Certain Circular Welded Carbon Steel

Pipes and Tubes From Thailand:

Amended Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review in Accordance With Decision

on Remand

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Amended final results of

antidumping duty administrative review

in accordance with decision on remand.

SUMMARY: On August 26, 1992, the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) published in the Federal

Register the final results of the second

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on certain

circular welded carbon steel pipes and

tubes from Thailand. The review

covered the period March 1, 1988

through February 28, 1989.

On February 14, 1995, the Court of

International Trade (‘‘CIT’’) issued an

order, in the case of Saha Thai Steel

Pipe Co., Ltd. v. United States, Slip Op.

95–21 (CIT 1995), remanding to the

Department the final results of the

second administrative review of Saha

Thai Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. (‘‘Saha Thai’’).

The Department issued its remand

results on May 3, 1995, and its final

calculations on June 21, 1995. On

August 2, 1995, the CIT affirmed the

Department’s redetermination (Slip Op.

95–139). Since the CIT’s ruling was not

appealed, and the CIT decision

affirming our redetermination has

become final and conclusive within the

meaning of section 516A(e) of the Tariff

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), we

are amending our final results of the

second administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on certain

circular welded carbon steel pipes and

tubes from Thailand with respect to

Saha Thai.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 11, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Scope of the Review

Imports covered by the review are

shipments of certain circular welded

carbon steel pipes and tubes with an

outside diameter of 0.375 inch or more,

but not exceeding 16 inches. These

products, which are commonly referred

to in the industry as ‘‘standard pipe’’ or

‘‘structural tubing,’’ are hereinafter

designated as ‘‘pipe and tube.’’ Pipe and

tube is currently classifiable under item

numbers 7306.30.1000, 7306.30.5025,

7306.30.5032, 7306.30.5040,

7306.30.5055, 7306.30.5085, and

7306.30.5090 of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule (‘‘HTS’’). These item numbers

are provided for convenience and

customs purposes only. The written

product description remains dispositive.

This review covers shipments made

by Saha Thai Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. (‘‘Saha

Thai’’) from Thailand to the United

States during the period March 1, 1988

through February 28, 1989.

Background

On August 26, 1992, the Department

of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)

published in the Federal Register the

final results of the second

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on certain

circular welded carbon steel pipes and

tubes from Thailand (57 FR 38668)

(‘‘Final Results’’). The review covered

shipments of this merchandise from

Thailand to the United States during the

period March 1, 1988, through February

28, 1989, by Saha Thai.

On February 14, 1995, the Court of

International Trade (‘‘CIT’’) issued an

order, in the case of Saha Thai Steel

Pipe Co., Ltd. v. United States, Slip Op.

95–21 (CIT 1995), remanding to the

Department the final results of the

second antidumping duty

administrative review of Saha Thai. The

CIT ordered the Department ‘‘to clearly

set forth the criteria used in its Final

Results and to provide a reasonable

explanation for any departure from

established criteria if necessary, the

facts used, and the conclusions reached

in light of those criteria and facts.’’ The

Department having done so as reported

in its remand results dated May 31,

1995, and final calculations dated June

21, 1995 (together referred to as the

‘‘remand results’’), the CIT, on August 2,

1995, affirmed the remand results (Slip

Op. 95–139).

Amended Final Results of the Review

As a result of our recalculations, we

have determined that a weightedaverage dumping margin of 0.46 percent

ad valorem exists for certain circular

welded carbon steel pipes and tubes

sold by Saha Thai during the period

beginning on March 1, 1988 and ending

on February 28, 1989. The dumping

margin is de minimis.

Because the CIT’s ruling affirming our

redetermination has become final and

conclusive, within the meaning of

section 516A(e) of the Act, the

Department will instruct the U.S.

Customs Service immediately to lift the

suspension of liquidation and also to

assess antidumping duties on entries

subject to this review, as appropriate.

The Department will issue appraisement

instructions directly to the U.S. Customs

Service.

This notice serves as a final reminder

to importers of their responsibility

under 19 CFR 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.

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 353.34(d) of the

Department’s regulations. Timely

notification of return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and the terms of an APO is a

sanctionable violation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 25, 1992, the Department

published in the Federal Register the

final results of its administrative review

of the antidumping finding on electric

golf carts from Poland, (57 FR 10334).

As a result of clerical errors, we

amended the final results of review on

April 29, 1992 (57 FR 18129). The

weighted-average margin in the

amended final results was 2.91 percent.

The review covered two manufacturers/

exporters, Melex USA, Inc. and Pezetel,

Ltd. (collectively referred to as Melex),

and the period July 1, 1976 through June

10, 1980.

On August 25, 1995, the CIT

remanded to the Department the final

results of its administrative review of

the antidumping finding on electric golf

carts from Poland, Melex USA, et al. v.

United States, Court No. 92–04–00298,

Slip Op 96–58.

In its remand instructions, the CIT

directed the Department to: (1) Apply

the methodologies of the Antidumping

Act of 1921 (the 1921 Act) to

unliquidated entries made prior to the

effective dates of the Trade Agreements

Act of 1979 and the Trade and Tariff Act

of 1984; (2) reevaluate the applicability

of credit expense as a component of the

constructed value calculation in light of

the CIT’s decision to apply the 1921

Act; and (3) use Melex’s four-wheel cost

differential data to determine the cost of

four-wheel golf cars. Slip Op. at 20.

On February 12, 1996, the Department

filed its results of redetermination

pursuant to the CIT’s remand. As a

result of the remand instructions from

the CIT, the antidumping margin for

Melex on redetermination changed to

0.33 percent.

On March 22, 1996, the CIT affirmed

the Department’s results of the remand

redetermination and dismissed the case.

Melex USA, et al. v. United States, Court

No. 92–04–00298, Slip Op 96–58.

Pursuant to the CIT’s order of March

22, 1996, the Department is hereby

amending the final results of

administrative review. The Department

shall determine, and the Customs

Service shall assess, antidumping duties

on all entries made during the period of

review. The Department will instruct

the U.S. Customs Service to collect the

antidumping duty applicable.

Individual differences between U.S.

price and foreign market value may vary

from the percentage stated above. The

Department will issue appraisement

instructions directly to the U.S. Customs

Service.

This notice is in accordance with

section 516A of the Tariff Act of 1930

as amended.

Dated: June 4, 1996.
