Countervailing Duty Order 

On January 7, 2009, in accordance 

with section 705(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified the Department of its final 

determination that the industry in the 

United States producing line pipe is 

materially injured within the meaning 

of section 705(b) (1)(A)(i) of the Act by 

reason of subsidized imports of line 

pipe from the PRC. Therefore, 

countervailing duties will be assessed 

on all unliquidated entries of line pipe 

from the PRC entered or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption, on or 

after September 9, 2008, the date on 

which the Department published its 

preliminary affirmative countervailing 

duty determination in the Federal 

Register. See Circular Welded Line Pipe 

from the People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing 

Duty Determination, 73 FR 52297 

(September 9, 2008). 

In accordance with section 706 of the 

Act, the Department will direct CBP to 

continue to suspend liquidation, 

effective the date of publication of this 

order in the Federal Register and to 

assess, upon further advice by the 

Department pursuant to section 

706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing 

duties for each entry of the subject 

merchandise in an amount based on the 

amended net countervailable subsidy 

rates for the subject merchandise as 

noted above. Further, with respect to 

Huludao, we are directing CBP to 

require a cash deposit for such entries 

of subject merchandise in the amount 

indicated above that are entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of this amended final 

determination in the Federal Register. 

We are further directing CBP to grant a 

refund for any over collection on entries 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the Final 

Determination and on or before the 

publication date of the amended final 

determination and order in the Federal 

Register, provided the importer makes 

such a request pursuant to 19 USC 

§ 1520(a)(4). 

Regarding the rate applied to all other 

companies not individually investigated 

for the amended final, we are directing 

CBP to require a cash deposit for such 

entries of subject merchandise in the 

amount indicated above that are 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the amended final 

determination in the Federal Register. 

We are further directing CBP to grant a 

refund for any over collection on entries 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the Final 

Determination and on or before the 

publication date of the amended final 

determination in the Federal Register, 

provided the importer makes such a 

request pursuant to 19 USC § 1520(a)(4). 

This notice constitutes the 

countervailing duty order with respect 

to line pipe from the PRC, pursuant to 

section 706(a) of the Act. Interested 

parties may contact the Department’s 

Central Records Unit, Room 1117 of the 

Main Commerce Building, for copies of 

an updated list of countervailing duty 

orders currently in effect. 

This order is issued and published in 

accordance with section 736(a) of the 

Act, 19 CFR 351.211(b) and 19 CFR 

351.224(e).

Refined Brown Aluminum Oxide from 

the People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Expedited Sunset Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On October 1, 2008, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) initiated a sunset review of 

the antidumping duty order on refined 

brown aluminum oxide (RBAO) from 

the People’s Republic of China (PRC) 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The 

Department conducted an expedited 

(120–day) sunset review of this order. 

As a result of this sunset review, the 

Department finds that revocation of the 

antidumping duty order would be likely 

to lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping. The dumping margins are 

identified in the Final Results of Review 

section of this notice. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 23, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: 

On October 1, 2008, the Department 

published the notice of initiation of the 

sunset review of the antidumping duty 

order on RBAO from the PRC pursuant 

to section 751(c) of the Act. See 

Initiation of Five–Year (‘‘Sunset’’) 

Review, 73 FR 57055, October 1, 2008. 

The Department received a Notice of 

Intent to Participate from the following 

domestic producers of RBAO: C–E 

Minerals, Inc., Great Lakes Minerals 

LLC, Treibacher Schleifmittel North 

America, Inc., U.S. Electrofused 

Minerals, Inc., and Washington Mills 

Company, Inc. (collectively ‘‘the 

domestic interested parties’’), within the 

deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(i). The domestic 

interested parties claimed interested 

party status under section 771(9)(C) of 

the Act, as manufacturers of a domestic– 

like product in the United States. We 

received a complete substantive 

response from the domestic interested 

parties within the 30–day deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We 

received no substantive responses from 

any respondent interested parties. As a 

result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department 

conducted an expedited (120–day) 

sunset review of the order. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is ground, pulverized or refined 

brown artificial corundum, also known 

as brown aluminum oxide or brown 

fused alumina, in grit size of 3/8 inch 

or less. Excluded from the scope of the 

order is crude artificial corundum in 

which particles with a diameter greater 

than 3/8 inch constitute at least 50 

percent of the total weight of the entire 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 14 / Friday, January 23, 2009 / Notices 4139 

batch. The scope includes brown 

artificial corundum in which particles 

with a diameter greater than 3/8 inch 

constitute less than 50 percent of the 

total weight of the batch. The 

merchandise under investigation is 

currently classifiable under subheadings 

2818.10.20.00 and 2818.10.20.90 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). Although the 

HTSUS subheading is provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

covered by the order is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received

Memorandum for the Final Results of

adopted by this notice. The issues 

discussed in the Decision Memo include 

the likelihood of continuation or
