SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 28, 2004, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(b), domestic interested
party Allied Tube and Conduit
Corporation requested a review of the
Borusan Group and Toscelik Profil ve
Sac Endustrisi A.S. (‘‘Toscelik’’),
producers of certain welded carbon steel
pipe and tube (‘‘welded pipe and tube’’)
from Turkey. On July 1, 2008, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published a notice of
initiation of administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on welded pipe
and tube from Turkey, for the period
May 1, 2007, through April 30, 2008.
See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocations in
Part, 73 FR 37409 (July 1, 2008). On July
8, 2008, Toscelik informed the
Department that it had no sales,
shipments or entries of subject
merchandise in or to the United States,
during the period of review. On October
10, 2008, the Department published a
notice of intent to rescind the
administrative review in part. See

Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
include circular welded non–alloy steel
pipes and tubes, of circular crosssection, not more than 406.4 millimeters
(16 inches) in outside diameter,
regardless of wall thickness, surface
finish (black, or galvanized, painted), or
end finish (plain end, beveled end,
threaded and coupled). Those pipes and
tubes are generally known as standard
pipe, though they may also be called
structural or mechanical tubing in
certain applications. Standard pipes and
tubes are intended for the low pressure
conveyance of water, steam, natural gas,
air, and other liquids and gases in
plumbing and heating systems, air
conditioner units, automatic sprinkler
systems, and other related uses.
Standard pipe may also be used for light
load–bearing and mechanical
applications, such as for fence tubing,
and for protection of electrical wiring,
such as conduit shells.
The scope is not limited to standard
pipe and fence tubing, or those types of
mechanical and structural pipe that are
used in standard pipe applications. All
carbon steel pipes and tubes within the
physical description outlined above are
included in the scope of this order,
except for line pipe, oil country tubular
goods, boiler tubing, cold–drawn or
cold–rolled mechanical tubing, pipe and
tube hollows for redraws, finished
scaffolding, and finished rigid conduit.
Imports of these products are
currently classifiable under the
following Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’)
subheadings: 7306.30.10.00,
7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32,
7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55,
7306.30.50.85, and 7306.30.50.90.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, our written description of the
scope of this proceeding is dispositive.
Rescission of Administrative Review
On October 10, 2008, the Department
published in the Federal Register its
intent to rescind the administrative
review in part. See Notice of Intent to
Rescind. In that notice we stated that
since our examination of the entry data
from U.S. Customs and Border
Protection for Toscelik confirmed its
assertion that it did not have shipments
to the United States during the POR, we
intended to rescind this review with
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
respect to Toscelik. Furthermore, we
received no comments. Consequently,
the Department continues to treat
Toscelik as a non–shipper for purposes
of this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department may rescind an
administrative review with respect to a
particular exporter or producer if the
Department concludes that during the
POR there were no entries, exports, or
sales of the subject merchandise.
Because there is no record evidence of
entries, exports or sales of the subject
merchandise by Toscelik, we are
rescinding this review in part.
As a result of the rescission of this
administrative review with respect to
Toscelik, only one respondent, the
Borusan Group, remains in this review.
We are issuing this notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930 as
amended, and section 351.213(d)(4) of
the Department’s regulations.

2008, supplemental questionnaire
response, we received a supplemental
case brief from Micron on December 17,
2008 and a supplemental rebuttal brief
from Hynix on December 22, 2008.
On November 28, 2008, we extended
the time limit for the final results of this
administrative review by 60 days (to
February 9, 2008), pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’). See Dynamic
Random Access Memory
Semiconductors From the Republic of
Korea: Extension of Time Limit for Final
Results of the Countervailing Duty
Administrative Review, 73 FR 72449
(November 28, 2008).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
dynamic random access memory
semiconductors (‘‘DRAMS’’) from the
Republic of Korea (‘‘ROK’’), whether
assembled or unassembled. Assembled
DRAMS include all package types.
Unassembled DRAMS include
processed wafers, uncut die, and cut
die. Processed wafers fabricated in the
PO 00000

ROK, but assembled into finished
semiconductors outside the ROK are
also included in the scope. Processed
wafers fabricated outside the ROK and
assembled into finished semiconductors
in the ROK are not included in the
scope.
The scope of the order additionally
includes memory modules containing
DRAMS from the ROK. A memory
module is a collection of DRAMS, the
sole function of which is memory.
Memory modules include single in–line
processing modules, single in–line
memory modules, dual in–line memory
modules, small outline dual in–line
memory modules, Rambus in–line
memory modules, and memory cards or
other collections of DRAMS, whether
unmounted or mounted on a circuit
board. Modules that contain other parts
that are needed to support the function
of memory are covered. Only those
modules that contain additional items
which alter the function of the module
to something other than memory, such
as video graphics adapter boards and
cards, are not included in the scope.
The scope also covers future DRAMS
module types.
The scope of the order additionally
includes, but is not limited to, video
random access memory and
synchronous graphics random access
memory, as well as various types of
DRAMS, including fast page–mode,
extended data–out, burst extended data–
out, synchronous dynamic RAM,
Rambus DRAM, and Double Data Rate
DRAM. The scope also includes any
future density, packaging, or assembling
of DRAMS. Also included in the scope
of this order are removable memory
modules placed on motherboards, with
or without a central processing unit,
unless the importer of the motherboards
certifies with U.S. customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) that neither it, nor a
party related to it or under contract to
it, will remove the modules from the
motherboards after importation. The
scope of the order does not include
DRAMS or memory modules that are re–
imported for repair or replacement.
The DRAMS subject to the order are
currently classifiable under subheadings
8542.21.8005, 8542.21.8020 through
8542.21.8030, and 8542.32.0001 through
8542.32.0023 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’). The memory modules
containing DRAMS from the ROK,
described above, are currently
classifiable under subheadings
8473.30.1040, 8473.30.1080,
8473.30.1140, and 8473.30.1180 of the
HTSUS. Removable memory modules
placed on motherboards are classifiable
under subheadings 8443.99.2500,
