Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of

changed circumstances antidumping

duty administrative review.

SUMMARY: On April 7, 1997, the

Department of Commerce (the

Department) published the preliminary

results of its changed circumstances

antidumpting duty administrative

review of certain welded stainless steel

pipe (WSSP) from Taiwan (63 FR

16982). The Department preliminarily

determined that Chang Mein Industries

Co., Ltd. (Chang Mein) is the successorin-interest to Chang Tieh Industry Co.,

Ltd. (Chang Tieh) and is therefore,

entitled to Chang Tieh’s exclusion from

the antidumping duty order or WSSP

from Taiwan. We invited interested

parties to comment on our preliminary

results. We received no comments. We

have now completed this review and

determine that, for purposes of the

antidumping duty law, Chang Mein is

the successor firm to Chang Tieh and, as

such, is subject to exclusion from the

order.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Scope of the Review

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the statute are references to

the provisions effective January 1, 1995,

the effective date of the amendments

made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Tariff

Act) by the Uruguay Round Agreements

Act (URAA). In addition, unless

otherwise indicated, all citations to the

Department’s regulations are to the

regulations codified at 19 CFR part 351,

62 FR 27296 (May 19, 1997).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On September 11, 1996, Chang Mien

requested that the Department conduct

a changed circumstances administrative

review pursuant to section 751(b) of the

Tariff Act to determine whether Chang

Mein should properly be considered the

successor firm to Chang Tieh. In the

less-than-fair-value (LTFV)

investigation, the Department excluded

Change Tieh from the antidumping duty

order on WSSP from Taiwan after

calculating a margin of zero for Chang

Tieh. See Notice of Amended Final

Determination and Antidumping Duty

Order; Certain Welded Stainless Steel

Pipes from Taiwan, 59 FR 6619

(February 11, 1994). Chang Mien

maintained that, as Chang Mein and

Chang Tieh were related at the time of

the LTFV investigation, Chang Mein is

entitled to Chang Tieh’s exclusion from

the order ab initio. Chang Mien further

stated that, since publication of the

order, Change Mien has absorbed Chang

Tieh and, therefore, as the successor

firm to Chang Tieh, is entitled to Chang

Tieh’s exclusion from

We preliminarily determined that

Chang Mien is the successor-in-interest

to Chang Tieh, since it essentially

operates as the same entity as the former

company; maintaining the same

management, production facilities, and

supplier relationships as did Chang

Tieh prior to its merger with Chang

Mien (63 FR 16982, April 7, 1998). We

gave interested parties an opportunity to

comment on the preliminary results of

this changed circumstances review. We

received no comments.

Scope of the Review

The merchandise subject to this

antidumping duty order is welded

austenitic stainless steel pipe that meets

the standards and specifications set

forth by the American Society for

Testing and Materials (ASTM) for the

welded form of chromium nickel pipe

designated ASTM A–312. The

merchandise covered by the scope of

this order also includes austenitic

welded stainless steel pipes made

according to the standards of other

nations which are comparable to ASTM

A–312.

WSSP is produced by forming

stainless steel flat-rolled products into a

tubular configuration and welding along

the seam. WSSP is a commodity product

generally used as a conduit to transmit

liquids or gases. Major applications

include, but are not limited to, digester

brewery process and transport lines,

general food processing lines,

automotive paint lines and paper

process machines. Imports of WSSP are

currently classifiable under the

following Harmonized Tariff Schedule

of the United States (HTS) subheadings:

7306.40.5005, 7306.40.5015,

7306.40.5040, 7306.40.5065 and

7306.40.5086. Although these

subheadings include both pipes and

tubes, the scope of this antidumping

duty order is limited to welded

austenitic stainless steel pipes.

Although the HTS subheadings are

provided for convenience and Customs

purposes, the written description of the

scope of this order is dispositive.

Final Results of Changed

Circumstances Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review

Based on the information that Chang

Mien provided in its responses to the

Department’s questionnaires and on the

data obtained at verification, we

determine that Chang Mien is the

successor to Chang Tieh and,

accordingly, is excluded from the

antidumping duty order on WSSP from

Taiwan. For a complete discussion of

the basis for this decision, see Certain

Welded Stainless Steel Pipe from

Taiwan; Preliminary Results of Changed

Circumstances Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review, April 7, 1998,

(63 FR 16982).

The Department, in accordance with

19 CFR 351.222, will instruct the U.S.

Customs Service (Customs) to proceed

with liquidation, without regard to

antidumping duties, of all unliquidated

entries of WSSP manufactured by Chang

Mien, exported to the United States and

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption, on or after November

1, 1993, the effective date of the

absorption of Chang Tieh by Chang

Mien.

The Department will further instruct

Customs to refund with interest any

estimated duties collected with respect

to unliquidated entries of such WSSP

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after November

1, 1993, in accordance with section 778

of the Act.

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 CFR 353.34(d). Timely written

notification of 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. Timely written

notification of the return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

This changed circumstances

administrative review and notice are in

accordance with sections 751(b) and (d)

and 782(h) of the Tariff Act and sections
34148 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 120 /Tuesday, June 23, 1998 / Notices

351.216(d) and 351.222(g) of the

Department’s regulations.
