initiation from the domestic interested
party and respondent interested party
(Indorama Chemical (Thailand) Ltd.
(‘‘Indorama’’)) within the 30-day
deadline specified in the Department’s
regulations under section
351.218(d)(3)(i). On May 8, 2006, the
domestic interested party filed rebuttal
comments to Indorama’s substantive
response.
On May 23, 2006, the Department
determined that respondent interested
party accounted for more than 50
percent of exports by volume of the
subject merchandise and, therefore,
submitted an adequate substantive
response to the Department’s Notice of
Initiation. See Memorandum to Susan
H. Kuhbach, Director, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 1 ‘‘Adequacy
Determination in Antidumping Duty
Sunset Review of Furfuryl Alcohol
From Thailand,’’ (May 23, 2006). In
accordance with section 351.218(e)(2)(i)
of the Department’s regulations, the
Department determined to conduct a
full sunset review of this antidumping
duty order. On July 14, 2006, in
accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of
the Act, the Department extended the
deadlines for the preliminary and final
results of this sunset review by 90 days
from the originally scheduled dates. The
final results in the full sunset review of
this antidumping duty order are
scheduled on or before February 27,
2007.

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order is furfuryl alcohol
(C4H3OCH2OH). Furfuryl alcohol is a
primary alcohol, and is colorless or pale
yellow in appearance. It is used in the
manufacture of resins and as a wetting
agent and solvent for coating resins,
nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, and
other soluble dyes. The product subject
to this order is classifiable under
subheading 2932.13.00 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of this
proceeding is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this sunset review
are addressed in the ‘‘Issues and
Decision Memorandum for the Second
Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty
Order on Furfuryl Alcohol From
Thailand; Preliminary Results,’’ to
David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary
for Import Administration, dated
October 20, 2006 (‘‘Decision Memo’’),
which is hereby adopted by this notice.
The issues discussed in the Decision
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:21 Oct 25, 2006
Jkt 211001
Memo include the likelihood of
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and the magnitude of the margin likely
to prevail if the antidumping duty order
were revoked. Parties can find a
complete discussion of all issues raised
in this sunset review and the
corresponding recommendations in this
public memorandum, which is on file in
room B–099 of the main Department
building. In addition, a complete
version of the Decision Memo can be
accessed directly on the Web at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/frn/. The paper
copy and electronic version of the
Decision Memo are identical in content.
Preliminary Results of Review
The Department preliminarily
determines that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on furfuryl
alcohol from Thailand is not likely to
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
dumping. As a result of this
determination, the Department
preliminarily intends to revoke the
antidumping duty order on furfuryl
alcohol from Thailand, pursuant to
section 751(d)(2) of the Act. Consistent
with 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i) and section
751(c)(6)(A)(iii) of the Act, this
revocation would be effective May 4,
2006, the fifth anniversary of the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
the notice of continuation. See Notice of
Continuation of Antidumping Duty
Orders: Furfuryl Alcohol From the
People’s Republic of China and
Thailand, 66 FR 22519 (May 4, 2001).
We will notify the U.S. International
Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) of our final
results. We do not intend, however, to
report a rate to the ITC as a
determination by the Department that
revocation of the order would not lead
to a continuation or recurrence of
dumping will result in revocation of the
order. Moreover, the ITC has already
ruled in this proceeding.
If the antidumping duty order is
revoked, the Department will instruct
the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
to liquidate without regard to dumping
duties entries of the subject
merchandise entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption on or after
May 4, 2006, (the effective date), and to
discontinue collection of cash deposits
of antidumping duties.
Any interested party may request a
hearing within 30 days of publication of
this notice in accordance with 19 CFR
351.310(c). Consistent with 19 CFR
351.309(c)(1)(i), interested parties may
submit case briefs no later than 30 days
after the date of publication of this
notice. Rebuttal briefs, which must be
limited to issues raised in the case
briefs, may be filed no later than 5 days

after the time limit for filing the case
briefs, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.309(d)(1). Any hearing, if requested,
will be held two days after rebuttal
briefs are due, unless the Department
alters the date, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.310(d)(1). The Department
intends to issue a notice of final results
of this second sunset review, which will
include the results of its analysis of
issues raised in any such briefs, no later
than February 27, 2007.
This five-year (‘‘sunset’’) review and
notice are in accordance with sections
751(c), 752(c), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Scope of Changed Circumstances
Review
The products subject to this changed
circumstances review is LDLP with an
API grade X–80 having an outside
diameter of 21 inches and wall
thickness of 0.625 inch or more. See
Letter from Petitioners to the
Department dated July 17, 2006.
Pursuant to section 751(d)(1) of the
Act, the Department may revoke an
antidumping or countervailing duty
order, in whole or in part, based on a
review under section 751(b) of the Act
(i.e., a changed circumstances review).
Section 751(b)(1) of the Act requires a
changed circumstances review to be
conducted upon receipt of a request
which shows changed circumstances
sufficient to warrant a review. Section
351.222(g)(1) of the Department’s
regulations provides that the
Department may revoke an order (in
whole or in part) based on changed
circumstances, if it determines that: (i)
producers accounting for substantially
all of the production of the domestic
like product to which the order (or part
of the order to be revoked) pertains have
expressed a lack of interest in the relief
provided by the order, in whole or in
part, or (ii) if other changed
circumstances sufficient to warrant
revocation exist. Taking into
consideration that (1) the petitioners
have uniformly expressed that they do
not want relief with respect to this
particular sub–product, and that (2)
there have been no contrary expressions
from the remainder of the known
domestic or U.S. LDLP producers, the
Department is revoking the order on
certain welded large diameter line pipe
from Japan, effective on the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, with respect to all future
entries for consumption of welded large
diameter line pipe which meet the
specifications detailed above, in
accordance with sections 751(b) and (d)
and 782(h) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.216. We will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to terminate
suspension of liquidation for all future
entries of certain large diameter welded

Scope of Changed Circumstances Review
The products subject to this changed circumstances review is LDLP

thickness of 0.625 inch or more. See Letter from Petitioners to the
Department dated July 17, 2006.
Pursuant to section 751(d)(1) of the Act, the Department may revoke
an antidumping or countervailing duty order, in whole or in part, based
on a review under section 751(b) of the Act (i.e., a changed
circumstances review). Section 751(b)(1) of the Act requires a changed
circumstances review to be conducted upon receipt of a request which
shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review. Section
351.222(g)(1) of the Department's regulations provides that the
Department may revoke an order (in whole or in part) based on changed
circumstances, if it determines that: (i) producers accounting for
substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to
which the order (or part of the order to be revoked) pertains have
expressed a lack of interest in the relief provided by the order, in
whole or in part, or (ii) if other changed circumstances sufficient to
warrant revocation exist. Taking into consideration that (1) the
petitioners have uniformly expressed that they do not want relief with
respect to this particular sub-product, and that (2) there have been no
contrary expressions from the remainder of the known domestic or U.S.
LDLP producers, the Department is revoking the order on certain welded
large diameter line pipe from Japan, effective on the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, with respect to all
future entries for consumption of welded large diameter line pipe which
meet the specifications detailed above, in accordance with sections
751(b) and (d) and 782(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216. We will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to terminate suspension of
liquidation for all future entries of certain large diameter welded
[[Page 62586]]
line pipe meeting the specifications indicated above.
This determination is issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(b)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.216 and
351.222.
Dated: October 20, 2006.
