Gap Period Liquidation 

For the first administrative review of 

any order, there will be no assessment 

of antidumping or countervailing duties 

on entries of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption during the relevant 

provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period, of 

the order, if such a gap period is 

applicable to the POR. 

Administrative Protective Orders and 

Letters of Appearance 

Interested parties must submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective orders in 

accordance with the procedures 

outlined in the Department’s regulations 

at 19 CFR 351.305. Those procedures 

apply to administrative reviews 

included in this notice of initiation. 

Parties wishing to participate in any of 

these administrative reviews should 

ensure that they meet the requirements 

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

separate letters of appearance as 

discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)). 

Factual Information Requirements 

The Department’s regulations identify 

five categories of factual information in 

19 CFR 351.102(b)(21), which are 

summarized as follows: (i) Evidence 

submitted in response to questionnaires; 

(ii) evidence submitted in support of 

allegations; (iii) publicly available 

information to value factors under 19 

CFR 351.408(c) or to measure the 

adequacy of remuneration under 19 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). These regulations 

require 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 

regulations, at 19 CFR 351.301, also 

provide specific time limits for such 

factual submissions based on the type of 

factual information being submitted. 

Please review the final rule, available at 

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

1304frn/2013–08227.txt, prior to 

submitting factual information in this 

segment. 

Any party submitting factual 

information in an antidumping duty or 

countervailing duty proceeding must 

certify to the accuracy and completeness 

of that information.7 Parties are hereby 

reminded that revised certification 

requirements are in effect for company/ 

government officials as well as their 

representatives. All segments of any 

antidumping duty or countervailing 

duty proceedings initiated on or after 

August 16, 2013, should use the formats 

for the revised certifications provided at 

the end of the Final Rule.8 The 

Department intends to reject factual 

submissions in any proceeding 

segments if the submitting party does 

not comply with applicable revised 

certification requirements. 

Extension of Time Limits Regulation 

Parties may request an extension of 

time limits before a time limit 

established under Part 351 expires, or as 

otherwise specified by the Secretary. 

See 19 CFR 351.302. 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 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 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

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. Please review the 

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 

segments. 

These initiations and this notice are 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the

Continued 

CFR 351.213(d)(1), Zekelman timely 

withdrew its request for an 

administrative review of all 20 

companies.2

Rescission of Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Department will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the party that requested the 

review withdraws the requests within 

90 days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation of the requested 

review. Zekelman withdrew its review 

request by the 90-day deadline, and no 

other parties requested an 

administrative review of this order. 

Therefore, we are rescinding the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on circular 

welded carbon quality steel pipe from 

the PRC covering the period July 1, 2016 

to June 30, 2017, in its entirety. 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. Because the 

Department is rescinding this 

administrative review in its entirety, the 

entries to which this administrative 

review pertains shall be assessed 

antidumping duties that are equal to the 

cash deposits of estimated antidumping 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP within 15 days after 

the publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as the only 

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 

presumption that reimbursement of the 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of doubled 

antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as 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, which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. 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 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Continuation of Antidumping Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

DATES: Applicable November 13, 2017. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) and the 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

(USITC) that revocation of the 

antidumping duty orders on certain 

large diameter carbon and alloy 

seamless standard, line and pressure 

pipe (large diameter pipe) from Japan 

and certain small diameter carbon and 

alloy seamless standard, line and 

pressure pipe (small diameter pipe) 

from Japan and Romania would likely 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, the 

Department is publishing a notice of 

continuation of the antidumping duty 

orders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 26, 2000, and August 10, 

2000, the Department published the AD 

orders on large diameter pipe from 

Japan and small diameter pipe from 

Japan and Romania, respectively.1 On 

September 1, 2016, the Department 

published the notice of initiation of the 

third sunset review of the antidumping 

duty orders on large diameter pipe from 

Japan and small diameter pipe from 

Japan and Romania pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act).2 On December 16, 

2016, the USITC instituted its review of 

the orders.3

As a result of its review, the 

Department determined that revocation 

of the antidumping duty orders on large 

diameter pipe from Japan and small 

diameter pipe from Japan and Romania 

would likely lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and, therefore, 

notified the USITC of the magnitude of 

the margins of dumping likely to prevail 

should the orders be revoked.4

On October 16, 2017, the USITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

section 751(c)(1) of the Act, that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

orders on large diameter pipe from 

Japan and small diameter pipe from 

Japan and Romania would be likely to 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5
