Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe

and Tube From Mexico: Final Results

of Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of amended final results

of antidumping duty administrative

review.

SUMMARY: On June 17, 1998, the

Department of Commerce (the

Department) published the final results

of its administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on circular

welded non-alloy steel pipe from

Mexico covering exports of this

merchandise to the United States by one

manufacturer/exporter, Hylsa S.A. de

C.V. (‘‘Hylsa’’) during the period

November 1, 1995 through October 31,

1996. See Circular Welded Non-Alloy

Steel Pipe and Tube from Mexico: Final

Results of Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review, 63 FR 33041.

The Department has since determined

that the published weighted-average

dumping margin was incorrect and is

therefore amending the final results of

review for Hylsa.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 16, 1998.

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act) are references to the

provisions effective January 1, 1995, the

effective date of the amendments made

to the Act by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act (URAA). In addition,

unless otherwise indicated, all

references to the Department’s

regulations are to 19 CFR Part 353 (April

1, 1997).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 17, the Department published

the final results of its administrative

review of the antidumping duty order

on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe

from Mexico covering exports of this

merchandise to the United States by

Hylsa during the period November 1,

1995 through October 31, 1996. This

notice stated that the weighted-average

dumping margin for Hylsa was 8.31

percent. After these final results were

published, the Department determined

that, as a result of a clerical error, the

8.31 percent figure included in that

notice was incorrect. See Memorandum

to the File, July 7, 1998 (Analysis

Memo). The final results should have

indicated that the weighted-average

dumping margin for Hylsa is 7.39

percent.

Scope of the Review

The products covered by this order

are circular welded non-alloy steel

pipes and tubes, of circular crosssection, not more than 406.4 millimeters

(16 inches) in outside diameter,

regardless of wall thickness, surface

finish (black, galvanized, or painted), or

end finish (plain end, beveled end,

threaded, or threaded and coupled).

These pipes and tubes are generally

known as standard pipes and tubes and

are intended for the low pressure

conveyance of water, steam, natural gas,

and other liquids and gases in plumbing

and heating systems, air conditioning

units, automatic sprinkler systems, and

other related uses, and generally meet

ASTM A–53 specifications. Standard

pipe may also be used for light loadbearing applications, such as for fence

tubing, and as structural pipe tubing

used for framing and support members

for reconstruction or load-bearing

purposes in the construction,

shipbuilding, trucking, farm equipment,

and related industries. Unfinished

conduit pipe is also included in these

orders.

All carbon steel pipes and tubes

within the physical description outlined

above are included within the scope of

this order, except line pipe, oil country

tubular goods, boiler tubing, mechanical

tubing, pipe and tube hollows for

redraws, finished scaffolding, and

finished conduit. Standard pipe that is

dual or triple certified/stenciled that

enters the U.S. as line pipe of a kind

used for oil or gas pipelines is also not

included in this order.

Imports of the products covered by

this order are currently classifiable

under the following Harmonized Tariff

Schedule (HTS) subheadings:

7306.30.10.00, 7306.30.50.25,

7306.30.50.32, 7306.30.50.40,

7306.30.50.55, 7306.30.50.85, and

7306.30.50.90.

Although the HTS subheadings are

provided for convenience and customs

purposes, our written description of the

scope of these proceedings is

dispositive.

The period of review (POR) is

November 1, 1995 through October 31,

1996. This review covers sales of

circular welded non-alloy steel pipe and

tube by Hylsa.

Amended Final Results of Review

We determine that the correct

weighted-average margin for Hylsa is

7.39 percent for the period November 1,

1995 through October 31, 1996.

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. Individual differences

between U.S. price and normal value

may vary from the percentages stated

above. 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 amended

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

amended cash deposit rate for Hylsa

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

Amendment to Final Determination of

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 CFR § 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 CFR § 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.

These amended final results of

administrative review and notice are in

accordance with § 751(a)(1) of the Act

(19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR

§ 353.28.

Certain Pasta From Italy; Notice of

Extension of Time Limit for New

Shipper Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 16, 1998.

telephone (202) 482–5288 or 482–1777,

respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March

4, 1998, the Department of Commerce

(the Department) initiated a new

shipper review relating to the

antidumping duty order on certain pasta

from Italy, covering the period July 1,

1997, through December 31, 1997 (63 FR

10590). Therefore, the current deadline

for the preliminary results of this new

shipper review is August 31, 1998.

Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires

the Department to make a preliminary

determination within 180 days after the

date on which the new shipper review

was initiated. However, when the

Department determines a case is

extraordinarily complicated, it may

extend the 180-day period to 300 days,

19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), (62 FR 27296,

27396 (1997)).

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of

the Act, the Department has determined

that this case is extraordinarily

complicated given the complex nature

of the issues involved in the concurrent

administrative review of this proceeding

and activities connected with the

judicial remand of the Department’s

final determination in the investigation

of Certain Pasta from Italy. See Borden,

Inc. v. US, Slip Op. 98–36 (March 26,

1998). Thus, in accordance with the

statutory and regulatory authority cited

above, the Department is extending the

deadline for issuing the preliminary

results of this new shipper review by 30

days to no later than September 30,

1998. We plan to issue the final results

within 90 days after the date the

preliminary results are issued.

This extension is in accordance with

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.

Dated: July 9, 1998.

Administration.
