respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 751(a)(1) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), on 

April 18, 2017, the Department 

published its final results in the 

countervailing duty administrative 

review of certain new phenumatic offthe-road tires from the PRC.1 Titan Tire 

Corporation (Titan) and the United 

Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, 

Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 

Industrial and Service Workers 

International Union, AFL–CIO–CLC (the 

USW) (collectively, the petitioners) and 

Xuzhou Xugong Tyres Co. Ltd. (Xuzhou 

Xugong) timely alleged ministerial 

errors on April 21 and 24, 2017.2

Xuzhou Xugong, the petitioners, and 

Guizhou Tyre Co., Ltd. (Guizhou Tyre) 

timely filed rebuttal comments on April 

26 and 28, 2017.3

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the scope are 

new pneumatic tires designed for offthe-road (OTR) and off-highway use. 

The subject merchandise is currently 

classifiable under Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheadings: 4011.20.10.25, 

4011.20.10.35, 4011.20.50.30, 

4011.20.50.50, 4011.70.0010, 

4011.62.00.00, 4011.80.1020, 

4011.90.10, 4011.70.0050, 4011.80.1010, 

4011.80.1020, 4011.80.2010, 

4011.80.2020, 4011.80.8010, and 

4011.80.8020. While HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, our 

written description of the scope, which 

is contained in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum accompanying the Final 

Results, is dispositive.4

Ministerial Errors 

Section 751(h) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.224(f) define a ‘‘ministerial error’’ as 

an error ‘‘in addition, subtraction, or 

other arithmetic function, clerical error 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

similar type of unintentional error 

which the Secretary considers 

ministerial.’’ The Department finds that 

one of the ministerial errors alleged by 

the petitioners constitutes a ministerial 

error within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.224(f).5 Specifically, we made a 

ministerial error with regard to the 

selection of a synthetic rubber 

benchmark for the calculation of the 

provison of synthetic rubber at less than 

adequate remuneration for Guizhou 

Tyre and Xuzhou Xugong. For a 

complete discussion of these alleged 

errors, see the Response to Ministerial 

Error Allegations.6

In accordance with section 751(h) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are 

amending the Final Results.7

Specifically, we are amending the net 

subsidy rates for Guizhou Tyre, Xuzhou 

Xugong, and the 44 companies for 

which a review was requested that were 

not selected as mandatory respondents 

(the non-selected companies).8 The 

revised net subsidy rates are provided 

below. 

Amended Final Results 

As a result of correcting the 

ministerial errors, we determine that 

Guizhou Tyre’s, Xuzhou Xugong’s and 

the non-selected companies’ total net 

countervailable subsidy rates for the 

period January 1, 2014, through 

December 31, 2014, are as follows: 

Manufacturer/exporter 

Subsidy rate 

(percent ad 

valorem) 

Guizhou Tyre Co., Ltd. and/ 

or Guizhou Tyre Import 

and Export Co., Ltd. .......... 37.57 

Xuzhou Xugong Tyres Co. 

Ltd. .................................... 57.13 

Non Selected Companies 9 .. 47.35 

Assessment Rates/Cash Deposits 

The Department intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions to 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) 15 days after the date of 

publication of these amended final 

results of review, to liquidate shipments 

of subject merchandise produced and/or 

exported by the respondent listed above 

entered, or withdrawn from, warehouses 

for consumption on or after January 1, 

2014, through December 31, 2014. On 

May 10, 12, and 23, 2017, the U.S. Court 

of International Trade preliminarily 

enjoined liquidation of certain entries 

that are subject to the Final Results.10

Accordingly, the Department will not 

instruct CBP to assess countervailing 

duties on those enjoined entries 

pending resolution of the associated 

litigation. 

The Department also intends to 

instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties, in the 

amount shown above for the companies 

listed above, on shipments of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from, warehouses for consumption on or 

after April 18, 2017, the date of 

publication of the Final Results. For all 

non-reviewed firms, we will instruct 

CBP to continue to collect cash deposits 

at the most-recent company-specific or 

all-others rate applicable to the 

company, as appropriate. These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed,

Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings 

From the People’s Republic of China: 

Initiation of Anti-Circumvention Inquiry 

on the Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: In response to requests from 

Tube Forgings of America, Inc. (TFA), 

Mills Iron Works, Inc. (Mills), and 

Hackney Ladish, Inc. (Hackney), 

(collectively, the petitioners), the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) is initiating an anticircumvention inquiry. In this inquiry, 

the Department will determine whether 

certain imports of carbon steel butt-weld 

pipe fittings (butt-weld pipe fittings) 

into the United States, exported from 

Malaysia, which were completed in 

Malaysia using finished or unfinished 

butt-weld pipe fittings sourced from the 

People’s Republic of China (PRC), are 

circumventing the antidumping duty 

order on butt-weld pipe fittings from the 

PRC. 

DATES: Applicable August 25, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julia 

Hancock at (202) 482–1394, AD/CVD 

Operations, Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 

NW., Washington, DC 20230. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 6, 

1992, the Department issued the Order 

on imports of butt-weld pipe fittings 

from the PRC.1 Additionally, on March 

31, 1994, the Department issued the 

affirmative final determination finding 

that imports into the United States of 

pipe fittings that were finished in 

Thailand from unfinished pipe fittings 

produced in the PRC constituted 

circumvention of the Order within the 

meaning of section 781(b) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 The 

Department applied this finding of 

circumvention to all imports of buttweld pipe fittings from Thailand, 

regardless of manufacturer/producer, 

unless accompanied by a certification 

stating that such pipe fittings have not 

been produced from unfinished PRC 

pipe fittings.3

On May 22, 2017, the petitioners, 

pursuant to section 781(b) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.225(h), submitted a 

properly filed request for the 

Department to initiate an anticircumvention inquiry to determine 

whether certain imports of butt-weld 

pipe fittings which were completed in 

Malaysia using finished or unfinished 

butt-weld pipe fittings sourced from the 

PRC are circumventing the Order.4

Specifically, the petitioners allege that 

certain imports of butt-weld pipe 

fittings sourced from unfinished or 

finished butt-weld pipe fittings from the 

PRC have undergone minor finishing 

processes, or were simply marked with 

‘‘Malaysia’’ as the country of origin, in 

Malaysia, before export to the United 

States. The petitioners request that the 

Department treat all butt-weld pipe 

fittings imported from Malaysia, 

regardless of producer or exporter, as 

subject merchandise under the scope of 

the Order and impose cash deposit 

requirements for estimated antidumping 

duties on all imports of butt-weld pipe 

fittings from Malaysia.5 In the 

alternative to an anti-circumvention 

inquiry, the petitioners requested that 

we initiate and issue a preliminary 

scope ruling that certain imports of buttweld pipe fittings which were 

completed in Malaysia using finished or 

unfinished butt-weld pipe fittings 

sourced from the PRC are covered by the 

scope of the Order, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.225(k).6

On May 26, 2017, we received 

comments objecting to the allegations 

made by the petitioners from Pantech 

Steel Industries SDN Ph.D. (Pantech).7

Also, on June 14, 2017, we received 

comments objecting to the allegations 

made by the petitioners from Solidbend 

Fittings & Flanges Sdn. Bhd. 

(Solidbend).8 On June 22, 2017, we 

received rebuttal comments from the 

petitioners regarding Solidbend’s 

comments.9 Additionally, on July 21, 

2017, we received comments objecting 

to the allegations made by the 

petitioners from Arah Dagang Sdn Bhd 

(Arah Dagang).10

On August 8, 2017, we requested a list 

of all known producers and exporters of 

butt-weld pipe fittings in Malaysia from 

the petitioners, and on August 10, 2017, 

the petitioners submitted their 

response.11 Additionally, on August 14,
