From Mexico: Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of

antidumping duty administrative review

of circular welded non-alloy steel pipe

from Mexico.

SUMMARY: On December 12, 2000, the

Department of Commerce

(‘‘Department’’) published the

preliminary results of the administrative

review of the antidumping duty order

on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe

from Mexico. See Circular Welded NonAlloy Steel Pipe From Mexico:

Preliminary Results and Partial

Recission of Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review, 65 FR 77560

(December 12, 2000) (‘‘Preliminary

Results’’). This review covers one

manufacturer/exporter of the subject

merchandise, Tuberia Nacional S.A. de

C.V. (‘‘TUNA’’). The period of review

(‘‘POR’’) is November 1, 1998 through

October 31, 1999.

We gave interested parties an

opportunity to comment on the

preliminary results. Based upon our

verification of the data and analysis of

the comments received, we have made

changes in the margin calculation.

Therefore, the final results differ from

the preliminary results of this review.

The final weighted-average dumping

margin is listed below in the section

titled ‘‘Final Results of the Review.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930

(‘‘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 citations to the

Department’s regulations are to the

regulations at 19 CFR part 351 (1999).

Background

The Department published an

antidumping duty order on circular

welded non-alloy steel pipe and tube

from Mexico on November 2, 1992 (57

FR 49453). The Department published a

notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request an

Administrative Review’’ of the

antidumping duty order for the 1998/99

review period on November 16, 1999

(64 FR 62167). Respondents TUNA and

Hylsa S.A. de C.V. (‘‘Hylsa’’), as well as

petitioners, requested that the

Department conduct an administrative

review of the antidumping duty order

on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe

and tube from Mexico. We initiated this

review on December 21, 1999. See 64 FR

72644 (December 28, 1998).

The Department received a timely

request for withdrawal from the

administrative review from the

respondent Hylsa on March 15, 2000.

On March 22, 2000, petitioners also

withdrew their request for a review of

Hylsa. In accordance with 19 CFR

351.213(d)(1), the Department

terminated this review for respondent

Hylsa. See Preliminary Results.

Under section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act,

the Department may extend the

deadline for issuing a preliminary

determination in an administrative

review if it determines that it is not

practicable to complete the preliminary

review within the statutory time limit of

245 days. On August 11, 2000, the

Department published a notice of

extension of the time limit for the

preliminary results in this case to

November 29, 2000. See Extension of

Time Limit: Circular Welded Non-Alloy

Pipe From Mexico; Antidumping

Administrative Review, 65 FR 49223

(August 11, 2000).

We gave interested parties an

opportunity to comment on our

Preliminary Results. TUNA and

petitioners filed briefs on January 11

and January 12, 2001. On January 16,

2001, TUNA and petitioners filed

rebuttal briefs. No hearing was

requested or held.

Period of Review

The review covers the period

November 1, 1998 through October 31,

1999. The Department is conducting

this review in accordance with section

751 of the Act.

Scope of the Review

The products covered by these orders

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

these orders, 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 United

States as line pipe of a kind used for oil

or gas pipelines is also not included in

these orders.

Imports of the products covered by

these orders 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.

Analysis of Comments Received

All issues raised in the case briefs, as

well as the Department’s findings, in

this administrative review are addressed

in the Issues and Decision

Memorandum for the Administrative

Review of Circular Welded Non-Alloy

Steel Pipe From Mexico: November 1,

1998, through October 31, 1999

(‘‘Decision Memorandum’’), from Joseph

A. Spetrini, Deputy Assistant Secretary,

Import Administration, to Bernard T.

Carreau, Deputy Assistant Secretary,

Import Administration (April 11, 2001),

which is hereby adopted by this notice.

A list of the issues raised and to which

we have responded, all of which are in

the Decision Memorandum, and a list of

our changes, is attached to this notice as

an Appendix. 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 at the

U.S. Department of Commerce, in the

Central Records Unit, in room B–099. In

addition, a complete version of the

Decision Memorandum can be accessed

directly on the Web at http://

ia.ita.doc.gov. The paper copy and

electronic version of the public version

of the Decision Memorandum are

identical in content.

Sales Below Cost in the Home Market

As discussed in more detail in the

Preliminary Results, the Department

disregarded home market below-cost

sales that failed the cost test in the final

results of review.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

Based on our verification and analysis

of the comments received, we have

made certain changes in the margin

calculation, as discussed in the Decision

Memorandum. We have corrected our

calculation of U.S. indirect selling

expenses (‘‘DINDIRSU’’), made changes

to our level of trade analysis, adjusted

our cost calculations with respect to the

B10 inflation adjustment, and

consolidated the reported G&A expenses

for TUNA.

Final Results of the Review

We determine that the following

percentage weighted-average margin

exists for the period November 1, 1998

through October 31, 1999:

Weightedaverage

margin

(percent)

TUNA ........................................ 3.48

The Department shall determine, and

the U.S. Customs Service (‘‘Customs’’)

shall assess, antidumping duties on all

appropriate entries. In accordance with

19 CFR 351.212(b), we have calculated

exporter/importer-specific assessment

rates by dividing the total dumping

margins calculated for the U.S. sales to

the importer by the total entered value

of these sales. This rate will be used for

the assessment of antidumping duties

on all entries of the subject merchandise

by that importer during the POR. The

Department’s decision applies to all

entries of subject merchandise produced

and exported by TUNA, entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after November 1,

1998 and on or before October 31, 1999.

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following deposit requirements

will be effective upon publication of

this notice of final results of

administrative review for all shipments

of circular welded non-alloy steel pipe

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after the date of

publication, as provided by section

751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit

rate for TUNA will be the rate shown

above; (2) 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; (3) if the

exporter is not a firm covered in this

review, a prior review, or the original

less-than-fair-value (‘‘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; and (4) if neither the

exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm

covered in these or any previous

reviews conducted by the Department,

the cash deposit rate will be the ‘‘all

others’’ rate, which is 36.62 percent.

These deposit requirements shall

remain in effect until publication of the

final results of the next administrative

review.

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 19 CFR

351.305 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 this

determination and notice in accordance

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the

Act.

The Applicable Statute and Regulations

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 Act)

by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act

(URAA). In addition, unless otherwise

indicated, all citations to Department of

Commerce (the Department) regulations

refer to the regulations codified at 19

CFR part 351 (2000).

Background

This investigation was initiated on

October 10, 2000. See Initiation of

Antidumping Duty Investigation:

Foundry Coke Products From the

People’s Republic of China, 65 FR 61303

(October 17, 2000). The period of

investigation (POI) is January 1, 2000

through June 30, 2000. On March 8,

2001, the Department published the

notice of preliminary determination. See

Notice of Preliminary Determination of

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Foundry

Coke From the People’s Republic of

China, 66 FR 8338 (March 8, 2001).

Postponement of Final Determination

and Extension of Provisional Measures

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides

that a final determination may be

postponed until not later than 135 days

after the date of the publication of the

preliminary determination if, in the

event of an affirmative determination, a

request for such postponement is made

by exporters who account for a

significant proportion of exports of the

subject merchandise, or in the event of

a negative preliminary determination, a

request for such postponement is made

by petitioner. The Department’s

regulations, at 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2),

require that requests by respondents for

postponement of a final determination

be accompanied by a request for

extension of provisional measures from

a four-month period to not more than

six months.

In a March 12, 2001 request which

was thereafter amended on April 10,

2001, Shanxi Grand Coalchem

Industrial Company, Ltd., Sinochem

International, CITIC Trading Company

Ltd. and Minmetals Development Co.

Ltd. (‘‘respondents’’), requested that the

Department postpone its final

determination until not later than 135

days after the date of the publication of

the preliminary determination in the

Federal Register and requested an

extension of the provisional measures.

See Notice of the Preliminary

Determination of Sales at Less Than

Fair Value, 66 FR 13855 (March 8,

2001). In accordance with 19 CFR

351.210(b), because (1) our preliminary

determination is affirmative, (2)

respondents requesting the

postponement account for a significant

proportion of exports of the subject

merchandise, and (3) no compelling

reasons for denial exist, we are granting

the respondent’s request and are

postponing the final determination until

no later than 135 days after the

publication of preliminary

determination in the Federal Register.
