SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The International Trade 

Administration provides a multitude of 

international trade related programs to 

help U.S. businesses. These programs 

include information products, services, 

and trade events. To accomplish its 

mission effectively, ITA needs ongoing 

feedback on its programs. This 

information collection item allows ITA 

to solicit clients’ opinions about the use 

of ITA products, services, and trade 

events. To promote optimal use and 

provide focused and effective 

improvements to ITA programs, we are 

requesting approval for this clearance 

package; Including: Use of Comment 

Cards (i.e. transactional-based surveys) 

to collect feedback immediately after 

ITA assistance is provided to clients; 

use of annual surveys (i.e. relationshipbased surveys) to gauge overall 

satisfaction, impact and needs for 

clients with ITA assistance provided 

over a period time; use of multiple data 

collection methods (i.e. web-enabled 

surveys sent via email, telephone 

interviews, automated telephone 

surveys, and in-person surveys via 

mobile devices/laptops/tablets at trade 

events/shows) to enable clients to 

conveniently respond to requests for 

feedback; and a forecast of burden 

hours. Without this information, ITA is 

unable to systematically determine the 

actual and relative levels of performance 

for its programs and products/services 

and to provide clear, actionable insights 

for managerial intervention. This 

information will be used for program 

evaluation and improvement, strategic 

planning, allocation of resources and 

stakeholder reporting. 

II. Method of Collection 

The International Trade 

Administration is seeking approval for 

the following data collection methods to 

provide flexibility in conducting 

customer satisfaction surveys and to 

reduce the burden on respondents: (1) 

An email message delivering a hot link 

to a web enabled survey with an email 

reminder sent if the client does not 

respond to the survey within two weeks; 

(2) a telephone survey/interview; (3) an 

automated telephone survey for callers 

to 1–800–USA–TRADE so callers can 

immediately respond without having to 

provide their email address; and (4) a 

web-enabled survey conducted inperson at trade shows/events via a 

laptop, tablet or mobile phone so 

participants can immediately respond 

without having to provide their email 

address. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0625–XXX. 

Form Number(s): ITA–XXXXP. 

Type of Review: Regular submission; 

new information collection; generic 

clearance. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit 

institutions; State, Local, or Tribal 

government; and Federal government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

30,000. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5–20 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 5,000 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $200,000. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review; 2012–2013 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On April 24, 2014, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published the preliminary 

results of the administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on circular 

welded carbon steel pipes and tubes 

from Thailand.1 This review covers two 

producers and/or exporters of the 

subject merchandise, Saha Thai Steel 

Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd. (Saha 

Thai), and Pacific Pipe Company 

Limited (Pacific Pipe). The period of 

review (POR) is March 1, 2012, through 

February 28, 2013. The Department 

received comments from interested 

parties. For the final results, we find 

that Saha Thai has not sold subject 

merchandise at less than normal value 

(NV), and we continue to find that 

Pacific Pipe had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR. 

DATES: Effective Date: October 28, 2014.

7See Antidumping Duty Order: Circular Welded 

Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes From Thailand, 51 

FR 8341 (March 11, 1986). 

The Department conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the 

antidumping order are certain circular 

welded carbon steel pipes and tubes 

from Thailand.2 The subject 

merchandise has an outside diameter of 

0.375 inches or more, but not exceeding 

16 inches. The merchandise is 

classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

item numbers 7306.30.1000, 

7306.30.5025, 7306.30.5032, 

7306.30.5040, 7306.30.5055, 

7306.30.5085 and 7306.30.5090. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and purposes 

of U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP), the written description of the 

merchandise subject to the order is 

dispositive. A full description of the 

scope of the order is contained in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

which is hereby adopted by this notice. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

For the final results of this review, we 

continue to find that Pacific Pipe had no 

shipments during the POR.3

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties to this review 

are addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of issues that 

parties raised and to which we respond 

in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is attached to this notice 

as an Appendix. The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(IA ACCESS). IA ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

iaaccess.trade.gov, and is available to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

Room 7046 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

The signed Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

versions of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record as 

well as comments received from parties 

regarding the Preliminary Results, we 

made two revisions to Saha Thai’s 

margin calculation for the final results. 

We (1) used Saha Thai’s most up-to-date 

cost of production file, and (2) adjusted 

Saha Thai’s duty drawback amount so 

that the amount added to export price 

is consistent with the amount added to 

Saha Thai’s calculated cost of 

production.4

Final Results of Review 

As a result of our review, we 

determine the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the 

period March 1, 2011, through February 

29, 2012. 

Producer/exporter 

Weighted-average 

dumping margin 

(percent) 

Saha Thai Steel Pipe 

(Public) Company, 

Ltd ............................. 0.00 

Pacific Pipe Company 

Limited ....................... (*) 

* No shipments or sales subject to this review. The firm has an individual rate from the 

last segment of the proceeding in which the 

firm had shipments or sales. 

Assessment Rates 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2) and the Final Modification 

for Reviews,5 the Department will 

instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate 

entries for Saha Thai without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003.6 This clarification applies 

to entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by Saha Thai for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States. In 

such instances, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction. 

Consistent with the Assessment Policy 

Notice, because we continue to find that 

Pacific Pipe had no shipments of subject 

merchandise to the United States, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate all 

applicable entries of merchandise 

produced by Pacific Pipe and exported 

by other parties at the rate for the 

intermediate reseller, if available, or at 

the all-others rate. 

We intend to issue instructions to 

CBP 15 days after publication of the 

final results of this review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the notice of final results 

of administrative review for all 

shipments of circular welded carbon 

steel pipes and tubes from Thailand 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided by section 

751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit 

rate for Saha Thai will be 0.00 percent, 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review; (2) for Pacific 

Pipe and previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed above, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published for 

the most recently completed segment of 

this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not 

a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the less than fair value 

(LTFV) investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, then the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate established for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the manufacturer of the 

merchandise; and (4) if neither the 

exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm 

covered in this or any previous review 

or the LTFV investigation, then the cash 

deposit rate will be the ‘‘all-others’’ rate 

of 15.67 percent established in the LTFV 

investigation.7 These deposit rates, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notifications 

This notice serves as a final 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 


asabaliauskas on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
64172 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 208 / Tuesday, October 28, 2014 / Notices 

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 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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. 

The Department is issuing and 

publishing these final results of 

administrative review in accordance 

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

the Act.

was first chartered on May 31, 1994. 

ETTAC serves as an advisory body to 

the Environmental Trade Working 

Group of the Trade Promotion 

Coordinating Committee (TPCC), 

reporting directly to the Secretary of 

Commerce (Secretary) in his/her 

capacity as Chair of the TPCC. ETTAC 

advises on the development and 

administration of programs to expand 

U.S. exports of environmental 

technologies, goods, and services.

The Secretary will appoint at least 

one individual representing each of the 

following: 

a. Environmental businesses, 

including small businesses;

the States; and 

e. Other appropriate interested 

members of the public, including labor 

representatives. 

Nominees will be evaluated based 

upon their ability to carry out the 

objectives of the Committee. ETTAC’s 

current Charter is available at http://
