Certain Malleable Cast Iron Pipe

Fittings From Brazil; Preliminary

Results of Antidumping Administrative

Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Preliminary Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review.

SUMMARY: In response to requests from

petitioners, Grinnell Corporation, Ward

Manufacturing Inc., and Stockham

Valves and Fittings Co., the Department

of Commerce (the Department) is

conducting an administrative review of

the antidumping duty order on certain

malleable cast iron pipe fittings from

Brazil. This review covers Industria de

Fundicao Tupy S.A. (Tupy), a

manufacturer and exporter of this

merchandise to the United States, and

the period May 1, 1993 through April

30, 1994. The firm failed to submit a

response to our questionnaire. As a

result, we have preliminarily

determined to use the best information

otherwise available (BIA) for cash

deposit and assessment purposes.

We invite interested parties to

comment on these preliminary results.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 22, 1995.

Rimlinger, Office of Antidumping

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On May 4, 1994, the Department

published in the Federal Register (59

FR 23051) a notice of ‘‘Opportunity to

Request an Administrative Review’’ of

the antidumping duty order on certain

malleable cast iron pipe fittings from

Brazil. On May 4, 1994, we received

from the petitioners in this case,

Grinnell Corporation, Ward

Manufacturing Inc., and Stockham

Valves and Fittings Co., a request to

initiate an administrative review of

Tupy, a manufacturer and exporter of

this merchandise to the United States.

On July 15, 1994, in accordance with

CFR 353.22(c), we initiated an

administrative review of this order for

Tupy covering the period May 1, 1993

through April 30, 1994 (see 59 FR

36160).

The Department is now conducting

this administrative review in

accordance with section 751 of the

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the

Tariff Act).

Scope of Review

Imports covered by this review are

shipments of certain malleable cast iron

pipe fittings, other than grooved, from

Brazil. In the original order, these

products were classifiable in the Tariff

Schedules of the United States,

Annotated, under item numbers

610.7000 and 610.7400. These products

are currently classifiable under item

numbers 7307.19.00 and 7307.19.90 of

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS).

The HTS item numbers are provided for

convenience and Customs purposes.

The written description remains

dispositive.

Best Information Available

In accordance with section 776(c) of

the Tariff Act, we have preliminarily

determined that the use of BIA is

appropriate for Tupy. The Department’s

regulations provide that we may take

into account whether a party refuses to

provide information (19 CFR 353.37(b))

in selecting BIA. Generally, whenever a

company refuses to cooperate with the

Department or otherwise significantly

impedes the proceeding, the Department

uses as BIA the highest rate for any

company for the same class or kind of

merchandise from the current or any

prior segment of the proceeding. When

a company substantially cooperates

with our requests for information, but

fails to provide all the information

requested in a timely manner or in the

form requested, we use as BIA the

higher of (1) the highest rate (including

the ‘‘all others’’ rate) ever applicable to

the firm for the same class or kind of

merchandise from the same country

from either the less-than-fair-value

(LTFV) investigation or a prior

administrative review; or (2) the highest

calculated rate in the review for any

firm for the same class or kind of

merchandise from the same country. See

Antifriction Bearings (Other Than

Tapered Roller Bearings) and Parts

Thereof From the Federal Republic of

Germany, et al.; Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review, 56 FR 31692, 31704 (July 11,

1991); see also Allied-Signal Aerospace

Co. v. United States 996 F.2d 1185 (Fed.

Cir. 1993).

Because Tupy refused to respond to

our requests for information (see letter

from the law firm of Sonnenberg,

Anderson, & Rodriguez to the

Department dated October 31, 1994), we

have used the highest rate ever found in

this proceeding to establish its margin.

This rate is 5.64 percent.

Preliminary Results of Review

We preliminarily determine the

margin for this administrative review to

be:

Producer/exporter Margin

Industria de Fundicao Tupy S.A. ...... 5.64

Parties to the proceeding may request

disclosure within 5 days and interested

parties may request a hearing not later

than 10 days after publication of this

notice. Interested parties may submit

written arguments in case briefs on

these preliminary results within 30 days

of the date of publication of this notice.

Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised

in case briefs, may be filed no later than

7 days after the time limit for filing case

briefs. Any hearing, if requested, will be

held 7 days after the scheduled date for

submission of rebuttal briefs. Copies of

case briefs and rebuttal briefs must be

served on interested parties in

accordance with 19 CFR 353.38(e).

Representatives of parties to the

proceeding may request disclosure of

proprietary information under

administrative protective order no later

than 10 days after the representative’s

client or employer becomes a party to

the proceeding, but in any event not

later than the date the case briefs, under

19 CFR 353.38(c), are due. The

Department will publish the final

results of this administrative review,

including the results of its analysis of

issues raised in any case or rebuttal brief

or at a hearing.

Upon completion of the final results

in this review, the Department shall

determine, and the Customs Service
9822 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 22, 1995 / Notices

shall assess, antidumping duties on all

appropriate entries. Individual

differences between U.S. price and

foreign market value may vary from the

percentages stated above. The

Department will issue appraisement

instructions on each exporter directly to

the Customs Service.

Furthermore, the following 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

this administrative review, as provided

for by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act:

(1) The cash deposit rates for the

reviewed company will be the rate

established in the final results of this

review; (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

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) for all other

producers and/or exporters of this

merchandise, the cash deposit rate shall

be 5.64 percent, the adjusted ‘‘all

others’’ rate from the LTFV

investigation. These deposit

requirements, when imposed, shall

remain in effect until publication of the

final results of the next administrative

review.

This notice also serves as a

preliminary reminder to importers of

their responsibility under 19 C.F.R.

353.26 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.

These administrative reviews and

notice are in accordance with section

751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C.

1675(a)(1) and section 353.22 of the

Department’s regulations (19 CFR

353.22(c)(5)).
