Background
In accordance with sections 735(d)
and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.210(c), on October 13, 2015, the
Department published its affirmative

final determinations in the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigations of
welded line pipe from Korea and
Turkey.1 Pursuant to section 735(e) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), the
Department published its amended final
determination in the LTFV investigation
of welded line pipe from Korea on
November 10, 2015.2 On November 20,
2015, the ITC notified the Department of
its affirmative determinations that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning
of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by
reason of the LTFV imports of welded
line pipe from Korea and Turkey.3
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these
orders is circular welded carbon and
alloy steel (other than stainless steel)
pipe of a kind used for oil or gas
pipelines (welded line pipe), not more
than 24 inches in nominal outside
diameter, regardless of wall thickness,
length, surface finish, end finish, or
stenciling. Welded line pipe is normally
produced to the American Petroleum
Institute (API) specification 5L, but can
be produced to comparable foreign
specifications, to proprietary grades, or
can be non-graded material. All pipe
meeting the physical description set
forth above, including multiplestenciled pipe with an API or
comparable foreign specification line
pipe stencil is covered by the scope of
these orders.
The welded line pipe that is subject
to these orders is currently classifiable
in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS) under
subheadings 7305.11.1030,
7305.11.5000, 7305.12.1030,
7305.12.5000, 7305.19.1030,
7305.19.5000, 7306.19.1010,
7306.19.1050, 7306.19.5110, and
7306.19.5150. The subject merchandise
may also enter in HTSUS 7305.11.1060
and 7305.12.1060. While the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for

convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of these
orders is dispositive.
Antidumping Duty Orders
As stated above, on November 20,
2015, in accordance with section 735(d)
of the Act, the ITC notified the
Department of its final determinations
in these investigations, in which it
found material injury with respect to
welded line pipe from Korea and
Turkey.4 Therefore, in accordance with
section 735(c)(2) of the Act, we are
issuing these antidumping duty orders.
Because the ITC determined that
imports of welded line pipe from Korea
and Turkey are materially injuring a
U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of
such merchandise from Korea and
Turkey, entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, are subject
to the assessment of antidumping
duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by the Department,
antidumping duties equal to the amount
by which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price
(or constructed export price) of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of
welded line pipe from Korea and
Turkey. Antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of
welded line pipe from Korea and
Turkey entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
May 22, 2015, the date of publication of
the preliminary determinations,5 but
will not include entries occurring after
the expiration of the provisional
measures period and before publication
of the ITC’s final injury determination
as further described below.
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct
CBP to continue to suspend liquidation
on all relevant entries of welded line
pipe from Korea and Turkey. These
instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice.
We will also instruct CBP to require
cash deposits equal to the amounts as
indicated below. Accordingly, effective
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final affirmative injury determinations,
CBP will require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit
estimated duties on this subject
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the
estimated weighted-average dumping
margins listed below.6 The relevant allothers rates apply to all producers or
exporters not specifically listed. For the
purpose of determining cash deposit
rates, the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins for imports of subject
merchandise from Turkey will be
adjusted, as appropriate, for export
subsidies found in the final
determination of the companion
countervailing duty investigation of this
merchandise imported from Turkey.7
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months, except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise
request the Department to extend that
four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that
account for a significant proportion of
welded line pipe from Korea and
Turkey, we extended the four-month
period to six months in each case.8 In
the underlying investigations, the
Department published the preliminary
determinations on May 22, 2015.
Therefore, the extended period,
beginning on the date of publication of
the preliminary determinations, ended
on November 18, 2015. Furthermore,
section 737(b) of the Act states that
definitive duties are to begin on the date
of publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice, we
will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of welded line pipe from Korea
and Turkey entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption after
November 18, 2015, the date on which
the provisional measures expired, until
and through the day preceding the date
of publication of the ITC’s final injury
determinations in the Federal Register.
Suspension of liquidation will resume
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final determination in the Federal
Register.

Background
Each year during the anniversary
month of the publication of an
antidumping or countervailing duty
order, finding, or suspended
investigation, an interested party, as
defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
may request, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213, that the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) conduct
an administrative review of that
antidumping or countervailing duty
order, finding, or suspended
investigation.
All deadlines for the submission of
comments or actions by the Department
discussed below refer to the number of
calendar days from the applicable
starting date.
Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the
number of respondents for individual
VerDate Sep<11>2014
23:35 Nov 30, 2015
Jkt 238001
examination for administrative reviews
initiated pursuant to requests made for
the orders identified below, the
Department intends to select
respondents based on U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S.
imports during the period of review. We
intend to release the CBP data under
Administrative Protective Order
(‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an APO
within five days of publication of the
initiation notice and to make our
decision regarding respondent selection
within 21 days of publication of the
initiation Federal Register notice.
Therefore, we encourage all parties
interested in commenting on respondent
selection to submit their APO
applications on the date of publication
of the initiation notice, or as soon
thereafter as possible. The Department
invites comments regarding the CBP
data and respondent selection within
five days of placement of the CBP data
on the record of the review.
In the event the Department decides
it is necessary to limit individual
examination of respondents and
conduct respondent selection under
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act:
In general, the Department finds that
determinations concerning whether
particular companies should be
‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single
entity for purposes of calculating
antidumping duty rates) require a
substantial amount of detailed
information and analysis, which often
require follow-up questions and
analysis. Accordingly, the Department
will not conduct collapsing analyses at
the respondent selection phase of this
review and will not collapse companies
at the respondent selection phase unless
there has been a determination to
collapse certain companies in a
previous segment of this antidumping
proceeding (i.e., investigation,
administrative review, new shipper
review or changed circumstances
review). For any company subject to this
review, if the Department determined,
or continued to treat, that company as
collapsed with others, the Department
will assume that such companies
continue to operate in the same manner
and will collapse them for respondent
selection purposes. Otherwise, the
Department will not collapse companies
for purposes of respondent selection.
Parties are requested to (a) identify
which companies subject to review
previously were collapsed, and (b)
provide a citation to the proceeding in
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
which they were collapsed. Further, if
companies are requested to complete
the Quantity and Value Questionnaire
for purposes of respondent selection, in
general each company must report
volume and value data separately for
itself. Parties should not include data
for any other party, even if they believe
they should be treated as a single entity
with that other party. If a company was
collapsed with another company or
companies in the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
where the Department considered
collapsing that entity, complete quantity
and value data for that collapsed entity
must be submitted.
Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a
party that requests a review may
withdraw that request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. The
regulation provides that the Department
may extend this time if it is reasonable
to do so. In order to provide parties
additional certainty with respect to
when the Department will exercise its
discretion to extend this 90-day
deadline, interested parties are advised
that, with regard to reviews requested
on the basis of anniversary months on
or after December 2015, the Department
does not intend to extend the 90-day
deadline unless the requestor
demonstrates that an extraordinary
circumstance prevented it from
submitting a timely withdrawal request.
Determinations by the Department to
extend the 90-day deadline will be
made on a case-by-case basis.
The Department is providing this
notice on its Web site, as well as in its
‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review’’ notices, so that interested
parties will be aware of the manner in
which the Department intends to
exercise its discretion in the future.
Opportunity to Request a Review: Not
later than the last day of December
2015,1 interested parties may request
administrative review of the following
orders, findings, or suspended
investigations, with anniversary dates in
December for the following periods:
1 Or the next business day, if the deadline falls
on a weekend, federal holiday or any other day
when the Department is closed.

Welded Line Pipe From the Republic of Korea and the Republic of
Turkey: Antidumping Duty Orders
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the International Trade Commission (the
ITC), the Department is issuing antidumping duty orders on welded line
pipe from the Republic of Korea (Korea) and the Republic of Turkey
(Turkey).
DATES: Effective Date: December 1, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(c), on October 13,
2015, the Department published its affirmative final determinations in
the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of welded line pipe from
Korea and Turkey.\1\ Pursuant to section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(f), the Department published its amended final determination in
the LTFV investigation of welded line pipe from Korea on November 10,
2015.\2\ On November 20, 2015, the ITC notified the Department of its
affirmative determinations that an industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the
Act, by reason of the LTFV imports of welded line pipe from Korea and
Turkey.\3\

Investigation Nos. 701-TA-525 and 731-TA-1260-1261 (Final), USITC

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these orders is circular welded carbon
and alloy steel (other than stainless steel) pipe of a kind used for
oil or gas pipelines (welded line pipe), not more than 24 inches in
nominal outside diameter, regardless of wall thickness, length, surface
finish, end finish, or stenciling. Welded line pipe is normally
produced to the American Petroleum Institute (API) specification 5L,
but can be produced to comparable foreign specifications, to
proprietary grades, or can be non-graded material. All pipe meeting the
physical description set forth above, including multiple-stenciled pipe
with an API or comparable foreign specification line pipe stencil is
covered by the scope of these orders.
The welded line pipe that is subject to these orders is currently
classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) under subheadings 7305.11.1030, 7305.11.5000, 7305.12.1030,
7305.12.5000, 7305.19.1030, 7305.19.5000, 7306.19.1010, 7306.19.1050,
7306.19.5110, and 7306.19.5150. The subject merchandise may also enter
in HTSUS 7305.11.1060 and 7305.12.1060. While the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for

convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope
of these orders is dispositive.
Antidumping Duty Orders
As stated above, on November 20, 2015, in accordance with section
735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified the Department of its final
determinations in these investigations, in which it found material
injury with respect to welded line pipe from Korea and Turkey.\4\
Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, we are
issuing these antidumping duty orders. Because the ITC determined that
imports of welded line pipe from Korea and Turkey are materially
injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from
Korea and Turkey, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption,
are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the
Department will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties
equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of welded line pipe from Korea
and Turkey. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries
of welded line pipe from Korea and Turkey entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after May 22, 2015, the date of
publication of the preliminary determinations,\5\ but will not include
entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures
period and before publication of the ITC's final injury determination
as further described below.

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of

Postponement of Final Determination, 80 FR 29617 (May 22, 2015)
(Turkey Preliminary Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will
instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries
of welded line pipe from Korea and Turkey. These instructions
suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.
We will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the
amounts as indicated below. Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determinations, CBP
will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit
estimated duties on this subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins listed below.\6\ The
relevant all-others rates apply to all producers or exporters not
specifically listed. For the purpose of determining cash deposit rates,
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins for imports of subject
merchandise from Turkey will be adjusted, as appropriate, for export
subsidies found in the final determination of the companion
countervailing duty investigation of this merchandise imported from
Turkey.\7\

\6\ See section 736(a)(3) of the Act.
\7\ See Turkey Final Determination, 80 FR at 61364.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant
to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect
for more than four months, except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
the Department to extend that four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant
proportion of welded line pipe from Korea and Turkey, we extended the
four-month period to six months in each case.\8\ In the underlying
investigations, the Department published the preliminary determinations
on May 22, 2015. Therefore, the extended period, beginning on the date
of publication of the preliminary determinations, ended on November 18,
2015. Furthermore, section 737(b) of the Act states that definitive
duties are to begin on the date of publication of the ITC's final
injury determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Korea Preliminary Determination and Turkey Preliminary
Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of welded line pipe from Korea and Turkey entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after November 18, 2015,
the date on which the provisional measures expired, until and through
the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final injury
determinations in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will
resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in
the Federal Register.
