62865
accordance with the above-referenced
statute and regulation, the Department
is initiating a changed circumstances
review.
We intend to issue the final results of
the changed circumstances review
within 270 days from the date of
initiation of this changed circumstance
review, or within 45 days if all parties
to the proceeding agree to the outcome
of the review.8 During the course of this
review, we will not change the cash
deposit requirements for the subject
merchandise. The cash deposit rate will
be changed, if warranted, pursuant only
to the final results of the changed
circumstances review.
This notice of initiation is in
accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(1).
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 July 21, 2016, the
Department published its affirmative
final determinations in the less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigations of
heavy walled rectangular welded carbon
steel pipes and tubes from Korea,
Mexico, and Turkey.1 On September 6,
2016, 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 heavy
walled rectangular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from Korea, Mexico,
and Turkey.2
Dated: September 7, 2016.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Operations.
Initiation of Changed Circumstances
Review
Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act)
and 19 CFR 351.216(d), the Department
will conduct a changed circumstances
review upon receipt of information
concerning, or a request from an
interested party for a review of, an
antidumping duty order which shows
changed circumstances sufficient to
warrant a review of the order. In
antidumping duty changed
circumstances reviews involving a
successor-in-interest determination, the
Department typically examines several
factors including, but not limited to: (1)
Management; (2) production facilities;
(3) supplier relationships; and (4)
customer base.6
Based on the information Petitioners
submitted in their July 29, 2016, letter,
we find that we have received
information which shows changed
circumstances sufficient to warrant
initiation of such a review in order to
determine whether Tamma is the
successor-in-interest to the company
excluded from the AD Order that was
previously affiliated with the now
defunct Delverde S.p.A.7 Therefore, in
Lhorne on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES
is typically sold in the retail market, in
fiberboard or cardboard cartons, or
polyethylene or polypropylene bags of
varying dimensions.
Excluded from the scope of this order
are refrigerated, frozen, or canned
pastas, as well all forms of egg pasta,
with the exception of non-egg dry pasta
containing up to two percent egg white.
Also excluded are imports of organic
pasta from Italy that are certified by a
European Union (EU) authorized body
and accompanied by a National Organic
Program import certificate for organic
products. Effective July 1, 2008, gluten
free pasta is also excluded from this
order.
The merchandise subject to this order
is currently classifiable under items
1902.19.20 and 1901.90.9095 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
subject to the AD Order is dispositive.

The subject merchandise is currently
provided for in item 7306.61.1000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Subject
merchandise may also enter under
HTSUS 7306.61.3000. While the HTSUS
subheadings and ASTM specification
are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of this
investigation is dispositive.
from Korea, Mexico, and Turkey
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after March 1,
2016, the date of publication of the
preliminary determinations,4 but will
not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures
period and before publication of the
ITC’s final injury determinations as
further described below.
Antidumping Duty Orders
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 heavy walled
rectangular welded carbon steel pipes
and tubes from Korea, Mexico, and
Turkey. In the Turkey Final
Determination the Department
calculated a zero percent margin for
Ozdemir Boru Profil San. Ve Tic. Ltd.
Sti. (Ozdemir). Accordingly, Ozdemir is
excluded from the antidumping duty
order, and no suspension of liquidation
is required for heavy walled rectangular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
from Turkey produced and exported by
Ozdemir. 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.5 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
As stated above, on September 6,
2016, 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
heavy walled rectangular welded carbon
steel pipes and tubes from Korea,
Mexico, and Turkey.3 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 heavy
walled rectangular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from Korea, Turkey,
and Mexico are materially injuring a
U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of
such merchandise from Korea, Mexico,
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
heavy walled rectangular welded carbon
steel pipes and tubes from Korea,
Mexico, and Turkey. Antidumping
duties will be assessed on unliquidated
entries of heavy walled rectangular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
Suspension of Liquidation
countervailing duty investigation of this
merchandise imported from Turkey.6
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
heavy walled rectangular welded carbon
steel pipes and tubes from Korea,
Mexico, and Turkey, we extended the
four-month period to six months in each
case.7 In the underlying investigations,
the Department published the
preliminary determinations on March 1,
2016. Therefore, the extended period,
beginning on the date of publication of
the preliminary determinations, ended
on August 28, 2016. 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 heavy walled rectangular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
from Korea, Mexico, and Turkey
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after August 28,
2016, 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
determinations in the Federal Register.

Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these orders is certain heavy walled
rectangular welded steel pipes and tubes of rectangular (including
square) cross section, having a nominal wall thickness of not less than
4 mm. The merchandise includes, but is not limited to, the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A-500, grade B specifications,
or comparable domestic or foreign specifications.
Included products are those in which: (1) Iron predominates, by
weight, over each of the other contained elements; (2) the carbon
content is 2 percent or less, by weight; and (3) none of the elements
below exceeds the quantity, by weight, respectively indicated:
2.50 percent of manganese, or
3.30 percent of silicon, or
1.50 percent of copper, or
1.50 percent of aluminum, or

[[Page 62866]]
The subject merchandise is currently provided for in item
7306.61.1000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS). Subject merchandise may also enter under HTSUS 7306.61.3000.
While the HTSUS subheadings and ASTM specification are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope
of this investigation is dispositive.
Antidumping Duty Orders
As stated above, on September 6, 2016, 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 heavy walled rectangular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from Korea, Mexico, and Turkey.\3\ 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
heavy walled rectangular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from
Korea, Turkey, and Mexico are materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Korea, Mexico, and Turkey
entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the
assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 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 heavy walled rectangular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Korea, Mexico, and Turkey.
Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of heavy
walled rectangular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Korea,
Mexico, and Turkey entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after March 1, 2016, the date of publication of the
preliminary determinations,\4\ but will not include entries occurring
after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before
publication of the ITC's final injury determinations 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 heavy walled rectangular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from
Korea, Mexico, and Turkey. In the Turkey Final Determination the
Department calculated a zero percent margin for Ozdemir Boru Profil
San. Ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. (Ozdemir). Accordingly, Ozdemir is excluded from
the antidumping duty order, and no suspension of liquidation is
required for heavy walled rectangular welded carbon steel pipes and
tubes from Turkey produced and exported by Ozdemir. 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.\5\ 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.\6\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 heavy walled rectangular welded carbon steel pipes and
tubes from Korea, Mexico, and Turkey, we extended the four-month period
to six months in each case.\7\ In the underlying investigations, the
Department published the preliminary determinations on March 1, 2016.
Therefore, the extended period, beginning on the date of publication of
the preliminary determinations, ended on August 28, 2016. 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Korea Preliminary Determination, Mexico 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 heavy walled rectangular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from Korea, Mexico, and Turkey entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 28, 2016, 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 determinations in
the Federal Register.
