, is the 

Committee Chair; Dr. Susan T. Mayne, 

Director of the Food and Drug 

Administration’s Center for Food Safety 

and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), is the 

Vice-Chair; and Mr. John J. Jarosh, FSIS, 

is the Director of the NACMCF 

Secretariat and Designated Federal 

Officer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 5, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this administrative review.1 On 

November 18, 2021, Commerce 

extended the deadline for the final 

results of this review to no later than 

January 28, 2022.2 For a complete 

description of the events that followed 

the Preliminary Results, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum.3

We are conducting this review in 

accordance with section 751 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 4

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is welded pipe. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in interested parties’ 

briefs are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

issues addressed is attached to this 

notice at Appendix I. The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the case and 

rebuttal briefs and the evidence on the 

record, we made certain changes from 

the Preliminary Results. These changes 

are explained in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

Section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act states 

that for companies not investigated, in 

general, we will determine an all-others 

rate by weight-averaging the 

countervailable subsidy rates 

established for each of the companies 

individually investigated, excluding 

zero and de minimis rates or any rates 

based solely on the facts available. For 

the final results of this review, we 

determine that only Hyundai RB Co., 

Ltd. (Hyundai RB) received 

countervailable subsidies that are above 

de minimis in both 2018 and 2019. 

However, because the 2018 subsidy rate 

is based entirely on facts available, we 

are applying the 2019 subsidy rate 

calculated for Hyundai RB to the nonselected companies for 2018 and 2019, 

as it is the only rate calculated for a 

mandatory respondent that was above 

de minimis and not based entirely on 

facts available.5 For a list of the 19 

companies for which a review was 

requested, and which were not selected 

as mandatory respondents or found to 

be cross-owned with a mandatory 

respondent, see Appendix II to this 

notice. 

Final Results of Administrative Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated an 

individual net countervailable subsidy 

rate for Hyundai RB and SeAH Steel 

Corporation. Commerce determines that, 

during the POR, the net countervailable 

subsidy rates for the producers/ 

exporters under review are as follows: 

Company 

Subsidy rate for 

June 29 to 

December 31, 

2018 

(percent ad 

valorem) 

Subsidy rate for 

January 1 to 

December 31, 

2019 

(percent ad 

valorem) 

Hyundai RB Co., Ltd. ................................................................................................................................... 0.51 0.51. 

SeAH Steel Corporation 6 ............................................................................................................................ 0.24 (de minimis) 0.24 (de minimis). 

Non-Examined Companies Under Review 7 ................................................................................................ 0.51 0.51. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for these final 

results of review within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register.8

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), 

Commerce will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review, for the 

above-listed companies at the applicable 

ad valorem assessment rates listed for 

the corresponding time period (i.e., June 

29, 2018, to October 26, 2018, and April 

19, 2019, to December 31, 2019). For 

entries made during the gap period (i.e., 

on or after October 27, 2018, through 

April 18, 2019), we will continue to 

instruct CBP to liquidate the entries 

without regard to countervailing duties 

pursuant to section 703(d) of the Act. 

We intend to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of the 

final results of this review in the 

Federal Register. If a timely summons is 

filed at the U.S. Court of International 

Trade, the assessment instructions will 

direct CBP not to liquidate relevant 

entries until the time for parties to file 

a request for a statutory injunction has 

expired (i.e., within 90 days of 

publication). 

Cash Deposit Instructions 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct 

CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amounts shown for each of the 

respective companies listed above for 

2019, the second year covered by the 

period of the review, on shipments of 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of

and Decision Memorandum at Issue 4. 10See Order, 84 FR at 18775. 

11As stated in the Initiation Notice, subject 

merchandise both produced and exported by 

Husteel Co., Ltd. (Husteel) is excluded from the 

countervailing duty order. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 41540, 41551 n.9 

(July 10, 2020) (Initiation Notice). Thus, Husteel’s 

inclusion in this administrative review is limited to 

entries for which Husteel was the producer or 

exporter of the subject merchandise, but not both 

the producer and exporter. 

12As stated in the Initiation Notice, subject 

merchandise both produced and exported by 

Hyundai Steel Company (Hyundai Steel) and 

subject merchandise produced by Hyundai Steel 

and exported by Hyundai Corporation are excluded 

from the countervailing duty order. See Initiation 

Notice, 85 FR at 41551 n.10. Thus, Hyundai Steel’s 

inclusion in this administrative review is limited to 

entries for which Hyundai Steel was not the 

producer and exporter of the subject merchandise 

and for which Hyundai Steel was not the producer 

and Hyundai Corporation was not the exporter of 

subject merchandise. 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review.9 For all nonreviewed firms subject to the Order, we 

will instruct CBP to continue to collect 

cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties at the most recent 

company-specific rate or the all-others 

rate (9.29 percent), as appropriate.10

These cash deposit requirements, 

effective upon publication of these final 

results, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction 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 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an
