performance, graduation rates, and 

school finance policy—all of which 

require the collection and use of this 

local education finance data collection. 

State legislatures, local leaders, 

university researchers, and parents 

increasingly rely on data to make 

substantive decisions about education. 

School district finance is a vital sector 

of the education data spectrum used by 

stakeholders to form policy and to 

develop new education strategies. 

The education finance data collected 

and processed by the Census Bureau are 

an essential component of the 

government finances program and 

provide unique products for education 

and finance data user groups. The 

Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) 

uses most of the items on Form F–33 to 

develop figures for the Gross Domestic 

Product. Reported F–33 data items 

specifically contribute to the estimates 

for National Income and Product 

Accounts (NIPA), and the Input-Output 

accounts (I–O), and gross domestic 

investments. BEA also uses the data to 

assess other public fiscal spending 

trends and events. 

The Census Bureau’s government 

finances program has made possible the 

dissemination of comprehensive and 

comparable public fiscal data since 

1902. School finance data, which 

comprise nearly 30 percent of all local 

government general expenditures, are 

currently incorporated into the local 

government statistics released in the 

Annual Survey of Government Finance. 

The Census Bureau expects to release 

school finance data as part of its 2007 

Census of Governments products. This 

table package contains benchmark 

statistics on public revenue, 

expenditure, debt, and assets. They are 

widely used by economists, legislators, 

social and political scientists, and 

government administrators. 

The Census Bureau makes available a 

detailed account for all school systems 

on files available from its Internet Web 

site. That Web site currently contains 

data files and statistical tables for the 

1992 through 2006 fiscal year surveys. 

Historical files and publications prior to 

1992 are also available upon request for 

data users engaged in longitudinal 

studies. In addition to numerous 

academic researchers who use the F–33 

products, staff receive inquiries from 

State government officials, legislatures, 

public policy analysts, local school 

officials, non-profit organizations, and 

various Federal agencies. 

The U.S. Department of Education’s 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES) jointly conducts this survey 

annually as part of the Common Core of 

Data (CCD) program. The education 

finance data collected by the Census 

Bureau are the sole source of school 

district fiscal information for the CCD. 

NCES data users utilize electronic tools 

to search CCD databases for detailed 

fiscal and non-fiscal variables. 

Additionally, the NCES uses the F–33 

education finance files to publish 

annual reports on the state of education.

Certain Welded Carbon Steel Pipe and 

Tube from Turkey: Notice of Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On February 9, 2009, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published the preliminary 

results of its administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on certain 

welded carbon steel pipe and tube 

(‘‘welded pipe and tube’’) from Turkey.1

This review covers one producer/ 

exporter of the subject merchandise.2

The period of review (‘‘POR’’) is May 1, 

2007, through April 30, 2008. Based on 

our analysis of the comments received, 

these final results differ from the 

preliminary results. The final results are 

listed below in the Final Results of 

Review section. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 15, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Dennis McClure or Christopher Hargett,

4161, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This review covers the Borusan 

Group3 (‘‘Borusan’’), a producer/ 

exporter of the subject merchandise. On 

February 9, 2009, the Department 

published the preliminary results of this 

review and invited interested parties to 

comment on those results. On March 11, 

2009, we received a case brief from 

Borusan. We did not receive a rebuttal 

brief from any interested parties. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

include circular welded non–alloy steel 

pipes and tubes, of circular crosssection, not more than 406.4 millimeters 

(16 inches) in outside diameter, 

regardless of wall thickness, surface 

finish (black, or galvanized, painted), or 

end finish (plain end, beveled end, 

threaded and coupled). Those pipes and 

tubes are generally known as standard 

pipe, though they may also be called 

structural or mechanical tubing in 

certain applications. Standard pipes and 

tubes are intended for the low pressure 

conveyance of water, steam, natural gas, 

air, and other liquids and gases in 

plumbing and heating systems, air 

conditioner units, automatic sprinkler 

systems, and other related uses. 

Standard pipe may also be used for light 

load–bearing and mechanical 

applications, such as for fence tubing, 

and for protection of electrical wiring, 

such as conduit shells. 

The scope is not limited to standard 

pipe and fence tubing, or those types of 

mechanical and structural pipe that are 

used in standard pipe applications. All 

carbon steel pipes and tubes within the 

22884 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 93 / Friday, May 15, 2009 / Notices 

physical description outlined above are 

included in the scope of this order, 

except for line pipe, oil country tubular 

goods, boiler tubing, cold–drawn or 

cold–rolled mechanical tubing, pipe and 

tube hollows for redraws, finished 

scaffolding, and finished rigid conduit. 

Imports of these products are 

currently classifiable under the 

following Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) 

subheadings: 7306.30.10.00, 

7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32, 

7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55, 

7306.30.50.85, and 7306.30.50.90. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, our written description of the 

scope of this proceeding is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

Interested parties made only one 

comment which related to an alleged 

ministerial error, which we address 

below. A separate Issues and Decision 

Memorandum has not been prepared for 

these final results. 

Because the Department used the 

incorrect start and end dates for the 

POR, Borusan argues that the 

Department incorrectly dropped a large 

number of home market sales from the 

margin calculation. Borusan asserts that 

the Department should correct the start 

and end dates for the window periods 

in the margin calculation in order to 

match U.S. sales to contemporaneous 

sales in the home market. Citing to 

section 773(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), Borusan 

contends that the Department needs to 

ensure that a proper cost test is applied 

to the home market sales so as to ensure 

a proper determination of whether home 

market sales have been made at less 

than cost of production ‘‘over an 

extended period of time.’’ 

We agree that the Department 

inadvertently used the incorrect dates as 

the start date and end date in our 

margin calculation. Therefore, we have 

corrected the dates to ensure that a 

proper cost test is applied to the home 

market sales. See Calculation 

Memorandum for the Borusan Group, 

from Dennis McClure to James Terpstra, 

dated June 9, 2009. 

Fair Value Comparisons 

We calculated export price (‘‘EP’’) and 

normal value (‘‘NV’’) based on the same 

methodology used in the preliminary 

results, except as noted in the Analysis 

of Comments Received section above. 

Cost of Production 

We calculated the cost of production 

for the merchandise based on the same 

methodology used in the preliminary 

results. 

Final Results of Review 

As a result of our review, we 

determine that the following weighted– 

average margin exists for the period May 

1, 2007, through April 30, 2008. 

Manufacturer/Exporter Weighted–Average 

Margin 

Borusan4 ....................... 7.59 percent 

4The cash deposit rate calculated for 

Borusan applies to The Borusan Group, 

Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret, 

A.S. and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. for 

CBP purposes. The Department formerly referred to Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. as 

Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. See Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Welded Carbon Steel Pipe and 

Tube from Turkey, 70 FR 73447 (December 

12, 2005). We note that Borusan’s response 

does not identify a company by the name 

Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. Instead, Borusan’s response identified their affiliate, Borusan 

Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S., which was not involved 

in sales of subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR. See Borusan’s August 

29, 2008, response at 33. Borusan also explained in its August 29, 2008, response at 5, 

that Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari San ve 

Tic. (‘‘BBBF’’) was renamed Borusan 

Mannesmann Boru Sanayi Ve Ticaret, A.S. 

prior to BBBF’s name change. 

Assessment 

The Department will determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) shall assess, antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries, 

pursuant to section 751(a)(1)(B) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b). The 

Department calculated importer– 

specific duty assessment rates based on 

the ratio of the total antidumping duties 

calculated for the examined sales to the 

total entered value of the examined 

sales for that importer. Where the 

assessment rate is above de minimis, we 

will instruct CBP to assess duties on all 

entries of subject merchandise by that 

importer. The Department intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 

days after the date of publication of 

these final results of review. 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (‘‘Assessment 

Policy Notice’’). This clarification will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Borusan 

for which Borusan did not know that 

the merchandise it sold to the 

intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading 

company, or exporter) was destined for 

the United States. In such instances, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all–others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediary 

involved in the transaction. See 

Assessment Policy Notice for a full 

discussion of this clarification. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following antidumping duty 

deposit rates will be effective upon 

publication of this notice of final results 

of the administrative review for all 

shipments of welded pipe and tube from 

Turkey entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of the publication of these final 

results, as provided by section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for 

Borusan is 7.59 percent; (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 final results in which that 

manufacturer or exporter participated; 

(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered 

in this review, a prior review, or the 

original less–than-fair–value (‘‘LTFV’’) 

investigation, but the manufacturer is, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recent final 

results 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 

conducted by the Department, the cash 

deposit rate will be 14.74 percent, the 

all–others rate established in the LTFV 

investigation. See Antidumping Duty 

Order; Welded Carbon Steel Standard 

Pipe and Tube Products From Turkey, 

51 FR 17784 (May 15, 1986). These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Reimbursement of Duties 

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 and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this review 

period. Failure to comply with this 

requirement may result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping and/or 

countervailing duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of doubled 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also is the only reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 93 / Friday, May 15, 2009 / Notices 22885 

notification of the 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. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results and notice in accordance with 

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

Act. 

Dated: May 7, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 30, 2008, the 

Department published in the Federal 

Register the preliminary results of this 

changed circumstances review and 

intent to reinstate SSI in the 

antidumping order on hot–rolled steel 

from Thailand. See Preliminary Results. 

This review covers sales of subject 

merchandise by SSI. The POR is July 1, 

2006, through June 30, 2007. 

On December 10, 2008, we issued a 

notice correcting an error in the First 

Extension Notice. See Certain Hot– 

Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products from 

Thailand: Correction to Notice of 

Extension of Time Limit for Final 

Results of Changed Circumstances 

Review, 73 FR 75079 (December 10, 

2008). On February 5, 2009, the 

Department issued a notice correcting 

an error in the Preliminary Results. See 

Certain Hot–Rolled Carbon Steel Flat 

Products from Thailand: Correction to 

Preliminary Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review and Intent To 

Reinstate Sahaviriya Steel Industries 

Public Company Limited in the 

Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 6136 

(February 5, 2009). 

We invited interested parties to 

comment on the preliminary results of 

review. On February 4, 2009, we 

received comments from SSI, U.S. Steel 

Corporation (‘‘petitioner’’), and 

interested party Nucor Corporation 

(‘‘Nucor’’). On February 11, 2009, SSI, 

petitioner and Nucor filed rebuttal 

comments. At the request of SSI, we 

held a hearing on this changed 

circumstances review on February 19, 

2009. The Department has conducted 

this changed circumstances review in 

accordance with section 751(b) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’). 

Scope of the Order 

For purposes of the order, the 

products covered are certain hot–rolled 

carbon steel flat products of a 

rectangular shape, of a width of 0.5 inch 

or greater, neither clad, plated, nor 

coated with metal and whether or not 

painted, varnished, or coated with 

plastics or other non–metallic 

substances, in coils (whether or not in 

successively superimposed layers), 

regardless of thickness, and in straight 

lengths, of a thickness of less than 4.75 

mm and of a width measuring at least 

10 times the thickness. Universal mill 

plate (i.e., flat–rolled products rolled on 

four faces or in a closed box pass, of a 

width exceeding 150 mm, but not 

exceeding 1250 mm, and of a thickness 

of not less than 4.0 mm, not in coils and 

without patterns in relief) of a thickness 

not less than 4.0 mm is not included 

within the scope of the order. 

Specifically included within the 

scope of the order are vacuum degassed, 

fully stabilized (commonly referred to as 

interstitial–free (‘‘IF’’)) steels, high 

strength low alloy (‘‘HSLA’’) steels, and 

the substrate for motor lamination 

steels. IF steels are recognized as low 

carbon steels with micro–alloying levels 

of elements such as titanium or niobium 

(also commonly referred to as 

columbium), or both, added to stabilize 

carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA 

steels are recognized as steels with 

micro–alloying levels of elements such 

as chromium, copper, niobium, 

vanadium, and molybdenum. The 

substrate for motor lamination steels 

contains micro–alloying levels of 

elements such as silicon and aluminum. 

Steel products to be included in the 

scope of the order, regardless of 

definitions in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’), are products in which: i) 

iron predominates, by weight, over each 

of the other contained elements; ii) the 

carbon content is 2 percent or less, by 

weight; and iii) none of the elements 

listed below exceeds the quantity, by 

weight, respectively indicated: 

1.80 percent of manganese, or 

2.25 percent of silicon, or 

1.00 percent of copper, or 

0.50 percent of aluminum, or 

1.25 percent of chromium, or 

0.30 percent of cobalt, or 

0.40 percent of lead, or
