Manufacturing Co. (collectively,
‘‘domestic interested parties’’), within
the deadline specified in section
351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Department’s
regulations. Domestic interested parties
claimed interested party status under
section 771(9)(C) of the Act as U.S.
producers of the subject merchandise.
The Department notes that Tyler Pipe is
a U.S. producer of light castings only
and is not an interested party in this
proceeding.
The Department received a complete
response from the domestic interested
parties within the deadline specified in
the Department’s regulations under
section 351.218(d)(3)(i). However, the
Department received no responses from
respondent interested parties as
required in section 351.218(d)(3)(i) of
the Department’s regulations. As a
result, the Department conducted an
expedited sunset review pursuant to
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and
section 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) of the
Department’s regulations.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the
antidumping duty order consists of
certain iron construction castings from
Canada, limited to manhole covers,
rings, and frames, catch basin grates and
frames, clean–out covers and frames
used for drainage or access purposes for
public utility, water and sanitary
systems, classifiable as ‘‘heavy’’ castings
under Harmonized Tariff Schedule
(‘‘HTS’’) item number 7325.10.0010.
These articles must be of cast iron, not
alloyed, and not malleable.
On September 23, 1998, the
Department issued final results of a
changed circumstances review, in
which the Department revoked the order
with respect to ‘‘light’’ castings. As a
result, only one HTS item number
applies to this order. That number, HTS
item number 7325.10.000, is provided
for convenience and customs purposes
only. The written description remains
dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this case are
addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum’’ (‘‘Decision Memo’’)
from Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting
Director, Office of Policy, Import
Administration, to Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, dated May 2, 2005,
which is hereby adopted by this notice.
The issues discussed in the Decision
Memo include the likelihood of
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and the magnitude of the margin likely
to prevail if the order were revoked.
