FRONTSEATING SERVICE VALVES FROM
THE PRC
Exporter
Period of Review
The POR is April 1, 2010, through
March 31, 2011.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order is frontseating service valves,
assembled or unassembled, complete or
incomplete, and certain parts thereof.
Frontseating service valves are classified
under subheading 8481.80.1095, and
also have been classified under
subheading 8415.90.80.85, of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). It is possible
for frontseating service valves to be
manufactured out of primary materials
other than copper and brass, in which
case they would be classified under
HTSUS subheadings 8481.80.3040,
8481.80.3090, or 8481.80.5090. In
addition, if unassembled or incomplete
frontseating service valves are imported,
the various parts or components would
be classified under HTSUS subheadings
8481.90.1000, 8481.90.3000, or
8481.90.5000. The HTSUS subheadings
are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, but the written
description of the scope of this order,
available in Antidumping Duty Order:
Frontseating Service Valves from the
People’s Republic of China, 74 FR 19196
(April 28, 2009), remains dispositive.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on an analysis of the comments
received, the Department has made the
following changes in the margin
calculation.
• We valued the surrogate value for
brass scrap using the HTS number for
brass bar and rod. See Comment 2 of the
accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
• The Department recalculated the
surrogate financial ratios using the
financial statements of FVC Philippines,
Inc. and Makati Foundry, Inc. See
Comment 4 of the accompanying Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
• We revised Sanhua’s reported scrap
adjustment to ensure that the reported
raw materials account fully for the
reported weight of each FSV model
sold. See Comment 7 of the
accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum.

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as Amended (‘‘the
Act’’) and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. Where the
weighted-average margin of dumping for
the exporter or producer is determined
to be zero or de minimis, no assessment
rates will be calculated and the
Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate all imports from the exporter
or producer without regard to
antidumping duties. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results of
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash 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

date, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For DunAn
and Sanhua, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate identified in the Final
Results Margin section, as listed above;
(2) for previously investigated or
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters
not listed above that have separate rates,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the exporter-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) for all PRC

Background
On August 21, 2012, the Department
of Commerce (the Department)
published the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
small diameter carbon and alloy
seamless standard, line and pressure
pipe from Romania. See Certain Small
Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless
Standard, Line and Pressure Pipe From

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products subject to the order are
small diameter seamless carbon and
alloy (other than stainless) steel
standard, line, and pressure pipes and
redraw hollows. The products are
typically classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) at subheadings: 7304.10.10.20,

Final Results of the Review
We have made no changes to our
calculations announced in the
Preliminary Results. As a result of our
review, we determine that a weightedaverage dumping margin of 0.00 percent
exists for ArcelorMittal Tubular
Products Roman S.A. for the period
August 1, 2010, through July 31, 2011.
Assessment Rates
In accordance with the Final
Modification, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
liquidate the entries covered by this

duties. See Antidumping Proceedings:
Calculation of the Weighted-Average
Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate
in Certain Antidumping Duty
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR
8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final
Modification).
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the period of review produced by
AMTP for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction. For a full

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties
in this review are addressed in the Memorandum from Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, ``Frontseating Service Valves from the People's
Republic of China: Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results
of the 2010-2011 Administrative Review (``Issues and Decision
Memorandum''),'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this
notice. A list of the issues that parties raised and to which we
responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum follows as an appendix
to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document
and is on file electronically via Import Administration's Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (``IA
ACCESS''). IA ACCESS is available to registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov and in the Central Records Unit (``CRU''), room 7046
of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly
on the internet at https://www.trade.gov/ia/. The signed Issues and
Decision Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum are identical in content.
Period of Review
The POR is April 1, 2010, through March 31, 2011.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order is frontseating service
valves, assembled or unassembled, complete or incomplete, and certain
parts thereof. Frontseating service valves are classified under
subheading 8481.80.1095, and also have been classified under subheading
8415.90.80.85, of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(``HTSUS''). It is possible for frontseating service valves to be
manufactured out of primary materials other than copper and brass, in
which case they would be classified under HTSUS subheadings
8481.80.3040, 8481.80.3090, or 8481.80.5090. In addition, if
unassembled or incomplete frontseating service valves are imported, the
various parts or components would be classified under HTSUS subheadings
8481.90.1000, 8481.90.3000, or 8481.90.5000. The HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes, but the written
description of the scope of this order, available in Antidumping Duty
Order: Frontseating Service Valves from the People's Republic of China,
74 FR 19196 (April 28, 2009), remains dispositive.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on an analysis of the comments received, the Department has
made the following changes in the margin calculation.
We valued the surrogate value for brass scrap using the
HTS number for brass bar and rod. See Comment 2 of the accompanying
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
The Department recalculated the surrogate financial ratios
using the financial statements of FVC Philippines, Inc. and Makati
Foundry, Inc. See Comment 4 of the accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
We revised Sanhua's reported scrap adjustment to ensure
that the reported raw materials account fully for the reported weight
of each FSV model sold. See Comment 7 of the accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Final Results Margin
We determine the weighted-average dumping margins for the period
April 1, 2010, through March 31, 2011, to be:
Frontseating Service Valves From the PRC
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
Exporter average margin
(percentage)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zhejiang DunAn Hetian Metal Co. Ltd..................... 0.00
Zhejiang Sanhua Co., Ltd................................ 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
Amended (``the Act'') and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the Department will
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. Where
the weighted-average margin of dumping for the exporter or producer is
determined to be zero or de minimis, no assessment rates will be
calculated and the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate all
imports from the exporter or producer without regard to antidumping
duties. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP
15 days after the date of publication of these final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash 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, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For DunAn and
Sanhua, the cash deposit rate will be the rate identified in the Final
Results Margin section, as listed above; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to
be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will continue to
be the PRC-wide rate of 55.62 percent; \13\ and (4) for all non-PRC
[[Page 67336]]
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter that supplied that non-PRC exporter. The deposit requirements
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ This rate was established in the final results of the
original investigation. See Frontseating Service Valves from the
People's Republic of China: Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value and Final Negative Determination of Critical
Circumstances, 74 FR 10886 (March 13, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (``APOs'') of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the 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.
Disclosure
We will disclose the calculations performed within five days of the
date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
We are issuing and publishing the final results and notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: November 2, 2012.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
