Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 214 / Friday, November 5, 2010 / Notices 68325 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR part 351, in general. See 

Initiation Notice. We received no 

response from the domestic industry by 

the deadline date. See 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(i). As a result, the 

Department has determined that no 

domestic party intends to participate in 

the sunset reviews. See 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(iii)(A). On September 21, 

2010, the Department notified the 

International Trade Commission in 

writing that we intended to issue a 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

orders. See 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(2). 

Revocation 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), 

if no domestic interested parties 

respond to a notice of initiation, the 

Department shall, within 90 days after 

the initiation of the review, revoke the 

order. Because no domestic interested 

party filed a notice of intent to 

participate in any of the reviews, the 

Department finds that no domestic 

interested party is participating in the 

reviews. Thus, we are revoking the 

orders on certain stainless steel buttweld pipe fittings from Japan, South 

Korea and Taiwan. 

Effective Date of Revocation 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(3)(A) and 

751(c)(6)(A)(iii) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.222(i)(2)(i), the Department will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection to terminate the suspension 

of liquidation of the merchandise 

subject to these orders entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, on or after 

October 20, 2010, the fifth anniversary 

of the date of publication of the last 

continuation notice. Entries of subject 

merchandise prior to the effective date 

of revocation will continue to be subject 

to suspension of liquidation and 

antidumping and deposit requirements. 

The Department will complete any 

pending administrative reviews of these 

orders and will conduct administrative 

reviews of subject merchandise entered 

prior to the effective date of revocation 

in response to appropriately-filed 

requests for review. 

This five-year (‘‘sunset’’) review and 

this notice are in accordance with 

section 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Federal Register of September 30, 2010, 

ITA published a notice for request for 

comments with a 30-day comment 

period. The Agency received and 

considered requests for an extension of 

the comment period and extended the 

comment period for 30 days until 

November 29, 2010. The text of the 

original notice appears below. 

The Department of Commerce invites 

public input and participation in 

shaping government programs for 

protecting the intellectual property 

rights of U.S. businesses, including 

Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises 

(SMEs), in foreign markets. As 

evidenced by the launch of the 

President’s National Export Initiative, 

improving U.S. Government support for 

U.S. business in overseas markets is an 

Administration priority. Unfortunately, 

American exporters face various barriers 

to entry in overseas markets including 

barriers related to intellectual property 

rights. 

In coordination with the Intellectual 

Property Enforcement Coordinator 

(‘‘IPEC’’) and to implement certain 

action items in the 2010 Joint Strategic 

Plan on Intellectual Property 

Enforcement submitted to Congress by 

the IPEC, the Department of Commerce 

is conducting a comprehensive review 

of existing U.S. Government efforts to 

educate, guide, and provide resources to 

U.S. businesses that are: 

1. Acquiring intellectual property 

rights in foreign markets; 

2. Contemplating exporting 

intellectual property-based products or 

choosing markets for export; 

3. Actively entering foreign markets or 

facing difficulties entering foreign 

markets; or 

4. Encountering difficulties enforcing 

their intellectual property rights in 

foreign markets. 

The goal of the review is to improve 

efforts to support U.S. businesses facing 

barriers related to intellectual property 

rights protection and enforcement in 

overseas markets. 

The Department of Commerce is 

hereby requesting written submissions 

from the public. In responding, please 

consider the questions and information 

requests posed below, but do not limit 

comments to these areas. 

1. Describe your level of familiarity 

with intellectual property rights in 

general and intellectual property rights 

in foreign markets in particular. 

2. Identify specific challenges 

businesses, including SMEs, face in 

protecting their intellectual property 

rights abroad. 

3. In what countries or regions do 

businesses need the most assistance 

protecting their intellectual property 

rights? In responding please prioritize 

any countries identified. 

4. Which specific types of intellectual 

property (copyrights, trademarks, 

patents, trade secrets) present the most 

challenges to SMEs? Should U.S. 

government programs focus on specific 

areas of intellectual property protection? 

5. Suggest particular outreach, 

programs or assistance that the 

government can provide that would 

help U.S. businesses overcome those 

challenges. 

6. Describe your familiarity with or 

use of current U.S. Government services 

and tools related to IPR protection and 

enforcement in foreign markets, and 

assess their usefulness and/or gaps. 

7. Assess the adequacy of the 

intellectual property resources, tools, 

services and programs that the U.S. 

government currently provides to SMEs. 

8. What specific outreach formats 

(e.g., conferences, webinars, 

publications, podcasts) work best for 

educating U.S. businesses on how to 

protect their IPR abroad? 

9. Identify specific existing programs 

provided by the U.S. Government or 

governments of other countries that 

have been particularly effective at 

assisting U.S. businesses with protecting 

their intellectual property rights in 

foreign markets (including, if possible, 

specific examples illustrating the 

effectiveness of those methods). 

10. Identify specific existing programs 

involving cooperation between 

stakeholders and the U.S. Government 

(or between stakeholders and other 

governments) that have been 

particularly effective at assisting SMEs 

with the protection of their IP in foreign 

markets. 

11. What additional role(s) should the 

government play in assisting businesses 

with the protection of their intellectual 

property rights abroad? 

12. Identify additional resources and 

tools the U.S. Government could 

provide to support SMEs as they enforce 

their intellectual property rights in 

foreign markets. 

13. Identify the most effective and 

efficient ways to inform U.S. businesses 

of new and existing government 

offerings that support U.S. businesses in 

their efforts to protect their intellectual 

property abroad. 

14. In a recent report by the 

International Trade Commission, 

combining resources through trade 

associations or through less formal 

groups was one strategy SMEs suggested 

to reduce trade barriers. Describe ways 

the government can support SMEs as 

they pool resources to combat 

infringement abroad. 

It is difficult to overstate the value of 

intellectual property rights (IPR) to 

innovation, investment and economic 

development for U.S. businesses. 

Intellectual property rights are also 

critical to our small and medium-sized 

enterprises (SMEs). The U.S. Chamber 

of Commerce 1 estimates that IPintensive industries employ 18 million 

Americans, and the Small Business 

Administration has estimated that SMEs 

alone employ half of Americans and 

account for 65 percent 2 of new jobs.

Main Street, Customers Around the World’’ event 

hosted by USTR 01–21–10. 

The theft of IP from SMEs is a serious 

matter, as it stifles innovation, slows 

economic growth, weakens the 

competitiveness of U.S. employers, and 

threatens American jobs. Intellectual 

property theft at the hands of foreign 

companies, consumers, and even 

governments, has an adverse impact on 

all IP-based innovation and economic 

success. SMEs are particularly 

vulnerable because they are at a distinct 

disadvantage when confronting these 

difficulties in foreign markets. The 

Department of Commerce’s priorities 

include ensuring that intellectual 

property remains a viable driver or 

innovation, and that our IP-based 

industries can compete effectively in the 

international marketplace. Commerce 

Bureaus, namely the U.S. Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO) and the 

International Trade Administration 

(ITA), work alongside the IPEC and the 

agencies involved in intellectual 

property rights enforcement to help 

businesses secure and enforce 

intellectual property rights at home and 

abroad. 

To educate and assist all businesses, 

and SMEs in particular, the Department 

of Commerce has developed a number 

of IPR tools and resources. ITA, on 

behalf of U.S. intellectual property 

agencies, launched a Web site in 2004 

(http://www.stopfakes.gov) to provide 

updates and links to Executive Branch 

IPR programs. On the Web site, there are 

additional resources for businesses such 

as an online IPR tutorial, which is 

available in three languages, countryspecific IPR toolkits and links to other 

resources such as the American Bar 

Association’s International IP Advisory 

Program. The site also allows businesses 

to file complaints about IPR-related 

trade problems, which are answered by 

a trade specialist from ITA. The 

Department of Commerce also 

established the 1–866–999–HALT 

hotline answered by PTO IPR experts, 

who work with ITA’s Office of 

Intellectual Property Rights (OIPR) to 

help businesses secure and enforce their 

IPR through international treaties. 

Though this list is non-exhaustive, U.S. 

agencies recognize that there may be 

additional government tools and 

support on IPR protection and 

enforcement that could assist U.S. 

exporters.

SUMMARY: In response to requests from 

interested parties, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) initiated an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

welded carbon steel standard pipes and 

tubes from India. The period of review 

is May 1, 2009, through April 30, 2010. 

As a result of withdrawal of the requests 

for review, the Department is rescinding 

this review. 

DATES: Effective Date: November 5, 

2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 30, 2010, and in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(g) and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(1), we published a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on certain 

welded carbon steel standard pipes and 

tubes from India. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Requests 

for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 37759 

(June 30, 2010). Based on various 

requests for review, we initiated reviews 

of Lloyds Group and all affiliates 

(including but not limited to Lloyds 

Metals & Engineers Ltd. and Lloyds 

Steel Industries Ltd.) (collectively, 

Lloyds) and Ushdev International Ltd. 

Rescission of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), the Department will 

rescind an administrative review, ‘‘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. The Secretary may 

extend this time limit if the Secretary 

decides that it is reasonable to do so.’’ 

On October 14, 2010, the U.S. Steel 

Corporation withdrew its request for a 

review of the order with respect to 

Lloyds and Ushdev International Ltd. 

Lloyds withdrew its request for review 

on October 18, 2010. Although the 

parties submitted letters withdrawing 

their review requests after the 90-day 

regulatory deadline, the Department 

finds it is reasonable to extend the 

deadline for withdrawing review 

requests because it has not yet devoted 

significant time or resources to the 

review. 

Because we received no other requests 

for review of Lloyds, we are rescinding 

the administrative review of the order 

with respect to Lloyds Group and all 

affiliates, Lloyds Metals & Engineers 

Ltd., and Lloyds Steel Industries Ltd. 

Because we received no other requests 

for review of Ushdev International Ltd., 

we are also rescinding the review with 

respect to Ushdev International Ltd. 

This rescission is in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(1). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection 15 days after publication of 

this notice. 

Notifications 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 Department’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning destruction of 

proprietary information disclosed under 

an APO in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.305(a)(3). Timely written 

notification of the destruction of APO 

materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested.
