SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Civil Rights Compliance Review
Record—Federally Assisted Programs
OMB Number: 0596–0215
Type of Request: Extension with no
change
Abstract: All Federal agencies must
comply with equal opportunity laws:
• Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended;
• Title IX of the Education
Amendments Act of 1972;
• The Age Discrimination Act of
1975, as amended;
• Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended; and
• Executive orders prohibiting
discrimination in the delivery of all
programs and services to the public.
Federal agencies and entities
receiving Federal financial assistance
are prohibited from discriminating.
Federal financial assistance is defined
as, ‘‘Federal monies given by grants,
cooperative agreements, commercial
special use permits, training, loan/
temporary assignment of Federal
personnel, or loan/use of Federal
property at below market value.’’
The equal opportunity laws require
agencies to conduct compliance reviews
to ensure that entities receiving Federal
Financial Assistance from the
government are adhering to the nondiscrimination statutes. The statutes
require that prior to awarding support or
issuing permits, the Federal government
shall conduct pre-award reviews to
ensure that potential recipients
understand their responsibilities to
provide services equitable pursuant to
the law. Thereafter, during the
partnership with the Agency, on-going
monitoring will take place to ensure the
public is being served without any

barriers or discrimination. The
compliance review tool consists of three
forms, used consecutively during the
same review.
Forest Service employees will use
form FS–1700–0006A, Civil Rights
Compliance Review Record—Federally
Assisted Programs, to collect
information regarding actions taken by
recipients of Federal financial assistance
to ensure the public receives services
without discrimination or barriers to
access, and that recipients’ employees
understand their role in ensuring equal
access to services. Collection will occur
during face-to-face meetings or
telephone interviews conducted by
Forest Service employees as part of the
pre-award and Post-award process. The
pre-award interview will take place
prior to the award of a grant, signing of
a cooperative agreement, letting of
commercial special use permit, or
similar activity. The post award
interview will take place once every five
years, or upon report/discovery of
discrimination.
Forest Service employees will use
form FS–1700–0006B, Civil Rights
Compliance Review Record—Federally
Assisted Programs, (Post-Award Review
Interview of an Employee of the
Recipient) to collect information from
an employee of the recipient’s program
to assess their awareness of Civil Rights
responsibilities to ensure the public
receives services without discrimination
or barriers to access. This aids in
determining if recipients’ have advised
and trained employees of their customer
service and Civil Rights compliance
role. Collection will occur during faceto-face meetings or interviews
conducted by Forest Service employees
as part of the post award process. The
Post-award interview will take place
once every five years, or upon report/
discovery of discrimination.
Forest Service employees will use
form FS–1700–0006C, Civil Rights
Compliance Review Record—Federally
Assisted Programs, (Post-Award Review
Interview of a Participant) to collect
information from the public or
customers of the recipients of Federal
financial assistance to determine if the
public is receiving services without
discrimination or barriers to access.
Collection will occur during face-to-face
interviews conducted by Forest Service
employees as part of the post award
process. The Post-award interview will
take place once every five years, or upon
report/discovery of discrimination.
The information collected will only
be shared with other Federal agencies
who share in the financial assistance
activities with the Forest Service.
Monitoring reviews have been a

responsibility of the Federal government
since 1964. Without the ability to
monitor recipients of Federal financial
assistance, the Forest Service would not
be able to ensure compliance with laws
and statutes. The Agency would not be
aware of potential violations, thereby
resulting in potential discriminatory
practices.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 hour.
Type of Respondents: Recipients of
Federal financial assistance.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 11,000.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: One.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 11,000.
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether
this collection of information is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical or
scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
request for Office of Management and
Budget approval.

We intend to issue the final results of

the results of our analysis of issues
raised in the written comments, within
120 days of publication of these
preliminary results in the Federal
Register, unless otherwise extended.5
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this
administrative review, the Department
shall determine and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. If a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent)
in the final results of this review, we
will calculate importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for an importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of such
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is
zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). If
a respondent’s weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis
in the final results of this review, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties in accordance with
the Final Modification for Reviews.6
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003.7 This clarification applies
to entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by a respondent 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 allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
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 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 of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review (except, if that rate is de
minimis, then the cash deposit rate will
be zero); (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above
in the Preliminary Results of Review,
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 or another
completed segment of this proceeding,
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 previously
completed segment of this proceeding,
then the cash deposit rate will be the
‘‘all-others’’ rate of 15.67 percent
established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.8 These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f) 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 antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results of
administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this administrative review, the Department shall
determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If a respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we will
calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for an importer's
examined sales and the total entered value of such sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). If a respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of
this review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties in accordance with the Final
Modification for Reviews.\6\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,
2012) (Final Modification for Reviews) (``Where the weighted-average
margin of dumping for the exporter is determined to be zero or de
minimis, no antidumping duties will be assessed.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003.\7\ This clarification applies to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by a respondent 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).

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 for all
shipments of circular welded carbon
[[Page 18356]]
steel pipes and tubes from Thailand entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this review (except, if that rate
is de minimis, then the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above in the
Preliminary Results of Review, 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 or another completed segment of this proceeding, 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
previously completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit
rate will be the ``all-others'' rate of 15.67 percent established in
the less-than-fair-value investigation.\8\ These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results of administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act.
Dated: March 30, 2015.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
