SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 27, 2009, the Department
published the initiation of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on circular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
(pipes and tubes) from Thailand for the
period March 1, 2008 through February
28, 2009. See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part 74 FR FR 19042 (April 27,2009)
(Initiation Notice). This review covers
the respondent, Saha Thai Steel Pipe
(Public) Co., Ltd. (Saha Thai), a
producer/exporter of the subject
merchandise to the United States.

Extension of Time Limit for the
Preliminary Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and
section 351.213(h)(1) of the
Department’s regulations require the
Department to issue the preliminary
results of a review within 245 days after
the last day of the anniversary month of
the order or suspension agreement for
which the administrative review was
requested, and final results of the
review within 120 days after the date on
which the notice of the preliminary
results is published in the Federal
Register. However, if the Department
determines that it is not practicable to
complete the review within the
aforementioned specified time limits,
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and
section 351.213(h)(2) of the
Department’s regulations allow the
Department to extend the 245-day
period to 365 days and to extend the
120-day period to 180 days.
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
The Department requires additional
time to evaluate Saha Thai’s
questionnaire responses in order to
conduct a thorough analysis of all
information on the record. Specifically,
the Department needs more time to
analyze respondent’s cost information
and to consider whether to use quarterly
costs as Saha Thai has requested. The
Department, therefore, finds that it is
not practicable to complete the
preliminary results of this review within
the original time limit and is extending
the deadline for completion of the
preliminary results of this
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on circular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
from Thailand by 120 days, from
December 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: November 18, 2009.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

telephone: (202) 482–4697.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department has received timely
requests, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b), for administrative reviews of
various antidumping duty orders and
findings with October anniversary dates.
Notice of No Sales
Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department may rescind a review where
there are no exports, sales, or entries of
subject merchandise during the
respective period of review (‘‘POR’’)
listed below. If a producer or exporter
named in this notice of initiation had no
exports, sales, or entries during the
POR, it should notify the Department
within 30 days of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register. The
Department will consider rescinding the
review only if the producer or exporter,
as appropriate, submits a properly filed
and timely statement certifying that it
had no exports, sales, or entries of
subject merchandise during the POR.
All submissions must be made in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303 and
are subject to verification in accordance
with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). Six
copies of the submission should be
submitted to the Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration, International
Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street
and Constitution Avenue, NW,
Washington, DC 20230. Further, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i),
a copy of each request must be served
on every party on the Department’s
service list.
Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the
number of respondents for individual
examination for administrative reviews,
the Department intends to select
respondents based on U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S.
imports during the POR. We intend to
release the CBP data under
Administrative Protective Order
(‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an APO
within five days of publication of this
initiation notice and to make our
decision regarding respondent selection
within 20 days of publication of this
Federal Register notice. The
Department invites comments regarding
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the CBP data and respondent selection
within 10 calendar days of publication
of this Federal Register notice.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non–market
economy (‘‘NME’’) countries, the
Department begins with a rebuttable
presumption that all companies within
the country are subject to government
control and, thus, should be assigned a
single antidumping duty deposit rate. It
is the Department’s policy to assign all
exporters of merchandise subject to an
administrative review in an NME
country this single rate unless an
exporter can demonstrate that it is
sufficiently independent so as to be
entitled to a separate rate.
To establish whether a firm is
sufficiently independent from
government control of its export
activities to be entitled to a separate
rate, the Department analyzes each
entity exporting the subject
merchandise under a test arising from
the Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the
People’s Republic of China, 56 FR 20588
(May 6, 1991), as amplified by Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from the
People’s Republic of China, 59 FR 22585
(May 2,1994). In accordance with the
separate–rates criteria, the Department
assigns separate rates to companies in
NME cases only if respondents can
demonstrate the absence of both de jure
and de facto government control over
export activities.
All firms listed below that wish to
qualify for separate–rate status in the
administrative reviews involving NME
countries must complete, as
appropriate, either a separate–rate
application or certification, as described
below. For these administrative reviews,
in order to demonstrate separate–rate
eligibility, the Department requires
entities for whom a review was
requested, that were assigned a separate
rate in the most recent segment of this
proceeding in which they participated,
to certify that they continue to meet the
criteria for obtaining a separate rate. The
Separate Rate Certification form will be
available on the Department’s website at
https://www.trade.gov/ia on the date of
publication of this Federal Register
notice. In responding to the
certification, please follow the
‘‘Instructions for Filing the
Certification’’ in the Separate Rate
Certification. Separate Rate
Certifications are due to the Department
no later than 30 calendar days after
publication of this Federal Register
notice. The deadline and requirement
for submitting a Certification applies
