notice as an Appendix. Parties can find

a complete discussion of all issues

raised in the briefs and the

corresponding recommendations in this

public memorandum which is on file in

the Central Records Unit, room B–099 of

the main Department building. In

addition, a complete version of the

Decision Memo can be accessed directly

on the Web at http://ia.ita.doc.gov. The

paper copy and electronic version of the

Decision Memo are identical in content.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

Based on the use of additional

publicly available information and the

comments received from the interested

parties, we have made changes in the

margin calculation for the one

respondent that cooperated fully in the

new shipper review. For a discussion of

this change, see the ‘‘Margin

Calculations’’ section of the Decision

Memo.

Final Results of New Shipper Review

We determine that the following

weighted-average margin percentage

exists for the period April 1, 1999,

through March 31, 2000:

Exporter Margin

(percent)

Hongfa Machinery (Dalian) Co.,

Ltd ......................................... 0.00

Assessment Rates

The Department shall determine, and

the Customs Service shall assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. In accordance with 19 CFR

351.106(c)(2), we will instruct the

Customs Service to liquidate without

regard to antidumping duties all entries

of subject merchandise during the POR

from Hongfa for which the importspecific assessment rate is zero or de

minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent). In

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b), we

have calculated importer-specific ad

valorem duty assessment rates. We will

direct the Customs Service to assess the

resulting percentage margin against the

entered Customs values for the subject

merchandise on each of that importer’s

entries under the relevant order during

the review period. For entries from the

PRC non-market economy (‘‘NME’’)

entity companies (i.e., PRC exporters

which are not entitled separate rates

(including Luoyang), the Customs

Service shall assess ad valorem duties at

the PRC-wide rate. Because the PRCwide entity was not reviewed during

this POR, the PRC-wide rate remains the

rate which was established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation. For entries

made by PRC companies for which the

Department has rescinded the

administrative review (i.e., the exporter/

producer combinations listed in the

‘‘Background’’ section of this notice),

the Customs Service shall continue not

to assess ad valorem duties on those

entries made by those exporter/producer

combinations.

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following deposit rates shall be

required for merchandise subject to the

order entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption on or after

the publication date of these final

results, as provided by section 751(a)(1)

and 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act: (1) The cash

deposit rate for Hongfa will be the rate

indicated above; (2) the cash deposit

rate for PRC exporters who received a

separate rate in a prior segment of the

proceeding, but for whom the

Department has rescinded the review or

of whom the review was not requested

for this POR will continue to be the rate

assigned in that segment of the

proceeding; (3) the cash deposit rate for

the PRC NME entity (i.e., all other

exporters, including Luoyang, which

have not been reviewed) will continue

to be 43.32 percent; and (4) the cash

deposit rate for non-PRC exporters of

subject merchandise from the PRC will

be the rate applicable to the PRC

supplier of that exporter. These deposit

requirements shall remain in effect until

publication of the final results of the

next administrative review.

This notice also serves as a final

reminder to importers of their

responsibility under 19 CFR

351.402(f)(2) 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 doubled antidumping duties.

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.

Timely written notification of the

return/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 this

determination and notice in accordance

with sections section 751(a)(1),

751(a)(2)(B), and 777(i) of the Act and

19 CFR 351.213 and 351.214.

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 citations

to the Department’s regulations are

references to the provisions codified at

19 CFR part 351 (2000).

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.

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 1999/

2000 review period on November 8,

2000 (65 FR 66965). Respondents

TUNA, Procarsa, and Hylsa S.A. de C.V.

(‘‘Hylsa’’) requested that the Department

conduct an administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on circular

welded non-alloy steel pipe and tube

from Mexico. Hylsa withdrew its

request for administrative review on

December 19, 2000. We initiated this

review for respondents TUNA and

Procarsa on January 31, 2001. See 66 FR

8378.

The Department received timely

requests for withdrawal from the

administrative review from TUNA on

February 23, 2001, and from Procarsa on

March 9, 2001. The applicable

regulation, 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), states

that the Secretary will rescind an

administrative review under this

section, in whole or in part, if a party

that requested a review withdraws the

request within 90 days of the date of

publication of notice of initiation of the

requested review. In light of the fact that

all of the parties who initially requested

an administrative review have

withdrawn their requests in a timely

manner, we are rescinding this review.

This notice is published in

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Dated: April 26, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act) are to the provisions

effective January 1, 1995, the effective

date of the amendments made to the Act

by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.

In addition, unless otherwise indicated,

all citations to the Department of

Commerce’s (the Department’s)

Background

On October 30, 2000, the Department

published a notice of initiation of the

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on Stainless

Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Italy,

covering the period January 4, 1999

through June 30, 2000 (65 FR 64662).

On January 8, 2001, the Department

extended the preliminary results of

review by 90 days. See Notice of

Extension of the Time Limit for

Preliminary Results of Antidumping

Duty Administrative Review: Stainless

Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils From

Italy, 66 FR 1310 (January 8, 2001). The

preliminary results are currently due no

later than July 1, 2001.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary

Results

Because of the complex issues

enumerated in the Memorandum from

Edward C. Yang to Joseph A. Spetrini,

Extension of Time Limit for the

Preliminary Results of Administrative

Review of Certain Stainless Steel Sheet

and Strip in Coils from Italy, dated May

9, 2001, and on file in the Central

Records Unit (CRU) of the Main

Commerce Building, Room B–099, we

find that it is not practicable to

complete the preliminary results of this

review by the scheduled deadline.

Therefore, in accordance with section

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department

is further extending the time period for

issuing the preliminary results of review

by 30 days (i.e., until July 31, 2001).

Dated: May 9, 2001.
