Background
On November 30, 2009, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) received a timely request
from domestic interested parties Allied
Tube and Conduit Corporation and
TMK–IPSCO to conduct an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain

circular welded non-alloy steel pipe
from Mexico. We also received review
requests on November 30, 2009, from
companies Tuberia Nacional, S.A. de
C.V.’s (TUNA), Mueller Comercial de
Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Mueller) and
Mueller’s affiliated importer Southland
Pipe Nipples Co., Inc. On December 23,
2009, the Department published a notice
of initiation of this administrative
review, covering the period of
November 1, 2008 to October 31, 2009.
See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 74 FR 68229 (December 23, 2009).
The current deadline for the preliminary
results of this review is August 9, 2010.1
Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to complete the
preliminary results of an administrative
review within 245 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an order for
which a review is requested. However,
if it is not practicable to complete the
review within this time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend the time limit for
the preliminary results to a maximum of
365 days after the last day of the
anniversary month of an order for which
a review is requested.
The Department finds it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
results of this review within the original
time frame because we require
additional time with respect to cost of
production data used in the margin
calculation programs. In particular,
there are complex issues concerning
Mueller’s cost of production which
involve multiple unaffiliated
companies. Accordingly, the
Department is extending the time limit
for completion of the preliminary
results of this administrative review
until no later than December 7, 2010.2
We intend to issue the final results no
1 As explained in the memorandum from the
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, the Department has exercised its
discretion to toll deadlines for the duration of the
closure of the Federal Government from February
5, through February 12, 2010. Thus, all deadlines
in this segment of the proceeding have been
extended by seven days which makes the revised
deadline for these preliminary results August 9,
2010. See Memorandum to the Record from Ronald
Lorentzen, DAS for Import Administration,
regarding ‘‘Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As
a Result of the Government Closure During the
Recent Snowstorm,’’ dated February 12, 2010.
2 December 7, 2010 is 365 days from the last day
of the anniversary month and includes the
Department’s extension of all deadlines by seven
calendar days because of the February 2010
snowstorm.

Ltd. (‘‘Zhejiang Tianyi’’).1 In accordance

interested parties an opportunity to

normal value (‘‘NV’’).

and rebuttal briefs within five days after
the due date for filing case briefs.2 On
April 2, 2010, the Department received
a case brief from Zhejiang Tianyi. On
April 7, 2010, the Department received
a rebuttal brief from the American
Furniture Manufacturers Committee for
Legal Trade and Vaughan–Bassett
Furniture Company, Inc. (collectively,
‘‘Petitioners’’). On May 18, 2010, the
Department received factual information
submitted by Petitioners, which raised
issues concerning the veracity of the
information on the record submitted by
Zhejiang Tianyi. In May and June 2010,
the Department issued questionnaires to
Zhejiang Tianyi. In May, June, and July
2010, Zhejiang Tianyi submitted its
responses to the Department’s
questionnaires and comments on the
allegation. In June 2010, Petitioners
submitted comments on Zhejiang
Tianyi’s responses. On July 14, 2010,
Zhejiang Tianyi submitted comments on
this issue. For a full discussion of this
issue, see Memorandum to the File,
regarding ‘‘Zhejiang Tianyi’s Eligibility
for a New Shipper Review and the
Validity of its Data,’’ dated July 23, 2010.
On July 6, 2010, the Department
notified interested parties that it would
be reconsidering its valuation of the
labor wage rate in this NSR, as a result
of the recent decision in Dorbest Limited
et. al. v. United States, 2009–1257,
-1266, issued by the United States Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
(‘‘CAFC’’) on May 14, 2010. On July 6,
2010,3 July 12, 2010,4 and July 13,
2010,5 the Department placed export
and wage data, which the Department
was considering in connection with the
valuation of the labor wage rate, on the
record of this NSR and invited
interested parties to comment on the
narrow issue of the labor wage value in
light of the CAFC’s decision. On July 9,
and July 14, 2010, Petitioners submitted
comments on the export and wage data.
Period of Review
The period of review (‘‘POR’’) is
January 1, 2009, through June 30, 2009.
