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

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

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.

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.

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.

In accordance with 19 CFR

for Reviews,4 the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate
entries for Saha Thai and Pacific Pipe
without regard to antidumping duties.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003.5 This clarification applies
to entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Saha Thai and
Pacific Pipe 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.
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.

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
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.
