In accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b), an interested party as
defined by section 771(9) of the Act may
request in writing that the Secretary
conduct an administrative review. For
both antidumping and countervailing
duty reviews, the interested party must
specify the individual producers or
exporters covered by an antidumping
finding or an antidumping or
countervailing duty order or suspension
agreement for which it is requesting a
review. In addition, a domestic
interested party or an interested party
described in section 771(9)(B) of the Act
must state why it desires the Secretary
to review those particular producers or
exporters.2 If the interested party
intends for the Secretary to review sales
of merchandise by an exporter (or a
producer if that producer also exports
merchandise from other suppliers)
which were produced in more than one
country of origin and each country of
origin is subject to a separate order, then
the interested party must state
specifically, on an order-by-order basis,
which exporter(s) the request is
intended to cover.
Please note that, for any party the

economy and the parties subject to the review
request do not qualify for separate rates, all other
exporters of subject merchandise from the non-
market economy country who do not have a
separate rate will be covered by the review as part
of the single entity of which the named firms are
a part.

information as to the party’s location.
Moreover, if the interested party who
files a request for review is unable to
locate the producer or exporter for
which it requested the review, the
interested party must provide an
explanation of the attempts it made to
locate the producer or exporter at the
same time it files its request for review,
in order for the Secretary to determine
if the interested party’s attempts were
reasonable, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.303(f)(3)(ii).
As explained in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), the Department
has clarified its practice with respect to
the collection of final antidumping
duties on imports of merchandise where
intermediate firms are involved. The
public should be aware of this
clarification in determining whether to
request an administrative review of
merchandise subject to antidumping
findings and orders. See also the Import
Administration Web site at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov.
Six copies of the request 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. The Department
also asks parties to serve a copy of their
requests to the Office of Antidumping/
Countervailing Operations, Attention:
Sheila Forbes, in Room 3065 of the main
Commerce Building. Further, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(l)(i),
a copy of each request must be served
on every party on the Department’s
service list.
The Department will publish in the
Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation
of Administrative Review of
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty
Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation’’ for requests received by
the last day of March 2010. If the
Department does not receive, by the last
day of March 2010, a request for review
of entries covered by an order, finding,
or suspended investigation listed in this
notice and for the period identified
above, the Department will instruct CBP
to assess antidumping or countervailing
duties on those entries at a rate equal to
the cash deposit of (or bond for)
estimated antidumping or
countervailing duties required on those
entries at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption and to continue to collect
the cash deposit previously ordered.
For the first administrative review of
any order, there will be no assessment

of antidumping or countervailing duties

from the People’s Republic of China:
Initiation of Countervailing Duty
Investigation, 74 FR 52945 (October 15,
2009) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’), and the
accompanying Initiation Checklist.
On November 4, 2009, the Department
selected two Chinese producers/
exporters of certain seamless carbon and
alloy steel standard, line, and pressure
pipe (‘‘seamless pipe’’) as mandatory
respondents: (1) Hengyang Steel Tube
Group Int’l Trading Inc., Hengyang
Valin Steel Tube Co., Ltd., Hengyang
Valin MPM Tube Co., Ltd., and their
affiliate, Xigang Seamless Steel Tube
Co., Ltd. (collectively, ‘‘Hengyang’’); and
(2) Tianjin Pipe (Group) Corporation
(‘‘TPCO’’). See Memorandum to Edward
Yang, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations, ‘‘Respondent Selection
Memo’’ (November 4, 2009). This
memorandum is on file in the
Department’s Central Records Unit
(‘‘CRU’’) in Room 1117 of the main
Department building.
On November 6, 2009, the U.S.
International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
published its affirmative preliminary
determination that there is a reasonable
indication that an industry in the
United States is threatened with
material injury by reason of allegedly
subsidized imports of seamless pipe
from the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’). See Certain Seamless Carbon
and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and
Pressure Pipe From China, 74 FR 57521
(November 6, 2009).
On November 9, 2009, we issued a
questionnaire to the Government of the
People’s Republic of China (‘‘GOC’’),
Hengyang, and TPCO. On December 3,
2009, the Department published a
postponement of the deadline for the
preliminary determination in this
investigation until February 16, 2010.
