SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 10, 2005, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published
the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on seamless
pipe from Romania. See Certain Small
Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless
Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe from
Romania: Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Preliminary Determination
Not to Revoke in Part, 70 FR 24520 (May
10, 2005) (Preliminary Results). We
invited interested parties to comment on
the preliminary results. We did not
receive comments from interested
parties, and we did not make any
changes to the margin for the final
results. The Department has conducted
VerDate jul<14>2003
15:11 Jul 15, 2005
Jkt 205001
this administrative review in
accordance with section 751 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
seamless carbon and alloy (other than
stainless) steel standard, line, and
pressure pipes and redraw hollows
produced, or equivalent, to the ASTM
A–53, ASTM A–106, ASTM A–333,
ASTM A–334, ASTM A–335, ASTM A–
589, ASTM A–795, and the API 5L
specifications and meeting the physical
parameters described below, regardless
of application. The scope of the order
also includes all products used in
standard, line, or pressure pipe
applications and meeting the physical
parameters described below, regardless
of specification. Specifically included
within the scope of the order are
seamless pipes and redraw hollows, less
than or equal to 4.5 inches (114.3 mm)
in outside diameter, regardless of wall–
thickness, manufacturing process (hot
finished or cold–drawn), end finish
(plain end, beveled end, upset end,
threaded, or threaded and coupled), or
surface finish.
The seamless pipes subject to the
order are currently classifiable under
the subheadings 7304.10.10.20,
7304.10.50.20, 7304.31.30.00,
7304.31.60.50, 7304.39.00.16,
7304.39.00.20, 7304.39.00.24,
7304.39.00.28, 7304.39.00.32,
7304.51.50.05, 7304.51.50.60,
7304.59.60.00, 7304.59.80.10,
7304.59.80.15, 7304.59.80.20, and
7304.59.80.25 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
For a further and more specific
description of the scope of the order,
please see Preliminary Results, 70 FR at
24521.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
purposes, our written description of the
merchandise subject to the scope of this
order is dispositive.
Facts Available
For these final results, the Department
continues to find that S.C. Silcotub S.A.
did not act to the best of its ability by
withdrawing itself from the review, thus
withholding information necessary to
calculate an accurate dumping margin
and which the Department requested.
Accordingly, the Department continues
to find that the use of adverse facts
available is warranted under section 776
of the Act. For a detailed discussion of
our application, selection, and
corroboration of the rate we selected as
adverse facts available, see Preliminary
Results, 70 FR at 24522, 24523.

No Revocation in Part
On August 31, 2004, Silcotub
submitted a request that the Department
revoke the order in part on seamless
pipe from Romania with respect to its
sales. In the Preliminary Results we
determined that S.C. Silcotub S.A. did
not meet the requirement of selling the
subject merchandise at not less than
normal value for a period of three
consecutive years. See Preliminary
Results, 70 FR at 24523. Therefore, for
these final results, we determine not to
revoke the order with respect to sales of
seamless pipe made by S.C. Silcotub
S.A. to the United States.
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we
determine that a weighted–average
dumping margin of 15.15 percent exists
for S.C. Silcotub S.A. for the period
August 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004.
Duty Assessment and Cash–Deposit
Requirements
The Department will determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries. Because we are
applying adverse facts available to all
exports of subject merchandise
produced or exported by S.C. Silcotub
S.A., we will instruct CBP to assess the
final percentage margin against the
entered customs values on all applicable
entries during the period of review. The
Department will issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP
within 15 days of publication of these
final results of review.
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of
these final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of seamless
pipe from Romania entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The
cash–deposit rate for S.C. Silcotub S.A.
is 15.15 percent; (2) for merchandise
exported by producers or exporters that
were previously reviewed or
investigated, the cash deposit will
continue to be the most recent rate
published in the final determination or
final results for which the producer or
exporter received an individual rate; (3)
if the exporter is not a firm covered in
this review, a prior review, or the
original less–than-fair–value
investigation but the manufacturer is,
the cash–deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) if neither the
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm
covered in this or any previous review,
E:\FR\FM\18JYN1.SGM
18JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 136 / Monday, July 18, 2005 / Notices
the cash–deposit rate shall be 13.06
percent, the all–others rate established
in the prior administrative review. See
Notice of Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review and Final
Determination Not To Revoke Order in
Part: Certain Small Diameter Carbon
and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line, and
Pressure Pipe From Romania, 70 FR
7237 (February 11, 2005). These cash–
deposit requirements shall remain in
effect until publication of the final
results of the next administrative
review.
Notification of Interested Parties
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during the review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO as explained in
the administrative protective order
itself. Timely written notification of the
return/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 sanctionable violation.
These final results of administrative
review and notice are issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUMMARY: On May 21, 1999, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
AGENCY:
VerDate jul<14>2003

Department’’) published an
antidumping duty order on certain
stainless steel plate in coils from
Canada. See Antidumping Duty Order,
Certain Stainless Steel Plate in Coils
from Belgium, Canada, Italy, Republic
of Korea, South Africa, and Taiwan, 64
FR 27756 (May 21, 1999). On April 1,
2004, the Department initiated its first
sunset review of the order on certain
stainless steel plate in coils from
Canada. See Initiation of Five-Year
(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 69 FR 17129 (April
1, 2004).
(‘‘First Sunset Review’’). Pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act from
1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), the
International Trade Commission (‘‘the
ITC’’) determined that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on certain
stainless steel plate in coils from Canada
is not likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time. See Certain
Stainless Steel Plate from Belgium,
Canada, Italy, Korea, South Africa, and
Taiwan, 70 FR 38710 (July 5, 2005).
Therefore, pursuant to section 751(d)(2)
of the Act, and section 351.222(i)(1)(iii)
of the Department’s regulations, the
Department is revoking the antidumping
duty order on certain stainless steel
plate in coils from Canada.

This scope language reflects the
March 11, 2003, amendment of the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders and suspension of liquidation
which the Department implemented in
accordance with the Court of
International Trade, decision in
Allegheny Ludlum v. United States,
2002 Ct. Int. Trade LEXIS 147
(December 12, 2002). See also Notice of
Amended Antidumping Duty Orders;

and Notice of Amended Countervailing
Duty Orders; Certain Stainless Steel
Plate in Coils from Belgium, Italy, and
South Africa, 68 FR 11524 (March 11,
2003).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this order is
certain stainless steel plate in coils.
Stainless steel is an alloy steel
containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or
less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more
of chromium, with or without other
elements. The subject plate products are
flat-rolled products, 254 mm or over in
width and 4.75 mm or more in
thickness, in coils, and annealed or
otherwise heat treated and pickled or
otherwise descaled. The subject plate
may also be further processed (e.g.,
cold-rolled, polished, etc.) provided that
it maintains the specified dimensions of
plate following such processing.
Excluded from the scope of the order are
the following: (1) Plate not in coils, (2)
plate that is not annealed or otherwise
heat treated and pickled or otherwise
descaled, (3) sheet and strip, and (4) flat
On April 1, 2004, the Department
initiated, and the ITC instituted, a
sunset review of the antidumping duty
order on certain stainless steel plate in
coils from Canada. See Initiation of
Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 69 FR
17129 (April 1, 2004), and Certain
Stainless Steel Plate from Belgium,
Canada, Italy, Korea, South Africa, and
Taiwan; Initiation of Five-Year Review,
69 FR 17235 (April 1, 2004). As a result
of the review, the Department found
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of dumping, and notified
the ITC of the magnitude of the margin
likely to prevail were the order to be
revoked. See Stainless Steel Plate in
Coils from Canada, South Africa, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 10, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on seamless pipe from Romania. See Certain Small
Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe
from Romania: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Preliminary Determination Not to Revoke in Part, 70 FR 24520
(May 10, 2005) (Preliminary Results). We invited interested parties to
comment on the preliminary results. We did not receive comments from
interested parties, and we did not make any changes to the margin for
the final results. The Department has conducted this administrative
review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are seamless carbon and alloy
(other than stainless) steel standard, line, and pressure pipes and
redraw hollows produced, or equivalent, to the ASTM A-53, ASTM A-106,
ASTM A-333, ASTM A-334, ASTM A-335, ASTM A-589, ASTM A-795, and the API
5L specifications and meeting the physical parameters described below,
regardless of application. The scope of the order also includes all
products used in standard, line, or pressure pipe applications and
meeting the physical parameters described below, regardless of
specification. Specifically included within the scope of the order are
seamless pipes and redraw hollows, less than or equal to 4.5 inches
(114.3 mm) in outside diameter, regardless of wall-thickness,
manufacturing process (hot finished or cold-drawn), end finish (plain
end, beveled end, upset end, threaded, or threaded and coupled), or
surface finish.
The seamless pipes subject to the order are currently classifiable
under the subheadings 7304.10.10.20, 7304.10.50.20, 7304.31.30.00,
7304.31.60.50, 7304.39.00.16, 7304.39.00.20, 7304.39.00.24,
7304.39.00.28, 7304.39.00.32, 7304.51.50.05, 7304.51.50.60,
7304.59.60.00, 7304.59.80.10, 7304.59.80.15, 7304.59.80.20, and
7304.59.80.25 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS).
For a further and more specific description of the scope of the
order, please see Preliminary Results, 70 FR at 24521.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) purposes, our written
description of the merchandise subject to the scope of this order is
dispositive.
Facts Available
For these final results, the Department continues to find that S.C.
Silcotub S.A. did not act to the best of its ability by withdrawing
itself from the review, thus withholding information necessary to
calculate an accurate dumping margin and which the Department
requested. Accordingly, the Department continues to find that the use
of adverse facts available is warranted under section 776 of the Act.
For a detailed discussion of our application, selection, and
corroboration of the rate we selected as adverse facts available, see
Preliminary Results, 70 FR at 24522, 24523.
No Revocation in Part
On August 31, 2004, Silcotub submitted a request that the
Department revoke the order in part on seamless pipe from Romania with
respect to its sales. In the Preliminary Results we determined that
S.C. Silcotub S.A. did not meet the requirement of selling the subject
merchandise at not less than normal value for a period of three
consecutive years. See Preliminary Results, 70 FR at 24523. Therefore,
for these final results, we determine not to revoke the order with
respect to sales of seamless pipe made by S.C. Silcotub S.A. to the
United States.
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we determine that a weighted-average
dumping margin of 15.15 percent exists for S.C. Silcotub S.A. for the
period August 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004.
Duty Assessment and Cash-Deposit Requirements
The Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries. Because we are applying adverse
facts available to all exports of subject merchandise produced or
exported by S.C. Silcotub S.A., we will instruct CBP to assess the
final percentage margin against the entered customs values on all
applicable entries during the period of review. The Department will
issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP within 15
days of publication of these final results of review.
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of this administrative review for
all shipments of seamless pipe from Romania entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The
cash-deposit rate for S.C. Silcotub S.A. is 15.15 percent; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or exporters that were previously
reviewed or investigated, the cash deposit will continue to be the most
recent rate published in the final determination or final results for
which the producer or exporter received an individual rate; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the
original less-than-fair-value investigation but the manufacturer is,
the cash-deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent
period for the manufacturer of the subject merchandise; and (4) if
neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or
any previous review,
[[Page 41207]]
the cash-deposit rate shall be 13.06 percent, the all-others rate
established in the prior administrative review. See Notice of Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final
Determination Not To Revoke Order in Part: Certain Small Diameter
Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe From
Romania, 70 FR 7237 (February 11, 2005). These cash-deposit
requirements shall remain in effect until publication of the final
results of the next administrative review.
Notification of Interested Parties
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during the review period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO as explained in the administrative protective order itself. Timely
written notification of the return/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 sanctionable
violation.
These final results of administrative review and notice are issued
and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act.
