Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is seamless pipe from 

Russia. For a complete description of 

the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

We did not receive comments from 

interested parties on the Preliminary 

Scope Decision Memorandum.3 As 

discussed in the Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce 

codified the scope language as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice to 

clarify certain exclusions. See the scope 

in Appendix I to this notice. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties in this 

investigation are discussed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. A list of 

topics included in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is included as 

Appendix II to this notice. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of an on-site verification to verify 

the information relied upon in making 

this final determination, in accordance 

with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).4

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we have made no 

changes to the margin calculations for 

TMK. For a complete discussion, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

provides that the estimated all-others 

rate shall be an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. 

Commerce calculated an individual 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for TMK, the only individually 

examined exporter/producer in this 

investigation. Because the only 

individually calculated dumping margin 

is not zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts otherwise available, the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin calculated for TMK is the margin 

assigned to all other producers and 

exporters, pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Final Determination 

The final estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins are as follows: 

Exporter/producer 

Estimated 

weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

PAO TMK and Volzhsky Pipe 

Plant Joint Stock Company 

(collectively, TMK) ................... 209.72 

All Others .................................... 209.72 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed for this final determination 

within five days of any public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will direct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all entries of seamless 

pipe from Russia, as described in 

Appendix I of this notice, which were 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after February 10, 

2021, the date of publication of the 

affirmative Preliminary Determination 

in the Federal Register. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will 

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit as 

follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the 

respondents listed above will be equal 

to the company-specific estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

determined in this final determination; 

(2) if the exporter is not a company 

identified above, but the producer is, 

then the cash deposit rate will be equal 

to the company-specific estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established for that producer of the 

subject merchandise; and (3) the cash 

deposit rate for all other producers and 

exporters will be equal to the all-others 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin. These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of the final 

affirmative determination of sales at 

LTFV. Because Commerce’s final 

determination is affirmative, in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will make its final 

determinations as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports, or 

sales (or the likelihood of sales) for 

importation of seamless pipe from 

Russia no later than 45 days after our 

final determination. If the ITC 

determines that such injury does not 

exist, these proceedings will be 

terminated, and all cash deposits will be 

refunded. If the ITC determines that 

such injury does exist, Commerce will 

issue an antidumping duty order 

directing CBP to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, antidumping 

duties on all imports of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the effective date of the suspension 

of liquidation, as discussed above in the 

‘‘Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation’’ section. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written 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 the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(c).

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on March 18, 

2021 during a 60-day comment period. 

This notice allows for an additional 30 

days for public comments. 

Agency: International Trade 

Administration, Department of 

Commerce. 

Title: Survey of International Air 

Travelers (SIAT). 

OMB Control Number: 0625–0227. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Number of Respondents: 300,000. 

Average Hours per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 75,000. 

Needs and Uses: The Survey of 

International Air Travelers (SIAT) 

program, administered by the National 

Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO) of 

the International Trade Administration 

provides source data required to: (1) 

Estimate international travel and 

passenger fare exports, imports, and the 

trade balance for the United States, (2) 

comply with the U.S. Travel Promotion 

Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–145), collect, 

analyze, and report information to the 

Corporation for Travel Promotion (CTP), 

and support U.S. exports, (3) comply 

with the 1945, 1961, 1981, and 1996 

travel and tourism related acts to collect 

and publish comprehensive 

international travel and tourism 

statistics and other marketing 

information, and (4) support the 

continuation of the Travel & Tourism 

Satellite Accounts for the United States, 

which provide the only spending and 

employment figures for the industry. 

The SIAT program contains the core 

data that is analyzed and communicated 

by NTTO with other government 

agencies, associations and businesses 

that share the same objective of 

increasing U.S. international travel 

exports. The SIAT assists NTTO in 

assessing the economic impact of 

international travel on state and local 

economies, providing visitation 

estimates, key market intelligence, and 

identifying traveler and trip 

characteristics. The U.S. Department of 

Commerce assists travel industry 

enterprises to increase international 

travel and passenger fare exports for the 

country as well as outbound travel on 

U.S. carriers. The Survey program 

provides the only available estimates of 

nonresident visitation to the states and 

cities within the United States, as well 

as U.S. resident travel abroad. The SIAT 

also assists NTTO in producing in-depth 

statistical reports, fact sheets and 

briefings on economic factors and policy 

issues affecting U.S. industries. With the 

SIAT statistical data not replicable by 

private sector trade associations or by 

private firms, Federal agencies, 

Congress and international 

organizations rely on these statisticbased tools, as do American businesses, 

state and local governments, and news 

organizations. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; International air travelers 

departing the United States, 18 years or 

older which includes U.S. and non-U.S. 

residents from all countries.
