rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)
of the regulations, an interested party as
defined by section 771(9) of the Act may
request in writing that the Secretary
conduct an administrative review. For
both antidumping and countervailing
duty reviews, the interested party must
specify the individual producers or
exporters covered by an antidumping
finding or an antidumping or
countervailing duty order or suspension
agreement for which it is requesting a
review, and the requesting party must
state why it desires the Secretary to
review those particular producers or
exporters.2 If the interested party
intends for the Secretary to review sales
of merchandise by an exporter (or a
producer if that producer also exports
merchandise from other suppliers)
which were produced in more than one
country of origin and each country of
origin is subject to a separate order, then
2 If the review request involves a non-market
economy and the parties subject to the review
request do not qualify for separate rates, all other
exporters of subject merchandise from the nonmarket economy country who do not have a
separate rate will be covered by the review as part
of the single entity of which the named firms are
a part.

the interested party must state
specifically, on an order-by-order basis,
which exporter(s) the request is
intended to cover.
Please note that, for any party the
Department was unable to locate in
prior segments, the Department will not
accept a request for an administrative
review of that party absent new
information as to the party’s location.
Moreover, if the interested party who
files a request for review is unable to
locate the producer or exporter for
which it requested the review, the
interested party must provide an
explanation of the attempts it made to
locate the producer or exporter at the
same time it files its request for review,
in order for the Secretary to determine
if the interested party’s attempts were
reasonable, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.303(f)(3)(ii).
As explained in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), the Department

Background
On April 3, 2008, the Department of
Commerce (Department) received
antidumping duty petitions filed in
proper form by the petitioners for the
imposition of antidumping duties on
certain circular welded carbon quality
steel line pipe (line pipe) from the
Republic of Korea (Korea) and the
People’s Republic of China (PRC),
alleging that line pipe from these
countries were being sold, or were likely
to be sold, in the United States at less
than fair value. The petitioners are
United States Steel Corporation,
Maverick Tube Corporation, Tex–Tube
Company, and the United Steel, Paper
and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:47 Nov 28, 2008
Jkt 217001
Energy, Allied Industrial and Service
Workers International Union, and AFL–
CIO-CLC (collectively, Petitioners). On
April 23, 2008, the Department initiated
antidumping duty investigations of line
pipe from Korea and the PRC. See
Certain Circular Welded Carbon Quality
Steel Line Pipe From the Republic of
Korea and the People’s Republic of
China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty
Investigations, 73 FR 23188 (April 29,
2008) (Initiation Notice).
On June 3, 2008, the International
Trade Commission preliminarily
determined that there is a reasonable
indication that an industry in the
United States is materially injured or
threatened with material injury by
reason of imports of line pipe from
Korea and the PRC. See Certain Circular
Welded Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe
from China and Korea, 73 FR 31712
(June 3, 2008).
On November 6, 2008, we published
in the Federal Register the preliminary
determination in the Korean
investigation, concurrently postponing
the final determination until no later
than March 21, 2009. See Preliminary
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Postponement of the
Final Determination: Certain Circular
Welded Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe
from the Republic of Korea, 73 FR 66020
(November 6, 2008).
Scope of Investigation
The merchandise that is the subject of
this investigation is circular welded
carbon quality steel pipe of a kind used
for oil and gas pipelines (welded line
pipe), not more than 406.4 mm (16
inches) in outside diameter, regardless
of wall thickness, length, surface finish,
end finish or stenciling.
The term ‘‘carbon quality steel’’
includes both carbon steel and carbon
steel mixed with small amounts of
alloying elements that may exceed the
individual weight limits for nonalloy
steels imposed in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Specifically, the term ‘‘carbon quality’’
includes products in which (1) iron
predominates by weight over each of the
other contained elements, (2) the carbon
content is 2 percent or less by weight
and (3) none of the elements listed
below exceeds the quantity by weight
respectively indicated:
(i) 2.00 percent of manganese,
(ii) 2.25 percent of silicon,
(iii) 1.00 percent of copper,
(iv) 0.50 percent of aluminum,
(v) 1.25 percent of chromium,
(vi) 0.30 percent of cobalt,
(vii) 0.40 percent of lead,
(viii) 1.25 percent of nickel,
(ix) 0.30 percent of tungsten,
PO 00000
Frm 00006

(x) 0.012 percent of boron,
(xi) 0.50 percent of molybdenum,
(xii) 0.15 percent of niobium,
(xiii) 0.41 percent of titanium,
(xiv) 0.15 percent of vanadium, or
(xv) 0.15 percent of zirconium.
Welded line pipe is normally
produced to specifications published by
the American Petroleum Institute (API)
(or comparable foreign specifications)
including API A–25, 5LA, 5LB, and X
grades from 42 and above, and/or any
other proprietary grades or non–graded
material. Nevertheless, all pipe meeting
the physical description set forth above
that is of a kind used in oil and gas
pipelines, including all multiple–
stenciled pipe with an API line pipe
stencil is covered by the scope of this
investigation.
The line pipe products that are the
subject of this investigation are
currently classifiable in the HTSUS
under subheadings 7306.19.10.10,
7306.19.10.50, 7306.19.51.10, and
7306.19.51.50. While HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
investigation is dispositive.
Termination of Antidumping Duty
Investigation
On November 17, 2008, the
Department received a letter from
Petitioners notifying the Department
that they are no longer interested in
seeking relief and are withdrawing their
petition on line pipe from Korea. Under
section 734(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), upon
withdrawal of a petition, the
administering authority may terminate
an investigation after giving notice to all
parties to the investigation. Further, 19
CFR 351.207(b)(1) states that the
Department may terminate an
investigation upon withdrawal of a
petition, provided it concludes that
termination is in the public interest. On
November 18, 2008, we notified all
interested parties to the investigation of
our intent to terminate this
investigation, and provided them an
opportunity to comment on the
proposed termination. See
Memorandum to the File from Dena
Crossland, Case Analyst, through
Angelica L. Mendoza, Program Manager,
Office 7, dated November 21, 2008. We
received no comments from any party to
this investigation.
As no party objects to this termination
and the Department is not aware of any
evidence to the contrary, the
Department finds that termination of
this investigation is in the public
interest. As such, we are terminating
this antidumping duty investigation and

------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b) of the regulations, an
interested party as defined by section 771(9) of the Act may request in
writing that the Secretary conduct an administrative review. For both
antidumping and countervailing duty reviews, the interested party must
specify the individual producers or exporters covered by an antidumping
finding or an antidumping or countervailing duty order or suspension
agreement for which it is requesting a review, and the requesting party
must state why it desires the Secretary to review those particular
producers or exporters.\2\ If the interested party intends for the
Secretary to review sales of merchandise by an exporter (or a producer
if that producer also exports merchandise from other suppliers) which
were produced in more than one country of origin and each country of
origin is subject to a separate order, then the interested party must
state specifically, on an order-by-order basis, which exporter(s) the
request is intended to cover.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ If the review request involves a non-market economy and the
parties subject to the review request do not qualify for separate
rates, all other exporters of subject merchandise from the non-
market economy country who do not have a separate rate will be
covered by the review as part of the single entity of which the
named firms are a part.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note that, for any party the Department was unable to locate
in prior segments, the Department will not accept a request for an
administrative review of that party absent new information as to the
party's location. Moreover, if the interested party who files a request
for review is unable to locate the producer or exporter for which it
requested the review, the interested party must provide an explanation
of the attempts it made to locate the producer or exporter at the same
time it files its request for review, in order for the Secretary to
determine if the interested party's attempts were reasonable, pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii).
As explained in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), the
Department has clarified its practice with respect to the collection of
final antidumping duties on imports of merchandise where intermediate
firms are involved. The public should be aware of this clarification in
determining whether to request an administrative review of merchandise
subject to antidumping findings and orders. See also the Import
Administration Web site at https://ia.ita.doc.gov.
Six copies of the request should be submitted to the Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, Room 1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street &
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. The Department also
asks parties to serve a copy of their requests to the Office of
Antidumping/Countervailing Duty Operations, Attention: Sheila Forbes,
in room 3065 of the main Commerce Building. Further, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.303(f)(l)(i) of the regulations, a copy of each request must
be served on every party on the Department's service list.
The Department will publish in the Federal Register a notice of
``Initiation of Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation'' for requests received
by the last day of December 2008. If the Department does not receive,
by the last day of December 2008, a request for
[[Page 72766]]
review of entries covered by an order, finding, or suspended
investigation listed in this notice and for the period identified
above, the Department will instruct the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to assess antidumping or countervailing duties on those
entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or bond for) estimated
antidumping or countervailing duties required on those entries at the
time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption and to
continue to collect the cash deposit previously ordered.
This notice is not required by statute but is published as a
service to the international trading community.
Dated: November 25, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Duty Operations.
