inclusion in a direction perpendicular
to the axis of the rod) is equal to or
greater than three. The size of an
inclusion for purposes of the 20 microns
and 35 microns limitations is the
measurement of the largest dimension
observed on a longitudinal section
measured in a direction perpendicular
to the axis of the rod. This measurement
methodology applies only to inclusions
on certain grade 1080 tire cord quality
wire rod and certain grade 1080 tire
bead quality wire rod that are entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after July 24, 2003.
The designation of the products as
‘‘tire cord quality’’ or ‘‘tire bead quality’’
indicates the acceptability of the
product for use in the production of tire
cord, tire bead, or wire for use in other
rubber reinforcement applications such
as hose wire. These quality designations
are presumed to indicate that these
products are being used in tire cord, tire
bead, and other rubber reinforcement
applications, and such merchandise
intended for the tire cord, tire bead, or
other rubber reinforcement applications
is not included in the scope. However,
should the petitioners or other
interested parties provide a reasonable
basis to believe or suspect that there
exists a pattern of importation of such
products for other than those
applications, end–use certification for
the importation of such products may be
required. Under such circumstances,
only the importers of record would
normally be required to certify the end
use of the imported merchandise.
All products meeting the physical
description of subject merchandise that
are not specifically excluded are
included in this scope.
The products subject to this order are
currently classifiable under subheadings
7213.91.3011, 7213.91.3015,
7213.91.3092, 7213.91.4500,

subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
proceeding is dispositive.
Final Results of Changed
Circumstances Review
Based on the information provided by
Ternium, the Department’s analysis in
the Preliminary Results, and the fact
that interested parties did not submit
any comments during the comment

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 welded line
pipe stencil is covered by the scope of
this order.
Excluded from this scope are pipes of
a kind used for oil and gas pipelines
that are multiple–stenciled to a standard
and/or structural specification and have
one or more of the following
characteristics: is 32 feet in length or
less; is less than 2.0 inches (50 mm) in
outside diameter; has a galvanized and/
or painted surface finish; or has a
threaded and/or coupled end finish.
(The term ‘‘painted’’ does not include
coatings to inhibit rust in transit, such
as varnish, but includes coatings such as
polyester.)
The welded line pipe products that
are the subject of this order 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

written description of the scope of this
order is dispositive.
significant proportion of exports of
welded line pipe, we extended the fourmonth period to no more than six
months. See Certain Circular Welded
Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe from the
People’s Republic of China: Preliminary
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Postponement of Final
Determination, 73 FR 66012 (November
6, 2008) (Preliminary Determination). In
this investigation, the six-month period
beginning on the date of the publication
of the Preliminary Determination (i.e.,
November 6, 2008) ended on May 4,
2009.
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, we have
instructed U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to terminate
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties (i.e., release all bonds and refund
all cash deposits), unliquidated entries
of welded line pipe from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption after May 4, 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.
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
suspension of liquidation ordered
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
an exporter that accounted for a
Antidumping Duty Order
On May 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 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 of the
merchandise for all relevant entries of
welded line pipe from the PRC. Except
for the entries noted above,1 these
antidumping duties will be assessed on
all unliquidated entries of welded line
pipe from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from the warehouse, for
consumption on or after November 6,
2008, the date on which the Department
published its Preliminary
Determination. See Preliminary
Determination.
Effective on the date of publication of
the ITC’s final affirmative injury
determination, CBP will require, at the
same time as importers would normally
deposit estimated duties on this
merchandise, a cash deposit based on
the estimated weighted–average
antidumping duty margins listed below.
The cash deposit rate for the exporter–
producer combinations listed below will
be 73.44 percent, which is equal to the
estimated weighted–average
antidumping duty margins for the
exporter–producer combinations,
reduced by the export subsidy rate
determined for Huludao Pipe in Circular
Welded Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe
from the People’s Republic of China:
Notice of Amended Final Affirmative
Countervailing Duty Determination and
Notice of Countervailing Duty Order, 74
FR 4136 (January 23, 2009). The cash
deposit rate for all exporter–producer
combinations not listed below will be
equal to the estimated weighted–average
antidumping duty margin applicable to
the combination. The ‘‘PRC–wide’’ rate
applies to all exporters of subject
merchandise not specifically listed. The
weighted–average dumping margins are

ACTION: Notice; receipt of application.
This notice constitutes the
antidumping duty order with respect to
welded line pipe from the PRC pursuant
to section 736(a) of the Act. Interested
parties may contact the Department’s
Central Records Unit, Room 1117 of the
main Commerce building, for copies of
an updated list of antidumping duty
orders currently in effect.
This order is published in accordance
with section 736(a) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.211.
The
subject modification to Permit No.
1596–01, issued on August 21, 2008, is
requested under the authority of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and
the regulations governing the taking,
importing, and exporting of endangered
and threatened species (50 CFR 222–
226).
Permit No. 1596–01 authorizes the
permit holder to capture, measure,
weigh, blood and tissue sample,
photograph, flipper and PIT tag, satellite
tag, and attach a VHF/TDR/sonic tag/
video system to leatherback sea turtles
during research activities conducted off
the western coast of the continental
United States. The permit holder
requests authorization to annually fat
biopsy and ultrasound up to 38
leatherback sea turtles as part of a health
and nutritional assessment of this
species. The permit holder also requests
authority to close approach and attach
VHR/TDR/sonic tag/GPS/video camera
units by suction cup on up to 20
leatherback sea turtles annually, and to
later capture the same animals to
remove the unit and then sample, tag,
and attach another VHR/TDR/sonic tag/
GPS/video camera unit to the animals
before release. Additionally, the permit
holder requests authorization to
annually attach a VHR/TDR/sonic tag/
GPS unit and tissue sample 20
leatherback sea turtles using a biopsy
pole. The permit currently authorizes
researchers to attach the unit or tissue
sample 20 animals, not both. The
number of leatherback sea turtles
captured would not increase under the
modification, but the mix of activities
conducted on each animal would. The
research would continue to occur in
waters off the coast of the western
United States through February 1, 2012.

Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
2769 and 482-3627, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), on March 31, 2009, the Department
published in the Federal Register its final determination in the
instant investigation. See Certain Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel
Line Pipe from the People's Republic of China: Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 74 FR 14514 (March 31, 2009).
On May 6, 2009, the ITC notified the Department of its affirmative
final determination of material injury to a U.S. industry. See Certain
Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe from China,
Investigation No. 731-TA-1149 (Final), USITC Publication 4075 (May
2009).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order 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,
(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
[[Page 22516]]
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 welded line pipe stencil is covered
by the scope of this order.
Excluded from this scope are pipes of a kind used for oil and gas
pipelines that are multiple-stenciled to a standard and/or structural
specification and have one or more of the following characteristics: is
32 feet in length or less; is less than 2.0 inches (50 mm) in outside
diameter; has a galvanized and/or painted surface finish; or has a
threaded and/or coupled end finish. (The term ``painted'' does not
include coatings to inhibit rust in transit, such as varnish, but
includes coatings such as polyester.)
The welded line pipe products that are the subject of this order
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 order is dispositive.
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
ordered 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 an exporter that accounted
for a significant proportion of exports of welded line pipe, we
extended the four-month period to no more than six months. See Certain
Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe from the People's
Republic of China: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 73 FR 66012 (November 6,
2008) (Preliminary Determination). In this investigation, the six-month
period beginning on the date of the publication of the Preliminary
Determination (i.e., November 6, 2008) ended on May 4, 2009.
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, we have
instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to terminate
suspension of liquidation and to liquidate without regard to
antidumping duties (i.e., release all bonds and refund all cash
deposits), unliquidated entries of welded line pipe from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after May 4,
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.
Antidumping Duty Order
On May 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 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 of the merchandise for all relevant entries of welded line
pipe from the PRC. Except for the entries noted above,\1\ these
antidumping duties will be assessed on all unliquidated entries of
welded line pipe from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from the warehouse,
for consumption on or after November 6, 2008, the date on which the
Department published its Preliminary Determination. See Preliminary
Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Namely, entries of welded line pipe from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after May 4, 2009, and
before 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, CBP will require, at the same time as importers
would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash
deposit based on the estimated weighted-average antidumping duty
margins listed below. The cash deposit rate for the exporter-producer
combinations listed below will be 73.44 percent, which is equal to the
estimated weighted-average antidumping duty margins for the exporter-
producer combinations, reduced by the export subsidy rate determined
for Huludao Pipe in Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe from
the People's Republic of China: Notice of Amended Final Affirmative
Countervailing Duty Determination and Notice of Countervailing Duty
Order, 74 FR 4136 (January 23, 2009). The cash deposit rate for all
exporter-producer combinations not listed below will be equal to the
estimated weighted-average antidumping duty margin applicable to the
combination. The ``PRC-wide'' rate applies to all exporters of subject
merchandise not specifically listed. The weighted-average dumping
margins are as follows:
