Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the People's Republic of China: Notice of Antidumping Duty Order, 17154-17156 [E9-8630]

Download as PDF 17154 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 70 / Tuesday, April 14, 2009 / Notices enriched or fortified or containing milk or other optional ingredients such as chopped vegetables, vegetable purees, milk, gluten, diastases, vitamins, coloring and flavorings, and up to two percent egg white. The pasta covered by this scope is typically sold in the retail market, in fiberboard or cardboard cartons, or polyethylene or polypropylene bags of varying dimensions. Excluded from the scope of this review are refrigerated, frozen, or canned pastas, as well as all forms of egg pasta, with the exception of non–egg dry pasta containing up to two percent egg white. The merchandise subject to review is currently classifiable under item 1902.19.20 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise subject to the order is dispositive. Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.216, the Department will conduct a changed circumstances review upon receipt of information concerning, or a request from an interested party for review of, an antidumping duty order which shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review of the order. In this case, the Department finds that the information submitted by the respondent provided sufficient evidence of changed circumstances to warrant a review to determine whether Marsan is the successor–in-interest to Gidasa. Thus, in accordance with section 751(b) of the Act, the Department initiated a changed circumstances review to determine whether Marsan is the successor–in-interest to Gidasa for purposes of determining antidumping duty liability with respect to imports of certain pasta from Turkey. In making a successor–in-interest determination, the Department examines several factors including, but not limited to, changes in: (1) management; (2) production facilities; (3) supplier relationships; and (4) customer base. See, e.g., Notice of Final Results of Changed Circumstances Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Polychloroprene Rubber From Japan, 67 FR 58 (January 2, 2002); Brass Sheet and Strip from Canada: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 57 FR 20460 (May 13, 1992). While no single factor or combination of factors will VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:39 Apr 13, 2009 Jkt 217001 necessarily provide a dispositive indication of a successor–in-interest relationship, the Department will generally consider the new company to be the successor to the previous company if the new company’s resulting operation is not materially dissimilar to that of its predecessor. See, e.g., Fresh and Chilled Atlantic Salmon from Norway; Final Results of Changed Circumstances Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 64 FR 9979 (March 1, 1999); Industrial Phosphoric Acid from Israel; Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review, 59 FR 6944 (February 14, 1994). Thus, if the evidence demonstrates that, with respect to the production and sale of the subject merchandise, the new company operates as the same business entity as the former company, the Department will accord the new company the same antidumping treatment as its predecessor. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(i), we preliminarily determine that Marsan is the successor– in-interest to Gidasa. In its December 3, 2008, and March 16, 2009, submissions Marsan provided evidence supporting its claim to be the successor–in-interest to Gidasa. Documentation attached to Marsan’s December 3, 2008, submission shows that the acquisition of Gidasa by MGS Marmara Gida Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (‘‘MGS’’) and the following name change to Marsan resulted in little or no change in management, production facilities, supplier relationships, or customer base. This documentation consists of: (1) organizational charts of both Marsan and Gidasa; (2) the documentation of the name change from Gidasa to Marsan; (3) a list of products before and after the acquisition of Gidasa by MGS; (4) a list of suppliers before and after the name change from Gidasa to Marsan; (5) a list of home market and U.S. customers before and after the name change from Gidasa to Marsan; (6) MGS’s articles and notice of incorporation; (7) MGS’s 2007 management report to shareholders; and (8) MGS’s 2008 draft income statement and balance sheet. The documentation described above demonstrates that there was little to no change in management structure, supplier relationships, production facilities, or customer base and, thus, the operations of Marsan are essentially the same as the operations of Gidasa. Therefore, we preliminarily find that Marsan is the successor–in-interest to Gidasa and, thus, should receive the same antidumping duty treatment with respect certain pasta from Turkey as the former Gidasa.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), on February 27, 2009, the Department published its final determination of sales at less than fair value in the antidumping investigation of STR from the PRC. See Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the People’s Republic of China: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 74 FR 8907 (February 27, 2009). Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by this order is steel threaded rod. Steel threaded rod is certain threaded rod, bar, or studs, of carbon quality steel, having a solid, circular cross section, of any diameter, in any straight length, that have been forged, turned, cold–drawn, cold–rolled, machine straightened, or otherwise cold–finished, and into which threaded grooves have been applied. In addition, the steel threaded rod, bar, or studs subject to this order are non– headed and threaded along greater than 25 percent of their total length. A variety of finishes or coatings, such as plain oil finish as a temporary rust protectant, zinc coating (i.e., galvanized, whether by electroplating or hot– dipping), paint, and other similar finishes and coatings, may be applied to the merchandise. Included in the scope of this order are steel threaded rod, bar, or studs, 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: • 1.80 percent of manganese, or • 1.50 percent of silicon, or • 1.00 percent of copper, or • 0.50 percent of aluminum, or • 1.25 percent of chromium, or 1 See April 3, 2009, Memorandum to the File, From Toni Dach, International Trade Analyst, VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:39 Apr 13, 2009 Jkt 217001 • 0.30 percent of cobalt, or • 0.40 percent of lead, or • 1.25 percent of nickel, or • 0.30 percent of tungsten, or • 0.012 percent of boron, or • 0.10 percent of molybdenum, or • 0.10 percent of niobium, or • 0.41 percent of titanium, or • 0.15 percent of vanadium, or • 0.15 percent of zirconium. Steel threaded rod is currently classifiable under subheading 7318.15.5050, 7318.15.5090, and 7318.15.2095 of the United States Harmonized Tariff Schedule (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise is dispositive. Excluded from the scope of the order are: (a) threaded rod, bar, or studs which are threaded only on one or both ends and the threading covers 25 percent or less of the total length; and (b) threaded rod, bar, or studs made to American Society for Testing and Materials (‘‘ASTM’’) A193 Grade B7, ASTM A193 Grade B7M, ASTM A193 Grade B16, or ASTM A320 Grade L7. Scope–HTSUS Modification On April 1, 2009, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) requested that the Department add HTSUS category 7318.15.2095 as an HTSUS category under which steel threaded rod may be classifiable. Therefore, the Department has modified the scope to reflect the new HTSUS category.1 Antidumping Duty Order On April 6, 2009, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified the Department of its final determination, pursuant to section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of less– than-fair–value imports of subject merchandise from the PRC. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise for all relevant entries of STR from the PRC. These antidumping duties will be assessed on all unliquidated entries of STR from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from the warehouse, for consumption on or after October 8, Regarding: Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17155 2008, the date on which the Department published its preliminary determination. See Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 73 FR 58931 (October 8, 2008). Section 733(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request the Department to extend that four–month period to no more than six months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion of STR exports, we extended the four– month period to no more than six months. See Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the People’s Republic of China: Amended Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 73 FR 63693 (October 27, 2008). In this investigation, the six–month period beginning on the date of the publication of the preliminary determination ended on April 8, 2009. Furthermore, section 737 of the Act states that definitive duties are to begin on the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our practice, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of STR from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after April 8, 2009, and before the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on or after the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination in the Federal Register. Effective on the date of publication of the ITC’s final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP, pursuant to section 735(c)(3) of the Act, will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted–average antidumping duty margins as listed below.

Background

    In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (``Act''), on February 27, 2009, the Department 
published its final determination of sales at less than fair value in 
the antidumping investigation of STR from the PRC. See Certain Steel 
Threaded Rod from the People's Republic of China: Final Determination 
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 74 FR 8907 (February 27, 2009).

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by this order is steel threaded rod. Steel 
threaded rod is certain threaded rod, bar, or studs, of carbon quality 
steel, having a solid, circular cross section, of any diameter, in any 
straight length, that have been forged, turned, cold-drawn, cold-
rolled, machine straightened, or otherwise cold-finished, and into 
which threaded grooves have been applied. In addition, the steel 
threaded rod, bar, or studs subject to this order are non-headed and 
threaded along greater than 25 percent of their total length. A variety 
of finishes or coatings, such as plain oil finish as a temporary rust 
protectant, zinc coating (i.e., galvanized, whether by electroplating 
or hot-dipping), paint, and other similar finishes and coatings, may be 
applied to the merchandise.
    Included in the scope of this order are steel threaded rod, bar, or 
studs, 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:
 1.80 percent of manganese, or
 1.50 percent of silicon, or
 1.00 percent of copper, or
 0.50 percent of aluminum, or
 1.25 percent of chromium, or
 0.30 percent of cobalt, or
 0.40 percent of lead, or
 1.25 percent of nickel, or
 0.30 percent of tungsten, or
 0.012 percent of boron, or
 0.10 percent of molybdenum, or
 0.10 percent of niobium, or
 0.41 percent of titanium, or
 0.15 percent of vanadium, or
 0.15 percent of zirconium.
    Steel threaded rod is currently classifiable under subheading 
7318.15.5050, 7318.15.5090, and 7318.15.2095 of the United States 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (``HTSUS''). Although the HTSUS subheading 
is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written 
description of the merchandise is dispositive.
    Excluded from the scope of the order are: (a) threaded rod, bar, or 
studs which are threaded only on one or both ends and the threading 
covers 25 percent or less of the total length; and (b) threaded rod, 
bar, or studs made to American Society for Testing and Materials

Scope-HTSUS Modification

    On April 1, 2009, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') 
requested that the Department add HTSUS category 7318.15.2095 as an 
HTSUS category under which steel threaded rod may be classifiable. 
Therefore, the Department has modified the scope to reflect the new 
HTSUS category.\1\

Antidumping Duty Order

    On April 6, 2009, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the 
ITC notified the Department of its final determination, pursuant to 
section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, that an industry in the United 
States is materially injured by reason of less-than-fair-value imports 
of subject merchandise from the PRC. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will direct U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess, upon further instruction by 
the Department, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the 
normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or 
constructed export price) of the merchandise for all relevant entries 
of STR from the PRC. These antidumping duties will be assessed on all 
unliquidated entries of STR from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from the 
warehouse, for consumption on or after October 8, 2008, the date on 
which the Department published its preliminary determination. See 
Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the People's Republic of China: 
Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 73 FR 58931 
(October 8, 2008).
    Section 733(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant 
to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect 
for more than four months except where exporters representing a 
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request 
the Department to extend that four-month period to no more than six 
months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant 
proportion of STR exports, we extended the four-month period to no more 
than six months. See Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the People's 
Republic of China: Amended Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less 
Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 73 FR 63693 
(October 27, 2008). In this investigation, the six-month period 
beginning on the date of the publication of the preliminary 
determination ended on April 8, 2009. Furthermore, section 737 of the 
Act states that definitive duties are to begin on the date of 
publication of the ITC's final injury determination. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our practice, we will 
instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to 
liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries 
of STR from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after April 8, 2009, and before the date of 
publication of the ITC's final injury determination in the Federal 
Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on or after the date of 
publication of the ITC's final injury determination in the Federal 
Register.
    Effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative 
injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP, pursuant to section 
735(c)(3) of the Act, will require, at the same time as importers would 
normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit 
equal to the estimated weighted-average antidumping duty margins as 
listed below. The ``PRC-wide'' rate applies to all exporters of subject 
merchandise not specifically listed. The weighted-average dumping 
margins are as follows:
