SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 1, 2015, the Department
published in the Federal Register a
notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request
Administrative Review’’ of the
countervailing duty order on citric acid
and certain citrate salts (citric acid) from
the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for
the period of January 1, 2014, through
December 31, 2014.1 In May and June
2015, the Department received timely
requests,2 in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.213(b), for an administrative review
of this countervailing duty order from
the Archer Daniels Midland Company,
Cargill, Incorporated, and Tate & Lyle
Ingredients Americas LLC (collectively,
‘‘the petitioners’’); Laiwu Taihe
Biochemistry Co., Ltd. (Taihe); and
RZBC Co., Ltd./RZBC Import & Export
Co., Ltd./RZBC (Juxian) Co., Ltd.
(collectively, ‘‘RZBC Group’’).3 On July
1, 2015, the Department published in
the Federal Register a notice of
initiation with respect to Taihe and
RZBC Group.4
1 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order,
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 80 FR 24898
(May 1, 2015).
2 Because the last day of the anniversary month
fell on a weekend, we note that the last day parties
could timely request an administrative review of
orders with May anniversary dates was June 1,
2015. Therefore, the petitioners’ review request
dated June 1, 2015, was timely filed.

from the Taihe, RZBC Group, and the petitioners,
dated May 28, May 29, and June 1, 2015,

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Rescission of Review
[A–549–502]
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if a party that requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of notice of
initiation of the requested review. The
petitioners, Taihe, and RZBC Group
each withdrew their requests for review
by the 90-day deadline. Therefore, we
are rescinding the administrative review
of the countervailing duty order on
citric acid from the PRC covering the
period January 1, 2014, through
December 31, 2014.

SUMMARY: On April 6, 2015, the
Department of Commerce (Department)
published its preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on circular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
from Thailand covering the period of
review (POR) March 1, 2013, through
February 28, 2014.1 This review covers
two producers and/or exporters of the
subject merchandise, Saba Thai Steel
Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd. (Saba
Thai), and Pacific Pipe Company
Limited (Pacific Pipe). For the final
results, we continue to find that Saha
Thai and Pacific Pipe did not sell
subject merchandise to the United
States at below normal value during the
POR. The final results are listed in the
section entitled ‘‘Final Results of
Review’’ below.
DATES: Effective date: October 2, 2015

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On August 12, 2015, we invited
parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results. Saha Thai submitted a case
brief on August 20, 2015. No other
parties submitted case briefs or rebuttal
briefs for this proceeding.
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
BILLING CODE 3510–DS–P
The products covered by the
antidumping order are certain circular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
from Thailand. The subject merchandise
has an outside diameter of 0.375 inches
5 See the letter withdrawing request for an
administrative review from RZBC Group, dated July
2, 2015; see also the letters withdrawing requests
for an administrative review from the petitioners
and Taihe, dated July 31, 2015.

Tubes From Thailand: Preliminary Results of

or more, but not exceeding 16 inches.
These products, which are commonly
referred to in the industry as ‘‘standard
pipe’’ or ‘‘structural tubing’’ are
hereinafter designated as ‘‘pipes and
tubes.’’ 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.
Analysis of Comments Received
We have analyzed the comments
submitted by Saha Thai. In its case brief,
Saha Thai made several arguments
objecting to the Department’s
differential pricing analysis. The
Department has used the standard A-toA method to calculate Saha Thai’s
weighted-average dumping margin
(unchanged from the Preliminary
Results).2 Therefore, it is not necessary
to address the comments raised by Saha
Thai in a separate Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
We made changes to Pacific Pipe’s
calculation for the final results.
Specifically, we (1) used updated sales
and cost of production databases, (2)
adjusted the home market sales cost of
production databases based on minor
corrections at verification, (3) revised
Pacific Pipe’s reported per-unit costs to
correspond to the reported total cost of
manufacturing of the merchandise
under consideration, and (4) revised
Pacific Pipe’s general and
administrative expense rate.3 We made
no changes to Saha Thai’s calculations.
Final Results of Review
The final weighted-average dumping
margins for the period March 1, 2013,
