Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 247 / Thursday, December 27, 2007 / Notices 73321 

Pursuant to section 773(a)(6)(C)(iii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.410(c), we 

deducted comparison market direct 

selling expenses (i.e., credit expenses) 

and added U.S. direct selling expenses 

(i.e., credit expenses). In accordance 

with sections 773(a)(6)(A) and (B) of the 

Act, we deducted comparison market 

packing costs and added U.S. packing 

costs. We made an adjustment to NV to 

account for differences in physical 

characteristics of the merchandise, in 

accordance with section 773(a)(6)(C)(ii) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.411(a). We 

based this adjustment on the difference 

in the variable costs of manufacturing 

for the foreign like product and subject 

merchandise. See 19 CFR 351.411(b). 

See C&A Preliminary Analysis Memo. 

Currency Conversion 

In accordance with sections 773A(a) 

of the Act, we made currency 

conversions based on the official 

exchange rates in effect on the dates of 

the U.S. sales as certified by the Federal 

Reserve Bank of New York. See also 19 

CFR 351.415. 

Preliminary Results of New Shipper 

Review 

As a result of our review, we 

preliminarily determine that the 

following percentage margin exists for 

C&A for the period July 1, 2006, through 

December 31, 2006: 

Manufacturer/Exporter Margin 

C & A Products Co., 

Ltd. ............................ 0.00 % 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

the new shipper review, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: 1) the 

cash deposit rate for C&A (i.e., for 

subject merchandise both manufactured 

and exported by C&A) will be that 

established in the final results of this 

review, except if the rate is less than 

0.50 percent, and therefore, de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; 2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not participating in this 

review, 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 these reviews 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) the cash deposit 

rate for all other manufacturers or 

exporters will continue to be the all–

others rate established in the LTFV 

investigation. These requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Assessment Rate 

Upon completion of the new shipper 

review, the Department shall determine, 

and CBP shall assess, antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212. The 

Department intends to issue assessment 

instructions for C&A directly to CBP 15 

days after the date of publication of the 

final results of this new shipper review. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we 

will calculate an importer–specific 

assessment rate on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of antidumping 

duties calculated for the examined sales 

and the total entered value of the 

examined sales. We will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review if the importer–specific 

assessment rate calculated in the final 

results of this review is above de 

minimis (i.e., at or above 0.50 percent). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate without 

regard to antidumping duties any 

entries for which the assessment rate is 

zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 

percent). See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1). 

The final results of this review shall 

be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review. 

Disclosure and Public Hearing 

The Department will disclose to 

parties the calculations performed in 

connection with these preliminary 

results within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice. See 19 CFR 

351.224(b). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309, 

interested parties may submit cases 

briefs not later than 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised 

in the case briefs, may be filed not later 

than 5 days after the deadline for filing 

the case briefs. Parties who submit case 

briefs or rebuttal briefs in this 

proceeding are requested to submit with 

each argument: 1) a statement of the 

issue; 2) a brief summary of the 

argument; and 3) a table of authorities. 

Interested parties who wish to request 

a hearing or to participate if one is 

requested must submit a written request 

to the Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration, Room B–099, within 30 

days of the date of publication of this 

notice. Requests should contain: 1) the 

party’s name, address and telephone 

number; 2) the number of participants; 

and 3) a list of issues to be discussed. 

See 19 CFR 351.310(c). Issues raised in 

the hearing will be limited to those 

raised in the case and rebuttal briefs. 

The Department will issue the final 

results of this review, including the 

results of its analysis of issues raised in 

any written briefs, within 90 days of 

publication of these preliminary results, 

unless the final results are extended. 

See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 

19 CFR 351.213(h). 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

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 double antidumping duties. 

This new shipper review is issued 

and published in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act, as well as 19 CFR 351.214(i).

DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–0408 

and (202) 482–0649, respectively. 

Background 

On October 29, 2002, the Department 

published in the Federal Register an 

antidumping duty order on carbon and 

certain alloy steel wire rod (steel wire 

rod) from Canada. See Notice of 

Amended Final Determination of Sales 

at Less Than Fair Value and 

Antidumping Duty Order: Carbon and 

Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from 

Canada, 67 FR 65944 (October 29, 2002) 

(Order). 

On October 1, 2007, the Department 

issued a notice of opportunity to request 

an administrative review of this order 

for the October 1, 2006 through 

September 30, 2007 period of review. 

See Antidumping or Countervailing 

Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation; Opportunity to Request 

Administrative Review, 72 FR 55741 

(October 1, 2007). Administrative 

reviews were requested for Ivaco Rolling 

Mills 2004 (formerly Ivaco Rolling Mills 

L.P.), Sivaco Ontario, a division of 

Sivaco Wire Group 2004 L.P. (formerly 

Ivaco, Inc.), and Mittal Canada Inc. 

(formerly Ispat Sidbec Inc.). On 

November 26, 2007, the Department 

initiated a review of these companies. 

See Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 72 FR 65938 (November 26, 2007). 

Rescission in Part, of Administrative 

Review 

The applicable regulation, 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), states that if a party that 

requested an administrative review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review, the 

Secretary will rescind the review in 

whole or in part. Mittal Canada Inc. 

(formerly Ispat Sidbec Inc.) made a 

timely withdrawal of its request for an 

administrative review within the 90-day 

deadline. Because no other party 

requested an administrative review of 

that company, we are rescinding the 

review with regard to Mittal Canada Inc. 

(formerly Ispat Sidbec Inc.). 

The Department intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions 

directly to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) 15 days after the 

publication of this notice. The 

Department will direct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties for this company at 

the cash deposit rate in effect on the 

date of entry for entries during the 

period October 1, 2006, to September 

30, 2007. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

section 351.402(f) of the Department’s 

regulations to file a certificate regarding 

the reimbursement of antidumping 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this period of 

time. Failure to comply with this 

requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and subsequent assessment of 

double antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with section 351.305(a)(3) of the 

Department’s regulations. 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 terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 351.213(d)(4) of 

the Department’s regulations and 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

We initiated a countervailing duty 

investigation on light-walled rectangular 

pipe and tube (‘‘LWRP’’) from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). See 

Notice of Initiation of Countervailing 

Duty Investigation: Light-Walled 

Rectangular Pipe and Tube from the 

People’s Republic of China, 72 FR 40281

December 3, 2007, Zhangjiagang 

Zhongyuan Pipe-making Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘ZZPC’’) filed a timely allegation of a 

significant ministerial error contained in 

the Department’s Preliminary 

Determination. After reviewing the 

allegation, we have determined that the 

Preliminary Determination included a 

significant ministerial error. Therefore, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

we have made changes, as described 

below, to the Preliminary 

Determination. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise that is the subject of 

this investigation is certain welded 

carbon-quality light-walled steel pipe 

and tube, of rectangular (including 

square) cross section (LWR), having a 

wall thickness of less than 4mm. 

The term carbon-quality steel 

includes both carbon steel and alloy 

steel which contains only small 

amounts of alloying elements. 

Specifically, the term carbon-quality 

includes products in which none of the 

elements listed below exceeds the
