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

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.

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.
