# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On May 2, 2001, the Department published its preliminary results in the                     **Federal Register**                     (                    *see Certain Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from the Republic of Korea; Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review*, 66 FR 21910) (“                    *Preliminary Results*                    ”), preliminarily finding Hyundai Hysco to be the successor-in-interest to Hyundai Pipe Company, Ltd. (“HDP”). No comments were received regarding these findings.                 

## Scope of the Review 

The merchandise subject to this review is circular welded non-alloy steel pipe and tube, of circular cross-section, not more than 406.4mm (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, air, and other liquids and gases in plumbing and heating systems, air-conditioning units, automatic sprinkler systems, and other related uses. Standard pipe may also be used for light load-bearing applications, such as for fence tubing, and as structural pipe tubing used for framing and as support members for reconstruction or load-bearing purposes in the construction, shipbuilding, trucking, farm equipment, and other related industries. Unfinished conduit pipe is also included in this order. 

                    All carbon-steel pipes and tubes within the physical description outlined above are included within the scope of this review except line pipe, oil country tubular goods, boiler tubing, mechanical tubing, pipe and tube hollows for redraws, finished scaffolding, and finished conduit. In accordance with the Department's                     *Final Negative Determination of Scope Inquiry on Certain Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe and Tube from Brazil, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, and Venezuela*, 61 FR 11608 (March 21, 1996), pipe certified to the API 5L line-pipe specification and pipe certified to both the API 5L line-pipe specifications and the less-stringent ASTM A-53 standard-pipe specifications, which falls within the physical parameters as outlined above, and entered as line pipe of a kind used for oil and gas pipelines is outside of the scope of the antidumping duty order.                 

Imports of these products are currently classifiable under the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTSUS”) 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 HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and Customs Service purposes, our written description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive. 

## Successorship and Final Results of Review 

                    Because we received no comments on the preliminary results, for the reasons stated in the                     *Preliminary Results*                     and based on the facts on the record, we find Hyundai Hysco to be the successor to HDP for antidumping duty cash deposit purposes.                 

                    Therefore, Hyundai Hysco will be assigned HDP's cash deposit rate of 2.64 percent                     *ad valorem*. This cash deposit requirement will be effective upon publication of this notice of final results of changed circumstances review for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date. This cash deposit rate shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next administrative review.                 

This determination is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 353.221(c)(4). 

Dated: May 29, 2001.
