SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 7, 2008, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on circular welded pipes and tubes from
Thailand. See Circular Welded Carbon
Steel Pipes and Tubes from Thailand:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR
18749 (April 7, 2008) (Preliminary
Results).
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department stated its intention to
request additional information from
Saha Thai on certain issues for which
the record of this administrative review
was not completely clear. On April 11,
2008, we issued a supplemental
questionnaire to Saha Thai and its
affiliated resellers. Saha Thai submitted
its response on May 5, 2008.
We invited parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. On April 23, 2008,
we revised the due dates for comments
and informed parties of the same. On
May 21 and May 28, 2008, we received
timely case briefs and rebuttal briefs,
respectively, from both petitioners and
respondent.
On July 22, 2008, the Department
extended the final results from August
5, 2008 to October 6, 2008. See Circular
Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes
from Thailand: Extension of Time Limit
for Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 73 FR 42548
(July 22, 2008).
Period of Review
The period of review (POR) is March
1, 2006 through February 28, 2007.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this
antidumping order are certain welded
carbon steel pipes and tubes from
Thailand. The subject merchandise has
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
61019
an outside diameter of 0.375 inches or
more, but not exceeding 16 inches.
These products, which are commonly
referred to in the industry as ‘‘standard
pipe’’ or ‘‘structural tubing,’’ are
hereinafter designated as ‘‘pipes and
tubes.’’ The merchandise is classifiable
under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTSUS) item
numbers 7306.30.1000, 7306.30.5025,
7306.30.5032, 7306.30.5040,
7306.30.5055, 7306.30.5085, and
7306.30.5090. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and purposes of U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP),
our written description of the scope of
the order is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
The issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs by parties to this
administrative review are addressed in
the Memorandum from Stephen J.
Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration to David M.
Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration: Issues and Decision
Memorandum for the Final Results of
the Administrative Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order on Circular
Welded Pipes and Tubes from Thailand
(Decision Memorandum), dated
concurrently with this notice and which
is hereby adopted by this notice. A list
of the issues addressed in the Decision
Memorandum is appended to this
notice. The Decision Memorandum is on
file in the Central Records Unit, room
1117 of the main Department of
Commerce building (CRU), and can be
accessed directly on the Web at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The paper copy and
electronic version of the Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments
received and our consideration of
information submitted by Saha Thai on
May 5, 2008 in its supplemental
questionnaire response, received
subsequent to the issuance of the
preliminary results, we have made
adjustments to our margin calculations.
We have granted Saha Thai a duty
drawback adjustment under section
772(c)(1)(B) the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), based on the
exemption of import duties on raw
materials used in the exported pipes
and tube. However, we have adjusted
the calculation of the yield factor used
in calculating this duty drawback
adjustment. We also added the value of
these exempted import duties to the cost
of manufacture. For these final results,
we decided to use the U.S. customs duty
as reported by Saha Thai. In addition,
