and practical pre-harvest practices, the
identification of incentives for
producers and processors to adopt such
measures, and the establishment of an
ongoing dialogue regarding pre-harvest
food safety. Also, FSIS will present a
summary of the recent input from the
National Advisory Committee on Meat
and Poultry Inspection on pre-harvest
issues.
FSIS, APHIS, and ARS have
developed the following questions for
discussion at the meeting:
What factors influence shedding of
Salmonella and Escherichia coli (E. coli)
O157:H7 and other Shiga toxinproducing E. coli (STEC) (e.g., age of
cattle, stress conditions)?
What effective and practical
treatments or mitigation measures are
available to reduce the pathogen load in
general, and Salmonella and STECs
specifically?
How can producers, processors, and
government work together to incentivize
pre-harvest food safety practices and
interventions?
A key outcome of this meeting will be
to provide the agencies with the
information to develop a ‘‘best practice’’
guidance document. The draft guidance
document would be made available for
comment-and ultimately for use by all
stakeholders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 8, 2011, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on circular welded carbon steel pipes
and tubes from Taiwan for the period of
review (POR) of May 1, 2009, to April
30, 2010. See Preliminary Results. In
response to the Department’s invitation
to comment on the preliminary results
of this review, respondent Yieh Phui
filed its case brief on July 15, 2011.
Domestic producer U.S. Steel
Corporation filed its rebuttal brief on
July 22, 2011. No parties requested a
hearing.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order is certain circular welded carbon
steel pipes and tubes from Taiwan,
which are defined as: Welded carbon
steel pipes and tubes, of circular cross
section, with walls not thinner than
0.065 inch, and 0.375 inch or more but
not over 4.5 inches in outside diameter,
currently classified under Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) item numbers 7306.30.5025,
7306.30.5032, 7306.30.5040, and
7306.30.5055. Although the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the merchandise subject
to this order is dispositive.
Cost of Production
As discussed in the Preliminary
Results, we found that Yieh Phui made
home market sales of the foreign like
product during the POR at prices below
its costs of production (COP) within the
meaning of section 773(b) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See
Preliminary Results, 76 FR at 33211.
Those results apply to these final
results, given that no changes have been
made from the calculations made in the
Preliminary Results.
We found 20 percent or more of the
respondent’s sales of a given product
during the reporting period were at
prices less than the weighted-average
COP for this period. Thus, we
determined that these below-cost sales
were made in ‘‘substantial quantities’’
within an extended period of time and
at prices which did not permit the
recovery of all costs within a reasonable
E:\FR\FM\14OCN1.SGM
14OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 199 / Friday, October 14, 2011 / Notices
period of time in the normal course of
trade. See sections 773(b)(1) and (2) of
the Act. Therefore, for purposes of these
final results, we continue to find that
Yieh Phui made below-cost sales not in
the ordinary course of trade.
Consequently, we disregarded these
sales for Yieh Phui and used the
remaining sales as the basis for
determining normal value (NV)
pursuant to section 773(b)(1) of the Act.
For those U.S. sales of subject
merchandise for which there were no
matches to home market sales in the
ordinary course of trade, we compared
export prices to constructed value in
accordance with section 773(a)(4) of the
Act. See Preliminary Results, 76 FR
33212.

Assessment
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department has calculated an
assessment rate on all appropriate
entries. The Department intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions for
the company subject to this review
directly to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review.
Because Yieh Phui did not report the
entered value of its sales, we calculated
importer-specific (or customer-specific)
per-unit duty assessment rates by
aggregating the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales of each importer (or
customer) and dividing each of these
amounts by the respective quantities (by
weight) associated with those sales. To
determine whether the duty assessment
rates are de minimis, in accordance with
the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we calculated importerspecific (or customer-specific) ad
valorem ratios based on estimated
entered values.
We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review for each
importer (or customer) for which the
importer-specific (or customer-specific)
ad valorem ratio is above de minimis
(i.e., at or above 0.50 percent). Pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct
CBP to liquidate without regard to
antidumping duties any entries for
which the importer-specific (or
customer-specific) ad valorem ratio is
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent).
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment
Policy Notice). This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by the
company included in the final results
where the reviewed companies did not
know the merchandise it sold to the
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading
company, or exporter) was destined for
the United States. In such instances, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there was no rate calculated in this
review for the intermediary involved in
the transaction. See id., 68 FR at 23954.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of these final results of
administrative review, consistent with
section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for the reviewed company
will be the rate listed above; (2) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, but was covered in a previous
review or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original LTFV
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 9.70
percent, the all-others rate established
in the LTFV investigation. See Certain
Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and
Tubes From Taiwan: Antidumping Duty
Order, 49 FR 19369 (May 7, 1984).
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APOs) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return or destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.

Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes From Taiwan: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On June 8, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
from Taiwan. See Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review: Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes From Taiwan, 76 FR
33210 (June 8, 2011) (Preliminary Results). This review covers one
company, Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Yieh Phui). Based on our
analysis of the comments received, we have made no changes from the
Preliminary Results. We have listed the final dumping margin below in
the section entitled ``Final Results of Review.''
DATES: Effective Date: October 14, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Bezirganian or Robert James, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade

1131 and (202) 482-0649, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 8, 2011, the Department published in the Federal Register
the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Taiwan
for the period of review (POR) of May 1, 2009, to April 30, 2010. See
Preliminary Results. In response to the Department's invitation to
comment on the preliminary results of this review, respondent Yieh Phui
filed its case brief on July 15, 2011. Domestic producer U.S. Steel
Corporation filed its rebuttal brief on July 22, 2011. No parties
requested a hearing.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order is certain circular welded
carbon steel pipes and tubes from Taiwan, which are defined as: Welded
carbon steel pipes and tubes, of circular cross section, with walls not
thinner than 0.065 inch, and 0.375 inch or more but not over 4.5 inches
in outside diameter, currently classified under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers 7306.30.5025,
7306.30.5032, 7306.30.5040, and 7306.30.5055. Although the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise subject to this order is
dispositive.
Cost of Production
As discussed in the Preliminary Results, we found that Yieh Phui
made home market sales of the foreign like product during the POR at
prices below its costs of production (COP) within the meaning of
section 773(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See
Preliminary Results, 76 FR at 33211. Those results apply to these final
results, given that no changes have been made from the calculations
made in the Preliminary Results.
We found 20 percent or more of the respondent's sales of a given
product during the reporting period were at prices less than the
weighted-average COP for this period. Thus, we determined that these
below-cost sales were made in ``substantial quantities'' within an
extended period of time and at prices which did not permit the recovery
of all costs within a reasonable
[[Page 63903]]
period of time in the normal course of trade. See sections 773(b)(1)
and (2) of the Act. Therefore, for purposes of these final results, we
continue to find that Yieh Phui made below-cost sales not in the
ordinary course of trade. Consequently, we disregarded these sales for
Yieh Phui and used the remaining sales as the basis for determining
normal value (NV) pursuant to section 773(b)(1) of the Act. For those
U.S. sales of subject merchandise for which there were no matches to
home market sales in the ordinary course of trade, we compared export
prices to constructed value in accordance with section 773(a)(4) of the
Act. See Preliminary Results, 76 FR 33212.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by interested
parties in this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and

A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice as Appendix I.
The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made no
changes in the margin calculations.
Final Results of Review
We determine the following percentage margin exists for the period
May 1, 2009, through April 30, 2010:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted- Average
Manufacturer/Exporter margin
(percentage)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd........................ 11.47

Assessment
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b), the Department has calculated an
assessment rate on all appropriate entries. The Department intends to
issue appropriate assessment instructions for the company subject to
this review directly to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of
the final results of this review.
Because Yieh Phui did not report the entered value of its sales, we
calculated importer-specific (or customer-specific) per-unit duty
assessment rates by aggregating the total amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales of each importer (or customer) and
dividing each of these amounts by the respective quantities (by weight)
associated with those sales. To determine whether the duty assessment
rates are de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer-specific (or customer-
specific) ad valorem ratios based on estimated entered values.
We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review for each importer (or
customer) for which the importer-specific (or customer-specific) ad
valorem ratio is above de minimis (i.e., at or above 0.50 percent).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate
without regard to antidumping duties any entries for which the
importer-specific (or customer-specific) ad valorem ratio is de minimis
(i.e., less than 0.50 percent).
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment
Policy Notice). This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by the company included in the
final results where the reviewed companies did not know the merchandise
it sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or
exporter) was destined for the United States. In such instances, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others
rate if there was no rate calculated in this review for the
intermediary involved in the transaction. See id., 68 FR at 23954.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results for all shipments of the subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the publication date of these final results of administrative
review, consistent with section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for the reviewed company will be the rate listed above;
(2) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, but was
covered in a previous review or the original less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigation, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the
original LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 9.70 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation. See Certain

Notification to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
