Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings from 

the People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Expedited Sunset Review of 

Antidumping Duty Order. 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 10, 2009 

SUMMARY: On November 3, 2008, the 

Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) initiated a sunset 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on malleable cast iron pipe fittings from 

the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). 

On the basis of a notice of intent to 

participate, and an adequate substantive 

response from domestic interested 

parties, as well as a lack of response 

from respondent interested parties, the 

Department conducted an expedited 

(120-day) sunset review. As a result of 

the sunset review, the Department finds 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

order would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping. 

The dumping margins are identified in 

the Final Results of Review section of 

this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 3, 2008, the Department 

published the notice of initiation of the 

sunset review of the antidumping duty 

order on malleable cast iron pipe fittings 

(‘‘MCP’’) from the PRC pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (‘‘the Act’’). See Initiation 

of Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 73 FR 

65292 (November 3, 2008). On 

November 11, 2008, the Department 

received a notice of intent to participate 

from domestic interested parties, Anvil 

International, Inc. and Ward 

Manufacturing, Inc. (collectively 

‘‘domestic interested parties’’), within 

the deadline specified in section 

351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Department’s 

regulations. The domestic interested 

parties claimed interested party status 

under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as 

domestic producers of MCP in the 

United States. On December 2, 2008, the 

Department received a substantive 

response from the domestic interested 

parties within the deadline specified in 

section 351.218(d)(3)(i) of the 

Department’s regulations. The 

Department did not receive a response 

from any respondent interested parties 

to this proceeding. As a result, pursuant 

to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 

section 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) of the 

Department’s regulations, the 

Department determined to conduct an 

expedited review of the order. See 

Memorandum to the File titled, 

‘‘Adequacy Determination: Sunset 

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order 

on Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings 

from the People’s Republic of China,’’ 

dated January 13, 2009. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the 

antidumping duty order are certain 

malleable iron pipe fittings, cast, other 

than grooved fittings, from the PRC. The 

merchandise is classified under item 

numbers 7307.19.90.30, 7307.19.90.60 

and 7307.19.90.80 of the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule (HTSUS). Excluded 

from the scope of the order are metal 

compression couplings, which are 

imported under HTSUS number 

7307.19.90.80. A metal compression 

coupling consists of a coupling body, 

two gaskets, and two compression nuts. 

These products range in diameter from 

1/2 inch to 2 inches and are carried only 

in galvanized finish. Although HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

Department’s written description of the 

scope of this proceeding is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this review are 

addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision 

Memorandum’’ (‘‘Decision 

Memorandum’’) from John M. 

Andersen, Acting Deputy Assistant 

Secretary for Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Operations, to 

Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting Assistant 

Secretary for Import Administration, 

dated concurrently with this notice, and 

is hereby adopted by this notice. The 

issues discussed in the Decision 

Memorandum include the likelihood of 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and the magnitude of the margins likely 

to prevail if the order were revoked. 

Parties can find a complete discussion 

of all issues raised in this review and 

the corresponding recommendations in 

this public memorandum, which is on 

file in the Central Records Unit in room 

1117 of the main Commerce building.

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Final Results of Review 

Pursuant to section 752(c) of the Act, 

we determine that revocation of the 

antidumping duty order on MCP from 

the PRC would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

at the following weighted–average 

percentage margins: 

Exporter/Manufacturer Margin(percent) 

Beijing Sai Lin Ke Hardware Co. Ltd. (‘‘SLK’’) 15.92 

Langfang Pannext Pipe 

Fitting Co., Ltd. ......... 7.35 

Chengde Malleable Iron 

General Factory 

(‘‘Chengde’’) .............. 11.18 

SCE Co., Ltd. (‘‘SCE’’) 11.18 

Jinan Meide Casting 

Co., Ltd. .................... 11.31 

PRC–Wide .................... 111.36 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective orders 

(‘‘APO’’) of their responsibility 

concerning the return or destruction of 

proprietary information disclosed under 

APO in accordance with section 351.305 

of the Department’s regulations. Timely 

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 APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

We are issuing and publishing the 

results and notice in accordance with 

sections 751(c), 752(c), and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act.
