Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 116 /Wednesday, June 17, 1998 / Notices 33051

1The preliminary results of this administrative

review incorrectly stated that the ‘‘all others’’ rate

was 36.62 percent. Preliminary Results at 62 FR

64568.

material inputs, they should be

reclassified as direct materials costs.

Hylsa asserts that the materials in

question were correctly included in the

reported direct material costs and cites

to the Cost Verification Report at 22.

Department’s Position

We agree with Hylsa. After further

analysis we determined that aluminum,

zinc, and zinc chloride were properly

classified as direct materials for the

purposes of this review. Therefore, no

adjustment to Hylsa’s reported material

costs is needed for the final results.

Comment 12: Indirect Selling Expenses

in the Arm’s-Length Test

Petitioners note that the computer

program used to determine whether

Hylsa’s home market sales to affiliated

parties were at arm’s length for the

preliminary results of this

administrative review unintentionally

neglected to subtract indirect selling

expenses from the gross unit prices

prior to testing the affiliated-party

prices.

Department’s Position

It is the Department’s practice not to

adjust for indirect selling expenses for

home market sales in the arm’s-length

test and margin calculation programs

when the reviewed U.S. transactions are

EP sales. See Notice of Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review: Certain Welded Carbon Steel

Pipe and Tube from Turkey, 61 FR

69067 (December 31, 1996). Therefore,

we are not adjusting our methodology

for the final results of this

administrative review.

Comment 13: Reported Customer Codes

Petitioners argue that Hylsa’s reported

customer codes are reported in a nonnumeric and inconsistent format.

Petitioners assert that this inconsistency

may result in one customer being

treated as two separate entities in the

arm’s-length test if it has two customer

codes. Because the arm’s-length

program does not include special

instructions to correct for this error,

reason petitioners, the Department

should insert the proper language.

Department’s Position

We noted the inconsistent format in

which Hylsa reported customer codes

for the preliminary results of this

review. We inserted special computer

language to correct for the

inconsistencies that the petitioners

noted for affiliated-customer codes in

the arm’s-length test for the preliminary

results. Since the arm’s-length test

compares the weighted-average prices of

affiliated party sales, by customer code

and CONNUM, to the weight-averaged

prices of unaffiliated party sales by

CONNUM only, there is no need to

insert code to ‘‘correct’’ for the home

market customer codes. Therefore, for

these final results, we have not inserted

additional programming language

related to this issue.

Final Results of the Review

As a result of this review, we

determine that the following weightedaverage dumping margin exists:

CIRCULAR WELDED NON-ALLOY STEEL

PIPES AND TUBES

Producer/manufacturer/exporterWeighted-average margin

Hylsa ..................................... 8.31

The Department will determine, and

the U.S. Customs Service shall assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. Because Hylsa was the only

importer during the POR, we have

calculated the importer-specific per-unit

duty assessment rate for the

merchandise imported by Hylsa by

dividing the total amount of

antidumping duties calculated during

the POR by the total quantity entered

during the POR. The Department will

issue appraisement instructions directly

to the Customs Service.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective upon

publication of this notice of final results

of review for all shipments of circular

welded non-alloy steel pipe from

Mexico entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption on or after

the publication date, as provided for by

§ 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash

deposit rate for the reviewed company

will be the rate stated above; (2) if the

exporter is not a firm covered in this

review, a prior review, or the original

LTFV investigation, but the

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate

will be the rate established for the most

recent period for the manufacturer of

the merchandise; (3) for previously

reviewed or investigated companies not

listed above, the cash deposit rate will

continue to be the company-specific rate

published for the most recent period; (4)

the cash deposit rate for all other

manufacturers or exporters will

continue to be the ‘‘all others’’ rate of

32.62 percent.1 See Notice of

Antidumping Orders: Certain Circular

Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from

Brazil, the Republic of Korea (Korea),

Mexico, and Venezuela, and

Amendment to Final Determination of

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain

Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe

from Korea, 57 FR 49453 (November 2,

1992). These deposit requirements,

when imposed, shall remain in effect

until publication of the final results of

the next administrative review.

This notice serves as a final reminder

to importers of their responsibility

under 19 C.F.R. § 353.26 of the

Department’s regulations 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.

This notice also serves as a reminder

to parties subject to administrative

protective order (APO) of their

responsibility concerning the

disposition of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 C.F.R. § 353.34(d)(1) of the

Department’s regulations. Timely

notification of the return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and the terms of an APO is a

sanctionable violation.

This determination is issued and

published in accordance with sections

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
