Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings
From Italy: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Final No Shipment
Determination
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On December 22, 2011, the
Department of Commerce published the
preliminary results of the administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings
(SSBW pipe fittings) from Italy.1 This
review covers two respondent
companies and the period of review is
from February 1, 2010, through January
31, 2011. We invited interested parties
to comment on the preliminary results
but received no comments. Therefore,
our final results remain unchanged from
the preliminary results of review.
DATES: Effective Date: April 24, 2012.

Background
On December 22, 2011, the
Department published the preliminary
results of the current administrative
review on SSBW pipe fittings from Italy
in the Federal Register. See Preliminary
Results. In these results, we
preliminarily determined that the
respondent Filmag Italia SRL (Filmag)
had no reviewable transactions during
the period of review. With respect to the
respondent Tectubi Raccordi S.p.A.
(Tectubi), we determined that it and two
of its affiliates, Raccordi Forgiati S.r.l.
(Raccordi) and Allied International S.r.l.
(Allied) should be treated as a single
entity for purposes of calculating a
dumping margin pursuant to the
provisions of 19 CFR 351.401(f) and
consequently, we calculated a
preliminary dumping margin based on
the sales information reported by
Tectubi for all three companies.

We invited parties to comment on the
preliminary results of review but
received no comments and did not
receive any requests for a hearing.
Period of Review
The period of review is February 1,
2010, through January 31, 2011.
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Scope of the Order
For purposes of the order, the product
covered is certain stainless steel, buttweld pipe fittings. SSBW pipe fittings
are under 14 inches in outside diameter
(based on nominal pipe size), whether
finished or unfinished. The product
encompasses all grades of stainless steel
and ‘‘commodity’’ and ‘‘specialty’’
fittings. Specifically excluded from the
definition are threaded, grooved, and
bolted fittings, and fittings made from
any material other than stainless steel.
The butt-weld fittings subject to the
order are generally designated under
specification ASTM A403/A403M, the
standard specification for Wrought
Austenitic Stainless Steel Piping
Fittings, or its foreign equivalents (e.g.,
DIN or JIS specifications). This
specification covers two general classes
of fittings, WP and CR, of wrought
austenitic stainless steel fittings of
seamless and welded construction
covered by the latest revision of ANSI
B16.9, ANSI B16.11, and ANSI B16.28.
Butt-weld fittings manufactured to
specification ASTM A774, or its foreign
equivalents, are also covered by the
order.
The order does not apply to cast
fittings. Cast austenitic stainless steel
pipe fittings are covered by
specifications A351/A351M, A743/
743M, and A744/A744M.
The butt-weld fittings subject to the
order is currently classifiable under
subheading 7307.23.0000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the Preliminary Results,
Filmag stated that it had no sales of
subject merchandise during the period
of review in response to our
antidumping questionnaire and we were
able to confirm with U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) that the
company had no entries of subject
merchandise during this period. Based
on this evidence, we preliminarily
determined that Filmag had no
reviewable transactions during the
period of review. We further found that
if, in the final results, we continued to
VerDate Mar<15>2010

find that Filmag had no reviewable
transactions of subject merchandise, we
would instruct CBP to liquidate any
existing entries of merchandise
produced by Filmag but exported by
other parties at the all-others rate.2
Because we have no basis to find
otherwise, we continue to find that
Filmag had no reviewable transactions
of subject merchandise during the
period of review for the final results of
review. Furthermore, we continue to
find that it is more consistent with our

that their merchandise was destined for
the United States. In such instances, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
of 26.59 percent, established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation of the
order,5 if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
We intend to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of these final results of
review.

Background
The review covers one manufacturer/
exporter of the subject merchandise: JBL
Canada.
On February 7, 2012, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on citric acid and certain citrate salts
from Canada. See Citric Acid and
Certain Citrate Salts from Canada:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 77 FR 6061
(February 7, 2012) (Preliminary Results).
We invited parties to comment on the
preliminary results of the review. No
interested party submitted comments.
The Department has conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes all
grades and granulation sizes of citric
acid, sodium citrate, and potassium
citrate in their unblended forms,
whether dry or in solution, and
regardless of packaging type. The scope
also includes blends of citric acid,
sodium citrate, and potassium citrate; as
well as blends with other ingredients,
such as sugar, where the unblended
form(s) of citric acid, sodium citrate,
and potassium citrate constitute 40
percent or more, by weight, of the blend.
The scope of this order also includes all
forms of crude calcium citrate,
including dicalcium citrate
monohydrate, and tricalcium citrate
tetrahydrate, which are intermediate
products in the production of citric
acid, sodium citrate, and potassium
citrate. The scope of this order does not
include calcium citrate that satisfies the
standards set forth in the United States
Pharmacopeia and has been mixed with
a functional excipient, such as dextrose
or starch, where the excipient
constitutes at least 2 percent, by weight,
of the product. The scope of this order
includes the hydrous and anhydrous
forms of citric acid, the dihydrate and
anhydrous forms of sodium citrate,
otherwise known as citric acid sodium
salt, and the monohydrate and
monopotassium forms of potassium
citrate. Sodium citrate also includes
both trisodium citrate and monosodium
citrate, which are also known as citric
acid trisodium salt and citric acid
monosodium salt, respectively. Citric
acid and sodium citrate are classifiable
under 2918.14.0000 and 2918.15.1000 of

the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Period of Review
The POR is May 1, 2010, through
April 30, 2011.
Final Results of the Review
We determine that a weighted-average
dumping margin exists for JBL Canada
for the period May 1, 2010, through
April 30, 2011, as follows:

Assessment Rates
The Department shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Pursuant to
19 CFR 356.8(a), the Department intends
to issue appropriate appraisement
instructions for the respondent subject
to this review directly to CBP 41 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of this review.
For those sales where JBL Canada
reported the entered value of its U.S.
sales, we calculated importer-specific
ad valorem duty assessment rates based
on the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales to the total entered
value of the examined sales to that
importer. For those sales where the
respondent did not know the entered
value or importer of its U.S. sales, we
calculated customer-specific per-unit
duty assessment rates by aggregating the
total amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales and
dividing this amount by the total
quantity of those sales. To determine
whether the per-unit duty assessment
rates are de minimis, in accordance with
the requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), we calculated customerspecific ad valorem ratios based on the
estimated entered value.
We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review if any
importer-specific assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this
review is above de minimis (i.e., at or

SUMMARY: On December 22, 2011, the Department of Commerce published the
preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings (SSBW pipe
fittings) from Italy.\1\ This review covers two respondent companies
and the period of review is from February 1, 2010, through January 31,
2011. We invited interested parties to comment on the preliminary
results but received no comments. Therefore, our final results remain
unchanged from the preliminary results of review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 22, 2011, the Department published the preliminary
results of the current administrative review on SSBW pipe fittings from
Italy in the Federal Register. See Preliminary Results. In these
results, we preliminarily determined that the respondent Filmag Italia
SRL (Filmag) had no reviewable transactions during the period of
review. With respect to the respondent Tectubi Raccordi S.p.A.
(Tectubi), we determined that it and two of its affiliates, Raccordi
Forgiati S.r.l. (Raccordi) and Allied International S.r.l. (Allied)
should be treated as a single entity for purposes of calculating a
dumping margin pursuant to the provisions of 19 CFR 351.401(f) and
consequently, we calculated a preliminary dumping margin based on the
sales information reported by Tectubi for all three companies.
[[Page 24460]]
We invited parties to comment on the preliminary results of review
but received no comments and did not receive any requests for a
hearing.
Period of Review
The period of review is February 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011.
Scope of the Order
For purposes of the order, the product covered is certain stainless
steel, butt-weld pipe fittings. SSBW pipe fittings are under 14 inches
in outside diameter (based on nominal pipe size), whether finished or
unfinished. The product encompasses all grades of stainless steel and
``commodity'' and ``specialty'' fittings. Specifically excluded from
the definition are threaded, grooved, and bolted fittings, and fittings
made from any material other than stainless steel.
The butt-weld fittings subject to the order are generally
designated under specification ASTM A403/A403M, the standard
specification for Wrought Austenitic Stainless Steel Piping Fittings,
or its foreign equivalents (e.g., DIN or JIS specifications). This
specification covers two general classes of fittings, WP and CR, of
wrought austenitic stainless steel fittings of seamless and welded
construction covered by the latest revision of ANSI B16.9, ANSI B16.11,
and ANSI B16.28. Butt-weld fittings manufactured to specification ASTM
A774, or its foreign equivalents, are also covered by the order.
The order does not apply to cast fittings. Cast austenitic
stainless steel pipe fittings are covered by specifications A351/A351M,
A743/743M, and A744/A744M.
The butt-weld fittings subject to the order is currently
classifiable under subheading 7307.23.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description
of the scope of the order is dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the Preliminary Results, Filmag stated that it had no
sales of subject merchandise during the period of review in response to
our antidumping questionnaire and we were able to confirm with U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that the company had no entries of
subject merchandise during this period. Based on this evidence, we
preliminarily determined that Filmag had no reviewable transactions
during the period of review. We further found that if, in the final
results, we continued to find that Filmag had no reviewable
transactions of subject merchandise, we would instruct CBP to liquidate
any existing entries of merchandise produced by Filmag but exported by
other parties at the all-others rate.\2\ Because we have no basis to
find otherwise, we continue to find that Filmag had no reviewable
transactions of subject merchandise during the period of review for the
final results of review. Furthermore, we continue to find that it is
more consistent with our May 6, 2003, ``automatic assessment''
clarification \3\ not to rescind the review in part in these
circumstances but, rather, to complete the review with respect to
Filmag and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on our final
results. See the ``Assessment Rates'' section of this notice below.

Final Results of Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the period February 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted
average
Manufacturer/exporter margins
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tectubi Raccordi S.p.A./Raccordi Forgiati S.r.l./Allied 0.00
International S.r.l......................................
Filmag Italia SRL......................................... *
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* No shipments or sales subject to this review. The firm does not have
an individual rate from a prior segment of the proceeding.
Assessment Rates
We will instruct CBP to apply a dumping margin of zero percent to
all entries of subject merchandise during the period of review that
were produced by Tectubi or Raccordi and exported and imported by
Tectubi.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Although we found it appropriate to collapse the sales
information reported by Tectubi, Raccordi and Allied for our margin
analysis, all subject merchandise under review was produced by
Tectubi or Raccordi, exported by Tectubi and imported by Tectubi.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Assessment of Antidumping Duties. This clarification
will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the period of
review produced by Tectubi, Raccordi and Filmag for which they did not
know that their merchandise was destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate of 26.59 percent, established in the less-than-fair-
value investigation of the order,\5\ if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.

Fittings From Italy, Malaysia, and the Philippines, 66 FR 11257,
11258 (February, 23, 2001).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of these final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these
final results, consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
subject merchandise manufactured and exported by the collapsed Tectubi
companies (i.e., Tectubi, Raccordi and Allied), the cash deposit rate
will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies
other than the collapsed Tectubi companies, 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, the
prior review, or the 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) if neither the
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous
review conducted by the Department, the cash-deposit rate will be the
all-others rate of 26.59 percent. These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
Notifications 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 Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative
[[Page 24461]]
protective orders (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return
or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
Timely written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials
or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure
to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation,
which is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
Dated: April 17, 2012.
