water, steam, natural gas, air and other
liquids and gasses in plumbing and
heating systems, air conditioning units,
automatic sprinkler systems, and other
related uses. Standard pipes (depending
on type and code) may carry liquids at
elevated temperatures but must not
exceed relevant ASME code
requirements.
Seamless line pipes are intended for
the conveyance of oil and natural gas or
other fluids in pipelines. Seamless line
pipes are produced to the API 5L
specification. Seamless pipes are
commonly produced and certified to
meet ASTM A–106, ASTM A–53 and
API 5L specifications. Such triple
certification of pipes is common
because all pipes meeting the stringent
ASTM A–106 specification necessarily
meet the API 5L and ASTM A–53
specifications. Pipes meeting the API 5L
specification necessarily meet the
ASTM A–53 specification. However,
pipes meeting the A–53 or API 5L
specifications do not necessarily meet
the A–106 specification. To avoid
maintaining separate production runs
and separate inventories, manufacturers
triple–certify the pipes. Since
distributors sell the vast majority of this
product, they can thereby maintain a
single inventory to service all
customers.
The primary application of ASTM A–
106 pressure pipes and triple–certified
pipes is in pressure piping systems by
refineries, petrochemical plants and
chemical plants. Other applications are
in power generation plants (electrical–
fossil fuel or nuclear), and in some oil
field uses (on shore and off shore) such
as for separator lines, gathering lines
and metering runs. A minor application
of this product is for use as oil and gas
distribution lines for commercial
applications. These applications
constitute the majority of the market for
the subject seamless pipes. However, A–
106 pipes may be used in some boiler
applications.
The scope of this order includes all
seamless pipe meeting the physical
parameters described above and
produced to one of the specifications
listed above, regardless of application,
and whether or not also certified to a
non–covered specification. Standard,
line and pressure applications and the
above–listed specifications are defining
characteristics of the scope of this order.
Therefore, seamless pipes meeting the
physical description above, but not
produced to the ASTM A–335, ASTM
A–106, ASTM A–53, or API 5L
standards shall be covered if used in a
standard, line or pressure application.
For example, there are certain other
ASTM specifications of pipe which,
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
because of overlapping characteristics,
could potentially be used in A–106
applications. These specifications
generally include A–162, A–192, A–210,
A–333, and A–524. When such pipes
are used in a standard, line or pressure
pipe application, such products are
covered by the scope of this order.
The HTSUS item numbers are
provided for convenience and Customs
purposes. The written description
remains dispositive.
Rescission of the Administrative
Review
Pursuant to the Department’s
regulations, the Department will rescind
an administrative review ‘‘if a party that
requested a review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review.’’ See 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1). Since the petitioner
withdrew its request for an
administrative review on December 13,
2005, which is within the 90-day
deadline, and no other party requested
a review with respect to these
companies, the Department is
rescinding this administrative review in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (‘‘APOs’’) 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/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. The
Department is issuing and publishing
this notice in accordance with section
777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).

review if we find the party requesting
the review was not eligible to make the
request.

Background
On July 27, 1999, the Department
published an antidumping duty order
on SSSS in coils from Italy. See
Amended Final Determination of Sales
at Less than Fair Value and
Antidumping Order; Stainless Steel
Sheet and Strip in Coils from Italy, 64
FR 40567 (July 27, 1999). On July 1,
2005, the Department published a notice
of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on SSSS in
coils from Italy. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 70
FR 38099 (July 1, 2005). On July 29,
2005, the Department received a timely
request for an administrative review
from petitioners of the antidumping
duty order on SSSS in coils from Italy
with respect to TKAST and its affiliates
for the period July 1, 2004, through June
30, 2005. On August 29, 2005, the
Department published the initiation of
an administrative review of SSSS in
coils from Italy covering the period of
July 1, 2004, through June 30, 2005. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation In
Part, 70 FR 51009 (August 29, 2005).
This review covers imports of SSSS in
coils from one producer/exporter,
TKAST.
On November 28, 2005, three of the
five original petitioners withdrew their
request for review (i.e., Allegheny
Ludlum Corporation, North American
Stainless, and the United Steelworkers).
On December 1, 2005, the Department
informed petitioners’ counsel that it
would not rescind the review unless all
five petitioners withdraw their request.
See Memorandum to the File from
Richard O. Weible, Office Director,
Regarding ‘‘Phone Conversation with
David Hartquist,’’ dated December 6,
2005. On December 6, 2005, all five of
the petitioners withdrew their request
that the Department conduct an
administrative review of TKAST.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
certain stainless steel sheet and strip 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 sheet and strip is
a flat–rolled product in coils that is
greater than 9.5 mm in width and less
