Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 54 / Monday, March 21, 2016 / Notices
Notifications to Importers
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 doubled antidumping
duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials, or conversion to judicial
protective order, is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: March 14, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Postponement of Preliminary
Determinations
On November 17, 2015, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated antidumping duty
investigations of imports of circular
welded carbon-quality steel pipe (CWP)
from Oman, Pakistan, the UAE and
Vietnam.1 The notice of initiation stated
that we would issue our preliminary
determinations no later than 140 days
after the date of initiation. Currently, the
preliminary determinations in these
investigations are due on April 11,
2016.2
On March 10, 2016, Bull Moose Tube
Company; EXLTUBE; Wheatland Tube,
a division of JMC Steel Group; and
Western Tube and Conduit (hereafter,
the petitioners) made timely requests,
pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.205(e), for an extension
of the deadline for the preliminary
determinations in the investigations.3
The petitioners stated that a
postponement of the preliminary
determinations in all four CWP
investigations is necessary to provide
the Department with sufficient time to
reach reasoned preliminary
determinations.
Under section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act,
if a petitioner makes a timely request for
an extension of the period within which
the preliminary determination must be
made under subsection (b)(1), then the
Department may postpone making the
