SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On April 20, 2016, the Department of
Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) initiated
the countervailing duty investigation of
1-Hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-Diphosphonic
Acid (‘‘HEDP’’) from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’).1 Currently,
the preliminary determination is due no
later than June 24, 2016.

Postponement of Due Date for the
Preliminary Determination
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), requires
the Department to issue the preliminary
determination in a countervailing duty
investigation within 65 days after the
date on which the Department initiated
the investigation. However, section
703(c)(1) of the Act permits the
Department to postpone making the
preliminary determination until no later
than 130 days after the date on which
it initiated the investigation if, among
other reasons, the petitioner makes a
timely request for a postponement, or
the Department concludes that the
parties concerned are cooperating and
determines that the investigation is
extraordinarily complicated.
Currently, while the Department has
not yet chosen mandatory respondents,
we determine that, thus far, the parties
concerned are cooperating because each
has made an entry of appearance in this
investigation.2 Also, the Department
1 See 1-Hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-Diphosphonic
Acid from People’s Republic of China: Initiation of
Countervailing Duty Investigation, 81 FR 25383
(April 28, 2016) (‘‘Initiation’’). Although the
Initiation inadvertently stated the effective date of
initiation was February 20, 2016, the correct
effective date is April 20, 2016. Id.

must analyze four complicated alleged
subsidy programs 3 for each respondent,
including companies that are crossowned with each respondent, and likely
issue multiple supplemental
questionnaires. For all these reasons, the
Department finds this investigation to
be extraordinarily complicated within
the meaning of section 703(c)(1)(B) of
the Act, and is hereby fully postponing
the preliminary countervailing duty
determination by 130 days.4 Therefore,
pursuant to the discretion afforded to
the Department under section
703(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we are
postponing the due date for the
preliminary determination to no later
than August 29, 2016.5
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the
administrative review, the Department
shall determine and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. If Tension Steel’s weightedaverage dumping margin is above de
minimis in the final results of this
review, we will calculate an importerspecific assessment rate on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of the sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If Tension
Steel’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis in the final
results of review, we will instruct CBP
not to assess duties on any of its entries
in accordance with the Final
Modification for Reviews, i.e., ‘‘{w}here

For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Tension
Steel for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, 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 liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this

(Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
The Department is conducting this administrative review in
accordance with section 751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). Constructed export price is calculated in accordance with
section 772 of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with
section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is made
available to the public via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov, and
is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room B8024 of
the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete
version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be found at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. A list of the topics discussed in
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as an Appendix to this
notice.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of this administrative review, we preliminarily
determine that a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists
for Tension Steel Industries Co., Ltd., for the period July 18, 2014,
through August 31, 2015.
Disclosure and Public Comment
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these
preliminary results to the parties within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), interested parties may submit case
briefs not later than 30 days after the date of publication of this
notice. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs,
may be filed not later than five days after the date for filing case
briefs.\2\ Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, the Department shall
determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If Tension Steel's
weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis in the final
results of this review, we will calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the importer's examined sales and the
total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). If Tension Steel's weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis in the final results of review, we will instruct CBP
not to assess duties on any of its entries in accordance with the Final
Modification for Reviews, i.e., ``{w{time} here the weighted-average
margin of dumping for the exporter is determined to be zero or de
minimis, no antidumping duties will be assessed.''.\5\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,
2012) (Final Modification for Reviews).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Tension Steel for which it did not know its merchandise was destined
for the United States, 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 liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of this review for all
shipments of OCTG Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Tension Steel will
be the rate established in the final results of this administrative
review; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not
covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 2.34 percent,\6\ the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary 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
[[Page 38137]]
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
The Department is issuing and publishing these results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: June 7, 2016.
