1Melamine is also known as 2,4,6-triamino-striazine; l,3,5-Triazine-2,4,6-triamine; 

Cyanurotriamide; Cyanurotriamine; Cyanuramide; 

and by various brand names. 

CFR 351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed 

on the record by the Department; and (v) 

evidence other than factual information 

described in (i)–(iv). The final rule 

requires any party, when submitting 

factual information, to specify under 

which subsection of 19 CFR 

351.102(b)(21) the information is being 

submitted and, if the information is 

submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct 

factual information already on the 

record, to provide an explanation 

identifying the information already on 

the record that the factual information 

seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The 

final rule also modified 19 CFR 351.301 

so that, rather than providing general 

time limits, there are specific time limits 

based on the type of factual information 

being submitted. These modifications 

are effective for all proceeding segments 

initiated on or after May 10, 2013, and 

thus are applicable to these 

investigations. Interested parties should 

review the final rule, available at 

http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/

1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to 

submitting factual information in these 

investigations. 

Revised Extension of Time Limits 

Regulation 

On September 20, 2013, the 

Department modified its regulation 

concerning the extension of time limits 

for submissions in AD and CVD 

proceedings.35 The modification 

clarifies that parties may request an 

extension of time limits before a time 

limit established under Part 351 expires, 

or as otherwise specified by the 

Secretary. In general, an extension 

request will be considered untimely if it 

is filed after the time limit established 

under Part 351 expires. For submissions 

which are due from multiple parties 

simultaneously, an extension request 

will be considered untimely if it is filed 

after 10:00 a.m. on the due date. 

Examples include, but are not limited 

to: (1) Case and rebuttal briefs, filed 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; (2) factual 

information to value factors under 19 

CFR 351.408(c), or to measure the 

adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR 

351.511(a)(2), filed pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal, clarification 

and correction information filed 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) 

comments concerning the selection of a 

surrogate country and surrogate values 

and rebuttal; (4) comments concerning 

CBP data; and (5) quantity and value 

questionnaires. Under certain 

circumstances, the Department may 

elect to specify a different time limit by 

which extension requests will be 

considered untimely for submissions 

which are due from multiple parties 

simultaneously. In such a case, the 

Department will inform parties in the 

letter or memorandum setting forth the 

deadline (including a specified time) by 

which extension requests must be filed 

to be considered timely. This 

modification also requires that an 

extension request must be made in a 

separate, stand-alone submission, and 

clarifies the circumstances under which 

the Department will grant untimelyfiled requests for the extension of time 

limits. These modifications are effective 

for all segments initiated on or after 

October 21, 2013, and thus are 

applicable to these investigations. 

Interested parties should review 

Extension of Time Limits; Final Rule, 

available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/

pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/2013- 

22853.htm, prior to submitting factual 

information in these investigations. 

Certification Requirements 

Any party submitting factual 

information in an AD or CVD 

proceeding must certify to the accuracy 

and completeness of that information.36

Parties are hereby reminded that revised 

certification requirements are in effect 

for company/government officials, as 

well as their representatives. 

Investigations initiated on the basis of 

petitions filed on or after August 16, 

2013, and other segments of any AD or 

CVD proceedings initiated on or after 

August 16, 2013, should use the formats 

for the revised certifications provided at 

the end of the Final Rule.37 The 

Department intends to reject factual 

submissions if the submitting party does 

not comply with the applicable revised 

certification requirements. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

Interested parties must submit 

applications for disclosure under APO 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. On 

January 22, 2008, the Department 

published Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Documents Submission Procedures; 

APO Procedures, 73 FR 3634 (January 

22, 2008). Parties wishing to participate 

in these investigations should ensure 

that they meet the requirements of these 

procedures (e.g., the filing of letters of 

appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 

351.103(d)). 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to sections 702 and 777(i) of 

the Act.

Appendix I—Scope of the 

Investigations 

The merchandise subject to these 

investigations is melamine (Chemical 

Abstracts Service (‘‘CAS’’) registry number 

108–78–01, molecular formula C3H6N6).1

Melamine is a crystalline powder or granule 

typically (but not exclusively) used to 

manufacture melamine formaldehyde resins. 

All melamine is covered by the scope of 

these investigations irrespective of purity, 

particle size, or physical form. Melamine that 

has been blended with other products is 

included within this scope when such blends 

include constituent parts that have been 

intermingled, but that have not been 

chemically reacted with each other to 

produce a different product. For such blends, 

only the melamine component of the mixture 

is covered by the scope of these 

investigations. Melamine that is otherwise 

subject to these investigations is not 

excluded when commingled with melamine 

from sources not subject to these 

investigations. Only the subject component 

of such commingled products is covered by 

the scope of these investigations. 

The subject merchandise is provided for in 

subheading 2933.61.0000 of the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS 

subheading and CAS registry number are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope is dispositive.

1See Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and 

Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 79392 

(December 30, 2013). 

2While the Department initiated an 

administrative review of Productos Laminados and 

Prolamsa, Inc. separately, record information 

indicates that Prolamsa, Inc. is a wholly-owned U.S. 

subsidiary of Productos Laminados, and is an 

importer, and not a producer, of subject 

merchandise. 

3The Department has determined that Lamina is 

the successor-in-interest to TUNA. See Notice of

7Prolamsa, Inc. (a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary 

of Productos Laminados which is an importer, and 

not a producer, of subject merchandise—see 

footnote 1), made no entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR. See the Memorandum from Davina 

Hashmi to Richard Weible, Director, AD/CVD 

Operations Office VI, entitled, ‘‘Administrative 

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain

8See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 5. 

the antidumping duty order on certain 

circular welded non-alloy steel pipe 

from Mexico.1 This administrative 

review originally covered eight entities: 

Productos Laminados de Monterrey, 

S.A. de C.V. (Productos Laminados), 

Prolamsa, Inc.,2 Conduit S.A. de C.V. 

(Conduit); Ternium Mexico, S.A. de 

C.V. (Ternium); Tuberia Nacional, S.A.

Mueller Comercial de Mexico, S. de R.L. 

de C.V. (Mueller); and PYTCO, S.A. de 

C.V. (PYTCO). All requests for 

administrative review of Conduit, 

TUNA, Lamina, Ternium, Mueller, and 

PYTCO were timely withdrawn, and we 

are consequently rescinding this 

administrative review, in part, with 

respect to these six companies. The sole 

mandatory respondent is Productos 

Laminados. The period of review (POR) 

is August 1, 2012, through July 31, 2013. 

We preliminarily find that Productos 

Laminados made sales at prices below 

normal value (NV) during the POR. We 

invite interested parties to comment on 

these preliminary results. 

DATES: Effective Date: December 9, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

circular welded non-alloy steel pipes 

and tubes, of circular cross-section, not 

more than 406.4 millimeters (16 inches) 

in outside diameter, regardless of wall 

thickness, surface finish (black, 

galvanized, or painted), or end finish 

(plain end, beveled end, threaded, or 

threaded and coupled). The 

merchandise covered by the order and 

subject to this review is currently 

classified in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

at subheadings: 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 customs 

purposes, our written description of the 

scope of this proceeding is dispositive. 

A full description of the scope of the 

order is contained in the Memorandum 

from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant 

Secretary for Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul 

Piquado, Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance, 

‘‘Decision Memorandum for Preliminary 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review: Certain Circular 

Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from 

Mexico,’’ (Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum), dated concurrently with 

this notice, which is hereby adopted by 

this notice.4

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). Constructed export 

price is calculated in accordance with 

section 772 of the Act. NV is calculated 

in accordance with section 773 of the 

Act. For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

The Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov 5 and in the 

Central Records Unit, Room 7046 of the 

main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/

index.html. The signed and electronic 

versions of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Preliminary Results of the Review 

We preliminarily determine for the 

period November 1, 2012, through 

October 31, 2013, the following 

weighted-average dumping margin 

exists: 

Exporter or producer 

Weightedaverage dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Productos Laminados de 

Monterrey, S.A. de 

C.V./Aceros Cuatro 

Caminos, S.A. de 

C.V.6 6.31 

Scope Inquiry 

The Department is conducting a scope 

inquiry to determine whether certain 

types of black, circular tubing produced 

to American Society for Testing and 

Materials standard A–513 by Productos 

Laminados may be outside the scope of 

the Order because they meet the 

exclusion for ‘‘mechanical tubing.’’ 

Parties are notified that the final results 

of the scope inquiry may affect the final 

results of this administrative review by 

decreasing the number of reported sales. 

Partial Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 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 

publication of notice of initiation of the 

requested review. All requests for 

review by all parties, except those of 

Productos Laminados and Prolamsa, 

Inc.,7 were timely withdrawn.8

Accordingly, we rescind the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

circular welded non-alloy steel pipe 

from Mexico covering the period 

November 1, 2012, through October 31,

Disclosure and Public Comment 

The Department intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with these 

preliminary results within five days of 

the date of publication of this notice.9

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

no 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 no later than 

five days after the date for filing case 

briefs.10 Parties who submit case briefs 

or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) A statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument; 

and (3) a table of authorities.11 Case and 

rebuttal briefs should be filed using 

ACCESS.12

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

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 

Enforcement and Compliance, filed 

electronically via ACCESS. An 

electronically filed document must be 

received successfully in its entirety by 

the Department’s electronic records 

system, ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern 

Standard Time within 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice.13

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. Issues 

raised in the hearing will be limited to 

those raised in the respective case 

briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, 

parties will be notified of the date and 

time of the hearing to be held at the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230. 

The Department intends to issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of its 

analysis of the issues raised in all 

written case briefs, within 120 days after 

the date of publication of this notice, 

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, the Department 

shall determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries.14 If the weighted-average 

dumping margin for Productos 

Laminados/Aceros Cuatro Caminos is 

not zero or de minimis in the final 

results of this review, we will calculate 

importer-specific assessment rates on 

the basis of the ratio of the total amount 

of dumping duties calculated for an 

importer’s examined sales and the total 

entered value of such sales in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 

If the weighted-average dumping margin 

for Productos Laminados/Aceros Cuatro 

Caminos is zero or de minimis in the 

final results of review, we will instruct 

CBP not to assess duties on any of its 

entries in accordance with the Final 

Modification for Reviews, i.e., ‘‘{w}here 

the weighted-average margin of 

dumping for the exporter is determined 

to be zero or de minimis, no 

antidumping duties will be assessed.’’ 15

As noted above, the Department has 

rescinded this administrative review for 

Conduit, TUNA, Lamina, Ternium, 

Mueller, and PYTCO. For these 

exporters and/or producers, the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate all appropriate entries as 

entered. 

We intend to issue instructions to 

CBP 41 days after publication of the 

final results of this review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of the 

notice of final results of administrative 

review for all shipments of circular 

welded non-alloy steel pipe from 

Mexico entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication of the final 

results of this administrative review, as 

provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: 

(1) The cash deposit rate for Productos 

Laminado/Aceros Cuatro Caminos will 

be the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative review except if the 

rate is de minimis within the meaning 

of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case 

the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

merchandise exported by manufacturers 

or exporters not covered in this review 

but covered in a prior segment of the 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding in 

which the manufacturer or exporter 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original less-than-fairvalue investigation but the manufacturer 

is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment of the proceeding 

for the manufacturer of the 

merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate 

for all other manufacturers or exporters 

will continue to be 32.62 percent ad 

valorem, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.16 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 

Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Dated: December 1, 2014.
