SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The International Trade
Administration provides a multitude of
international trade related programs to
help U.S. businesses. These programs
include information products, services,
and trade events. To accomplish its
mission effectively, ITA needs ongoing
feedback on its programs. This
information collection item allows ITA
to solicit clients’ opinions about the use
of ITA products, services, and trade
events. To promote optimal use and
provide focused and effective
improvements to ITA programs, we are
requesting approval for this clearance
package; Including: Use of Comment
Cards (i.e. transactional-based surveys)
to collect feedback immediately after
ITA assistance is provided to clients;
use of annual surveys (i.e. relationshipbased surveys) to gauge overall
satisfaction, impact and needs for
clients with ITA assistance provided
over a period time; use of multiple data
collection methods (i.e. web-enabled
surveys sent via email, telephone
interviews, automated telephone
surveys, and in-person surveys via
mobile devices/laptops/tablets at trade
events/shows) to enable clients to
conveniently respond to requests for
feedback; and a forecast of burden
hours. Without this information, ITA is
unable to systematically determine the
actual and relative levels of performance
for its programs and products/services
and to provide clear, actionable insights
for managerial intervention. This

information will be used for program
evaluation and improvement, strategic
planning, allocation of resources and
stakeholder reporting.
II. Method of Collection
The International Trade
Administration is seeking approval for
the following data collection methods to
provide flexibility in conducting
customer satisfaction surveys and to
reduce the burden on respondents: (1)
An email message delivering a hot link
to a web enabled survey with an email
reminder sent if the client does not
respond to the survey within two weeks;
(2) a telephone survey/interview; (3) an
automated telephone survey for callers
to 1–800–USA–TRADE so callers can
immediately respond without having to
provide their email address; and (4) a
web-enabled survey conducted inperson at trade shows/events via a
laptop, tablet or mobile phone so
participants can immediately respond
without having to provide their email
address.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0625–XXX.
Form Number(s): ITA–XXXXP.
Type of Review: Regular submission;
new information collection; generic
clearance.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit
institutions; State, Local, or Tribal
government; and Federal government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
30,000.

the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.

SUMMARY: On April 24, 2014, 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 Thailand.1 This review covers two
producers and/or exporters of the
subject merchandise, Saha Thai Steel
Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd. (Saha
Thai), and Pacific Pipe Company
Limited (Pacific Pipe). The period of
review (POR) is March 1, 2012, through
February 28, 2013. The Department
received comments from interested
parties. For the final results, we find
that Saha Thai has not sold subject
merchandise at less than normal value
(NV), and we continue to find that
Pacific Pipe had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR.
DATES: Effective Date: October 28, 2014.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 208 / Tuesday, October 28, 2014 / Notices
The Department conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
The signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic
versions of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the
antidumping order are certain circular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
from Thailand.2 The subject
merchandise has an outside diameter of
0.375 inches or more, but not exceeding
16 inches. The merchandise is
classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
item numbers 7306.30.1000,
7306.30.5025, 7306.30.5032,
7306.30.5040, 7306.30.5055,
7306.30.5085 and 7306.30.5090.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and purposes
of U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP), the written description of the
merchandise subject to the order is
dispositive. A full description of the
scope of the order is contained in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum,
which is hereby adopted by this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record as
well as comments received from parties
regarding the Preliminary Results, we
made two revisions to Saha Thai’s
margin calculation for the final results.
We (1) used Saha Thai’s most up-to-date
cost of production file, and (2) adjusted
Saha Thai’s duty drawback amount so
that the amount added to export price
is consistent with the amount added to
Saha Thai’s calculated cost of
production.4
Final Determination of No Shipments
For the final results of this review, we
continue to find that Pacific Pipe had no
shipments during the POR.3

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 24, 2014, the Department published, and invited interested
parties to comment on, the Preliminary Results. Saha Thai and Wheatland
Tube Company submitted case briefs on June 16, 2014, and submitted
rebuttal briefs on June 23, 2014.
[[Page 64171]]
The Department conducted this administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the antidumping order are certain circular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Thailand.\2\ The subject
merchandise has an outside diameter of 0.375 inches or more, but not
exceeding 16 inches. The merchandise is classifiable under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers
7306.30.1000, 7306.30.5025, 7306.30.5032, 7306.30.5040, 7306.30.5055,
7306.30.5085 and 7306.30.5090. Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and purposes of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP), the written description of the merchandise subject to
the order is dispositive. A full description of the scope of the order
is contained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is hereby

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to
this review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list
of issues that parties raised and to which we respond in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice as an Appendix. The
Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file
electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS).
IA ACCESS is available to registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov, and is available to all parties in the Central

electronic versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical
in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record as well as comments received from
parties regarding the Preliminary Results, we made two revisions to
Saha Thai's margin calculation for the final results. We (1) used Saha
Thai's most up-to-date cost of production file, and (2) adjusted Saha
Thai's duty drawback amount so that the amount added to export price is
consistent with the amount added to Saha Thai's calculated cost of
production.\4\

the File, entitled ``Final Results of the Administrative Review of
Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Thailand: Analysis
Memorandum for Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd.,'' dated
concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
As a result of our review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margins exist for the period March 1, 2011, through
February 29, 2012.

Assessment Rates
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2) and the Final Modification
for Reviews,\5\ the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries for Saha Thai without regard to antidumping duties.

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003.\6\ This clarification applies to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by Saha Thai 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.

and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping
Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment Policy Notice).

Consistent with the Assessment Policy Notice, because we continue
to find that Pacific Pipe had no shipments of subject merchandise to
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate all applicable
entries of merchandise produced by Pacific Pipe and exported by other
parties at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at
the all-others rate.
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of
the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from
Thailand entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the
Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Saha Thai will be 0.00 percent, the
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this administrative review; (2) for Pacific Pipe and previously
reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less than
fair value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding 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 or the LTFV investigation,
then the cash deposit rate will be the ``all-others'' rate of 15.67
percent established in the LTFV investigation.\7\ These deposit rates,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notifications
This notice 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
[[Page 64172]]
result in the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
The Department is issuing and publishing these final results of
administrative review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: October 21, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
