SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 1, 2011, the Department
initiated the third sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on furfuryl
alcohol from the PRC, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(c)(2).1 The Department received
a notice of intent to participate from
Penn A Kem LLC (‘‘the domestic
interested party’’) within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).
The domestic interested party claimed
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act, as a manufacturer
of a domestic like product in the United
States.
We received a complete substantive
response from the domestic interested
party within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We
received no responses from respondent
interested parties. As a result, the
Department conducted an expedited
sunset review of the Order, pursuant to
19 CFR 351.218(e)(1).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is furfuryl alcohol (C4H3OCH2OH).
Furfuryl alcohol is a primary alcohol,
and is colorless or pale yellow in
appearance. It is used in the
manufacture of resins and as a wetting
agent and solvent for coating resins,
nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, and
other soluble dyes.
The product subject to the order is
classifiable under subheading
2932.13.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, our written
description of the scope of this
proceeding is dispositive.

Department published a notice of

reviews of the antidumping duty orders
on welded ASTM A–312 stainless steel
pipe from Korea and Taiwan. See
Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Review, 76 FR 38613 (July 1, 2011).
As a result of these sunset reviews,
the Department determined that
revocation of the antidumping duty
orders on welded ASTM A–312
stainless steel pipe from Korea and
Taiwan would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and, therefore, notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail should these orders be revoked.

Steel Pipe From South Korea and
Taiwan: Final Results of Expedited
Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping
Duty Orders, 76 FR 67673 (November 2,
2011) and accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
On December 7, 2011, the ITC
published its determination in the
Federal Register, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), that revocation of
the antidumping duty orders on subject
merchandise would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United Sates
within a reasonably foreseeable time.
See Certain Welded Stainless Steel Pipe
From Korea and Taiwan, 76 FR 76437
(December 7, 2011), and USITC
Publication 4280 (December 2011),
titled Certain Welded Stainless Steel
Pipe from Korea and Taiwan
(Investigation Nos. 731–TA–540 and
541 (Third Review)).
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise subject to the
antidumping duty orders is welded
austenitic stainless steel pipe that meets
the standards and specifications set
forth by the American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) for the
welded form of chromium-nickel pipe
designated ASTM A–312. The
merchandise covered by the scope of the
orders also includes austenitic welded
stainless steel pipes made according to
the standards of other nations which are
comparable to ASTM A–312.
Welded ASTM A–312 stainless steel
pipe is produced by forming stainless
steel flat-rolled products into a tubular
configuration and welding along the
seam. Welded ASTM A–312 stainless
steel pipe is a commodity product
generally used as a conduit to transmit
liquids or gases. Major applications for

steel pipe include, but are not limited
to, digester lines, blow lines,
pharmaceutical lines, petrochemical
stock lines, brewery process and
transport lines, general food processing
lines, automotive paint lines, and paper
process machines. Imports of Welded
ASTM A–312 stainless steel pipe are
currently classifiable under the
following Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings: 7306.40.5005,
7306.40.5015, 7306.40.5040,
7306.40.5062, 7306.40.5064, and
7306.40.5085.2 Although these
subheadings include both pipes and
tubes, the scope of the antidumping
duty orders is limited to welded
austenitic stainless steel pipes. The
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes.
However, the written description of the
scope of the orders is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
orders would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of dumping and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of
the Act, the Department hereby orders
the continuation of the antidumping
duty orders on welded ASTM A–312
stainless steel pipe from Korea and
Taiwan.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
will continue to collect antidumping
duty cash deposits at the rates in effect
at the time of entry for all imports of
subject merchandise. The effective date
of the continuation of these orders will
be the date of publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of continuation.
Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act,
the Department intends to initiate the
next sunset reviews of these orders not
later than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
These sunset reviews and this notice
are in accordance with section 751(c) of
the Act and published pursuant to
section 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: December 14, 2011.
