Pipe from the People’s Republic of
China: Final Affirmative Countervailing
Duty Determination, 74 FR 4936
(January 28, 2009) (Final
Determination). On March 11, 2009, the
ITC notified the Department of its final
determination pursuant to section
705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), that an industry
in the United States is materially
injured by reason of subsidized imports
of subject merchandise from the PRC.
See Letter from the ITC to the Secretary
of Commerce, ‘‘Notification of Final
Affirmative Determination of Welded
Stainless Pressure Pipe from China
(Investigation Nos. 701–TA–454 and
731–TA–1144 (Final), USITC
Publication 4064, March 2009),’’ March
11, 2009. Pursuant to section 736(a) of
the Act, the Department is publishing a
countervailing duty order on the subject
merchandise.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
investigation is circular welded
austenitic stainless pressure pipe not
greater than 14 inches in outside
diameter. This merchandise includes,
but is not limited to, the American
Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) A–312 or ASTM A–778

7306.40.5080, and 7306.40.5090. The
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes
only; the written description of the
scope is dispositive.
Countervailing Duty Order
In accordance with section 705(d) of
the Act on January 28, 2009, the
Department published its final
determination in the countervailing
duty investigation of CWASPP from the
PRC. See Final Determination, 74 FR
4936. On February 5, 2009, the
Department terminated suspension of
liquidation in accordance with 703(d) of
the Act, effective November 7, 2008.
Section 703(d) of the Act states that the
suspension of liquidation pursuant to a
preliminary determination may not
remain in effect for more than four
months.
On March 11, 2009, in accordance
with section 705(d) of the Act, the ITC
notified the Department of its final
determination that the industry in the
United States producing welded
stainless steel pressure pipe is
materially injured within the meaning
of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by
reason of subsidized imports of welded
stainless steel pressure pipe from the
PRC. Therefore, countervailing duties
will be assessed on all unliquidated
entries of CWASPP from the PRC
entered or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption, on or after July 10,
2008, the date on which the Department
published its preliminary affirmative
countervailing duty determination in
the Federal Register, and before
November 7, 2008, the date on which
the Department instructed CBP to
discontinue the suspension of
liquidation in accordance with section
703(d) of the Act. See Circular Welded
Austenitic Stainless Pressure Pipe From

or after November 7, 2008, and prior to
the date of publication of the ITC’s final
determination in the Federal Register
are not liable for the assessment of
countervailing duties due to the
Department’s discontinuation, effective
November 7, 2008, of the suspension of
liquidation.
In accordance with section 706(a)(1)
of the Act, the Department will direct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess, upon further instruction
by the Department, countervailing
duties equal to the amounts of the net
countervailable subsidy for all relevant
entries of CWASPP from the PRC.
In accordance with section 706 of the
Act, the Department will direct CBP to
suspend liquidation, effective the date
of publication of the ITC’s final
determination in the Federal Register,
and to require a cash deposit for each
entry of the subject merchandise in an
amount based on the net countervailable
subsidy rates for the subject
merchandise as noted in the Final
Determination.
This notice constitutes the
countervailing duty order with respect
to CWASPP from the PRC pursuant to
section 706(a) of the Act. Interested
parties may contact the Department’s
Central Records Unit, Room 1117 of the
main Department Building, for copies of

sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Background
On October 6, 2008, the Department
published the antidumping duty order
on steel wire garment hangers from the
People’s Republic of China. See Notice
of Antidumping Duty Order: Steel Wire
Garment Hangers from the People’s
Republic of China, 73 FR 58111
(October 6, 2008). On February 3, 2009,
the Department received a request on
behalf of M&B Metal Products
Company, Inc. (‘‘Petitioner’’) for a
changed circumstances review to
revoke, in part, the antidumping duty
order on steel wire garment hangers
from the People’s Republic of China
with respect to chrome–plated steel
wire garment hangers with a diameter of
3.4 mm or greater. We did not receive
comments from any other party.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise that is subject to the
order is steel wire garment hangers,
fabricated from carbon steel wire,
whether or not galvanized or painted,
whether or not coated with latex or
epoxy or similar gripping materials,
and/or whether or not fashioned with
paper covers or capes (with or without
printing) and/or nonslip features such
as saddles or tubes. These products may
also be referred to by a commercial
designation, such as shirt, suit, strut,
caped, or latex (industrial) hangers.
Specifically excluded from the scope of
the order are wooden, plastic, and other
garment hangers that are not made of
steel wire. The products subject to the
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:17 Mar 18, 2009
Jkt 217001
order are currently classified under
HTSUS subheadings 7326.20.0020 and
7323.99.9060.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Initiation and Preliminary Results of
Changed Circumstances Review, and
Intent to Revoke Order in Part
At the request of Petitioner, and in
accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and
(d)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.216,
the Department is initiating a changed
circumstances review of steel wire
garment hangers from the People’s
Republic of China to determine whether
partial revocation of the antidumping
duty order is warranted with respect to
chrome–plated steel wire garment
hangers with a diameter of 3.4 mm or
greater. Section 782(h)(2) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i) provide that the
Department may revoke an order (in
whole or in part) if it determines that
producers accounting for substantially
all of the production of the domestic
like product have no further interest in
the order, in whole or in part. In
addition, in the event the Department
determines that expedited action is
warranted, 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii)
permits the Department to combine the
notices of initiation and preliminary
results.
In accordance with section 751(b) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(l)(i) and
351.221(c)(3), we are initiating this
changed circumstances review and have
determined that expedited action is
warranted. Petitioner stated in its
February 3, 2009, request that itself,
Shanti Industries Inc., and Metro
Supply Company account for all or
substantially all of the steel wire
garment hangers production in the
United States. Petitioner further stated
that Shanti Industries Inc., and Metro
Supply Company support the request
for changed circumstances review as
filed by Petitioner on February 3, 2009.
In accordance with section 751(b) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i), we find
Petitioner, along with the other
domestic producers supporting the
request, comprise substantially all of the
production of the domestic like product.
See Petitioner’s Request for Changed
Circumstances Review dated February
3, 2009. Petitioner has expressed a lack
of interest in the order, in part, with
respect to chrome–plated steel wire
garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4
mm or greater. Because this changed
circumstances request was filed less
than 24 months after the date of
publication of notice of the final
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
determination in an investigation,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.216(c), the
Department must determine whether
good cause exists. We find that
Petitioners’ affirmative statement of no
interest in the order with respect to
chrome–plated steel wire garment
hangers with a diameter of 3.4 mm or
greater constitutes good cause for the
conduct of this review. Based on the
expression of no interest by Petitioner
and the supporting domestic producers,
and absent any objection by any other
interested parties, we have preliminarily
determined that the domestic producers
of the like product have no interest in
the continued application of the
antidumping duty order on steel wire
garment hangers to the merchandise that
is subject to this request. Accordingly,
we are notifying the public of our intent
to revoke, in part, the antidumping duty
order as it relates to imports of chrome–
plated steel wire garment hangers with
a diameter of 3.4 mm or greater.
Therefore, we intend to change the
scope of the order on steel wire garment
hangers from the People’s Republic of
China to include the following
exclusion: Excluded from the scope are
chrome–plated steel wire garment
hangers with a diameter of 3.4 mm or
greater.
Public Comment
Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.
Written comments may be submitted no
later than 14 days after the date of
publication of these preliminary results.
Rebuttals to written comments, limited
to issues raised in such comments, may
be filed no later than 21 days after the
date of publication of these preliminary
results. The Department will issue the
final results of this changed
circumstances review, which will
include its analysis of any written
comments, no later than 270 days after
the date on which this review was
initiated, or within 45 days if all parties
agree to our preliminary results. See 19
CFR 351.216(e).
If final revocation occurs, we will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to end the suspension of
liquidation for the merchandise covered
by the revocation on the effective date
of the notice of revocation and to release
any cash deposit or bond. See 19 CFR
351.222(g)(4). The current requirement
for a cash deposit of estimated
antidumping duties on all subject
merchandise will continue unless and
until it is modified pursuant to the final
results of this changed circumstances
review.
This initiation and preliminary results
of review and notice are in accordance

Therefore, we are notifying the public of our intent to revoke, in

Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14\th\ Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington DC
20230; telephone (202) 482-3207.
Background
On October 6, 2008, the Department published the antidumping duty
order on steel wire garment hangers from the People's Republic of
China. See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Steel Wire Garment Hangers
from the People's Republic of China, 73 FR 58111 (October 6, 2008). On
February 3, 2009, the Department received a request on behalf of M&B
Metal Products Company, Inc. (``Petitioner'') for a changed
circumstances review to revoke, in part, the antidumping duty order on
steel wire garment hangers from the People's Republic of China with
respect to chrome-plated steel wire garment hangers with a diameter of
3.4 mm or greater. We did not receive comments from any other party.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise that is subject to the order is steel wire garment
hangers, fabricated from carbon steel wire, whether or not galvanized
or painted, whether or not coated with latex or epoxy or similar
gripping materials, and/or whether or not fashioned with paper covers
or capes (with or without printing) and/or nonslip features such as
saddles or tubes. These products may also be referred to by a
commercial designation, such as shirt, suit, strut, caped, or latex
(industrial) hangers. Specifically excluded from the scope of the order
are wooden, plastic, and other garment hangers that are not made of
steel wire. The products subject to the order are currently classified
under HTSUS subheadings 7326.20.0020 and 7323.99.9060.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise is
dispositive.
Initiation and Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review, and
Intent to Revoke Order in Part
At the request of Petitioner, and in accordance with sections
751(b)(1) and (d)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''),
and 19 CFR 351.216, the Department is initiating a changed
circumstances review of steel wire garment hangers from the People's
Republic of China to determine whether partial revocation of the
antidumping duty order is warranted with respect to chrome-plated steel
wire garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4 mm or greater. Section
782(h)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i) provide that the
Department may revoke an order (in whole or in part) if it determines
that producers accounting for substantially all of the production of
the domestic like product have no further interest in the order, in
whole or in part. In addition, in the event the Department determines
that expedited action is warranted, 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii) permits
the Department to combine the notices of initiation and preliminary
results.
In accordance with section 751(b) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.222(g)(l)(i) and 351.221(c)(3), we are initiating this changed
circumstances review and have determined that expedited action is
warranted. Petitioner stated in its February 3, 2009, request that
itself, Shanti Industries Inc., and Metro Supply Company account for
all or substantially all of the steel wire garment hangers production
in the United States. Petitioner further stated that Shanti Industries
Inc., and Metro Supply Company support the request for changed
circumstances review as filed by Petitioner on February 3, 2009. In
accordance with section 751(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i),
we find Petitioner, along with the other domestic producers supporting
the request, comprise substantially all of the production of the
domestic like product. See Petitioner's Request for Changed
Circumstances Review dated February 3, 2009. Petitioner has expressed a
lack of interest in the order, in part, with respect to chrome-plated
steel wire garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4 mm or greater.
Because this changed circumstances request was filed less than 24
months after the date of publication of notice of the final
determination in an investigation, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.216(c), the
Department must determine whether good cause exists. We find that
Petitioners' affirmative statement of no interest in the order with
respect to chrome-plated steel wire garment hangers with a diameter of
3.4 mm or greater constitutes good cause for the conduct of this
review. Based on the expression of no interest by Petitioner and the
supporting domestic producers, and absent any objection by any other
interested parties, we have preliminarily determined that the domestic
producers of the like product have no interest in the continued
application of the antidumping duty order on steel wire garment hangers
to the merchandise that is subject to this request. Accordingly, we are
notifying the public of our intent to revoke, in part, the antidumping
duty order as it relates to imports of chrome-plated steel wire garment
hangers with a diameter of 3.4 mm or greater. Therefore, we intend to
change the scope of the order on steel wire garment hangers from the
People's Republic of China to include the following exclusion: Excluded
from the scope are chrome-plated steel wire garment hangers with a

the date of publication of these preliminary results. Rebuttals to
written comments, limited to issues raised in such comments, may be

CFR 351.222(g)(4). The current requirement for a cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties on all subject merchandise will continue
unless and until it is modified pursuant to the final results of this
changed circumstances review.
