SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) preliminarily finds that 

Saha Thai Steel Pipe Public Co., Ltd., 

also known as Saha Thai Steel Pipe 

(Public) Co., Ltd. (Saha Thai), as well as 

28 non-examined companies, made 

sales of subject merchandise at less than 

normal value during the period of 

review (POR) March 1, 2020, through 

February 28, 2021. We further 

preliminarily determine that K Line 

Logistics (Thailand) Ltd. (K-Line) had 

no shipments during the POR. We invite 

interested parties to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable April 6, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

These preliminary results are made in 

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

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). Commerce published the notice of 

initiation of this administrative review 

on May 5, 2021.1 On November 24, 

2021, Commerce extended the time for 

issuing the preliminary results of this 

review to March 31, 2022.2

For a more complete description of 

the events between the initiation of this 

review and these preliminary results, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached in Appendix 

I to this notice. The Preliminary 

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 https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, the signed 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum can 

be accessed directly at https://

access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesList

Layout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 4

The products covered by the Order 

are pipes and tubes from Thailand. For 

a full description of the scope of this 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.5

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2) of the 

Act. Export price is calculated in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

Normal value is calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying these 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

On May 31, 2021, K-Line submitted a 

letter certifying that it had no exports or 

sales of subject merchandise into the 

United States during the POR.6 U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

did not have any information to 

contradict this claim of no shipments 

during the POR.7 Therefore, we 

preliminarily determine that K-Line did 

not have any shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR. Consistent 

with Commerce’s practice, we will not 

rescind the review with respect to KLine but will complete the review and 

issue instructions to CBP based on the 

final results.8

Rate for Non-Examined Companies 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a weighted-average 

dumping margin to be applied to 

companies not selected for individual 

examination when Commerce limits its 

examination in an administrative review 

pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the 

Act. Generally, Commerce looks to 

section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in a less-than-fair-value 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the weighted-average 

dumping margin for companies which 

were not selected for individual 

examination in an administrative 

review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act, the all-others rate is normally 

an amount equal to the weightedaverage of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established 

for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent) margins, and any margins 

determined entirely on the basis of facts 

available. 

In this review, we have preliminarily 

calculated a weighted-average dumping 

margin for mandatory respondent, Saha 

Thai, that is zero percent. Where the 

rates for the individually examined 

companies are all zero, de minimis, or 

determined entirely using facts 

available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act 

instructs that Commerce ‘‘may use any 

reasonable method to establish the 

estimated all-others rate for exporters 

and producers not individually 

investigated, including averaging the 

estimated weighted average dumping 

margins determined for the exporters 

and producers individually 

investigated.’’ One such reasonable 

method is to weight average the zero 

and de minimis rates, and the rates 

determined entirely pursuant to facts 

available. In fact, the SAA states that

this is the ‘‘expected’’ method in such 

circumstances.9 Accordingly, we 

determined the weighted-average 

dumping margin for the 28 companies 

that were not selected for individual 

examination based on the weighted 

average dumping margin calculated for 

Saha Thai, i.e., zero percent, consistent 

with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. 

This is the only rate determined in 

this review for an individually 

examined company, and, thus, it is 

applied to the 28 firms not selected for 

individual examination. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following weighted-average 

dumping margins exist for the period 

March 1, 2020, through February 28, 

2021:

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these preliminary results 

to interested parties within five days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Public Comment 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

not later than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, may be filed not later than 

seven days after the date for filing case 

briefs.11 Note that Commerce has 

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information until further notice.12

Parties who submit case briefs or 

rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) A statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument; 

and (3) a table of authorities.13

Executive summaries should be limited 

to five pages total, including footnotes. 

Case and rebuttal briefs should be filed 

using ACCESS 14 and must be served on 

interested parties.15 An electronically 

filed document must be received 

successfully in its entirety by ACCESS 

by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date 

that the document is due. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain: (1) The party’s name, 

address and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

issues to be discussed. If a request for 

a hearing is made, Commerce intends to 

hold the hearing at a time and date to 

be determined. Parties should confirm 

the date and time of the hearing two 

days before the scheduled date. Issues 

raised in the hearing will be limited to 

those raised in the briefs. 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

the issues raised in any written briefs, 

not later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, unless 

extended, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuing the final results, 

Commerce shall determine and CBP 

shall assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. If an examined respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

above de minimis in the final results of 

this review, we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem assessment rates on 

the basis of the ratio of the total amount 

of dumping calculated for an importer’s 

examined sales and the total entered 

value of such sales in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where either the 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an 

importer-specific assessment rate is zero 

or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Saha Thai 

for which they did not know that the 

merchandise was destined to the United 

States and for all entries attributed to KLine for which we found no shipments 

during the POR, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate those entries at the all-others 

rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.16 For the companies 

that were not selected for individual 

review, we intend to assign an 

assessment rate based on the 

methodology described in the ‘‘Rates for 

Non-Examined Companies’’ section. 

The final results of this review shall be 

the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by this review 

where applicable. 

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 Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the notice of final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash 

deposit rate for the companies under 

review will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in 

the final results of this review (except, 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
19858 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 66 / Wednesday, April 6, 2022 / Notices 

17See Order. 

if that rate is de minimis, then the cash 

deposit rate will be zero); (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not listed above in the 

preliminary results of this review, 

including those for which Commerce 

may determine had no shipments 

during the POR, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review or another 

completed segment of this proceeding, 

but the manufacturer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

for the most recently completed segment 

of this proceeding for the manufacturer 

of the merchandise; and (4) if neither 

the exporter nor the manufacturer is a 

firm covered in this or any previously 

completed segment of this proceeding, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

all-others rate of 15.67 percent, 

established in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.17 These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

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 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, 

and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 

351.221(b)(4).
