state the reasons for the request. The
Department will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny the
request. See 19 CFR 351.205(e).
On November 7, 2017, the petitioner
submitted a timely request that the
Department postpone the preliminary
determinations in these LTFV
investigations.3 The petitioner stated
that it requests postponement because
the Department is still gathering data
and questionnaire responses, and
additional time is necessary for the
Department and interested parties to
review and analyze all questionnaire
responses, as well as for interested
parties to comment on these responses.4
For the reasons stated above and
because there are no compelling reasons
to deny the request, the Department, in
accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, is postponing the deadline for
the preliminary determinations by 50
days (i.e., 190 days after the date on
which these investigations were
initiated). As a result, the Department
will issue its preliminary
determinations no later than January 23,
2018. In accordance with section
735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final
determinations of these investigations
will continue to be 75 days after the
date of the preliminary determinations,
unless postponed at a later date.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
Since the Final Determination, the
Department has not established a new
cash deposit rate for PT or all other
producers and exporters. As a result, in
accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of
the Act, the Department will instruct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection to
collect cash deposits at the rates for
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the rates for exporters
and producers listed above in this
notice, effective October 14, 2017.
Background
Notification to Interested Parties
Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to issue the preliminary
determination in an LTFV investigation
within 140 days after the date on which
the Department initiated the
investigation. However, section
733(c)(1) of the Act permits the
Department to postpone the preliminary
determination until no later than 190
days after the date on which the
Department initiated the investigation
if: (A) the petitioner 2 makes a timely
request for a postponement; or (B) the
Department concludes that the parties
concerned are cooperating, that the
investigation is extraordinarily
complicated, and that additional time is
necessary to make a preliminary
determination. Under 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a
request for postponement 25 days or
more before the scheduled date of the
preliminary determination and must

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 222 / Monday, November 20, 2017 / Notices
On August 8, 2017, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on seamless
refined copper pipe and tube from the
People’s Republic of China (PRC) for the
period of review (POR), November 1,
2015, through October 31, 2016. For the
final results of this review, the
Department continues to determine that
the five remaining companies under
review failed to establish their eligibility
for a separate rate for the POR, and thus,
are part of the PRC-wide entity. The
final dumping margin of sales at the
PRC-Wide Entity rate is listed below in
the ‘‘Final Results’’ section of this
notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
On August 8, 2017, the Department
published the Preliminary Results of the
antidumping duty order on seamless
refined copper pipe and tube from the
PRC.1 We invited parties to submit
comments on the Preliminary Results,
but we received no comments. The
Department conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).

Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is seamless refined copper pipe and
tube. The product is currently classified
under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS) item
numbers 7411.10.1030 and
7411.10.1090. Products subject to this
order may also enter under HTSUS item
numbers 7407.10.1500, 7419.99.5050,
8415.90.8065, and 8415.90.8085.
Although the HTSUS numbers are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of this order remains dispositive.2

Analysis of Comments Received
As noted above, we received no
comments on the Preliminary Results.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
As no parties submitted comments on
the Preliminary Results, the Department
has not modified its analysis from that
presented in the Preliminary Results,
and no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register
notice. Further, the Department has
made no adjustments to the
determination that China Hailiang Metal
Trading (China Hailiang), Shanghai
Hailiang Metal Trading Limited
(Shanghai Hailiang Trading), Hong Kong
Hailiang, Shanghai Hailiang, and
Zhejiang Hailiang did not demonstrate
that they are entitled to a separate rate.
Accordingly, we continue to determine
it appropriate to consider all five
companies to be part of the PRC-Wide
entity.3 The rate previously established
for the PRC-wide entity is 60.85
percent.4
Final Results
The final weighted-average dumping
margin is as follows:

3 See Preliminary Decision Memorandum, at 4–5.
Pursuant to the Department’s change in practice,
the Department no longer considers the non-market
economy (NME) entity as an exporter conditionally
subject to administrative reviews. See Antidumping
Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in
Antidumping Duty Proceedings and Conditional
Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME
Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963,
65970 (November 4, 2013). Under this practice, the
NME entity will not be under review unless a party
specifically requests, or the Department selfinitiates, a review of the entity. Because no party
requested a review of the entity, the entity is not
under review and the entity’s rate is not subject to
change.
4 The rate for the PRC-Wide Entity was first
assigned in the less than fair value investigation of
seamless refined copper pipe and tube from the
PRC, see Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and Tube
from the People’s Republic of China: Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 75
FR 60725, 60729 (October 1, 2010). This rate has
been used in each subsequent administrative review
in which there was a party being considered as part
of the PRC-Wide Entity.
5 The PRC-wide entity includes China Hailiang,
Shanghai Hailiang Trading, Hong Kong Hailiang,
Shanghai Hailiang, and Zhejiang Hailiang.

the PRC-wide entity. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the publication
date of the final results of this
administrative review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; (2) for all
PRC exporters of subject merchandise
that have not been found to be entitled
to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate
will be that for the PRC-Wide rate (i.e.,
60.85 percent); and (3) for all non-PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the PRC exporter that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Disclosure
Normally, the Department discloses to
interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the final
results within five days of its public
announcement, or if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the
date of publication of this notice in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
However, because the Department
determined that China Hailiang,
Shanghai Hailiang Trading, Hong Kong
Hailiang, Shanghai Hailiang, and
Zhejiang Hailiang are part of the PRCwide entity, and have been assigned the
PRC-wide rate, there are no calculations
to disclose.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the 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 or 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 violation subject to sanction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 18, 2017, the Department
published the Preliminary Results of
this review in the Federal Register.1 We
invited parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. On June 19, 2017,
we received a case brief from Wheatland
Tube Group (the petitioner).2 On June
26, 2017, we received a rebuttal brief
from Shin Yang.3 The Department
conducted this review in accordance
with section 751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is certain circular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from Taiwan. The
product is currently classified under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) item numbers
7306.30.5025, 7306.30.5032,
7306.30.5040, and 7306.30.5055.
Although the HTSUS numbers are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written product
description remains dispositive.4
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department preliminarily determined
that Yieh Hsing had no shipments
during the period of review (POR).5
Following publication of the
Preliminary Results, we received no
comments from interested parties
regarding Yieh Hsing. As a result, and
because the record contains no evidence
to the contrary, we continue to find that

instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate any
existing entries of merchandise
produced by Yieh Hsing, but exported
by other parties without their own rate,
at the all-others rate.6

of the antidumping duty order on seamless refined copper pipe and tube
from the PRC.\1\ We invited parties to submit comments on the

Analysis of Comments Received
As noted above, we received no comments on the Preliminary Results.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
As no parties submitted comments on the Preliminary Results, the
Department has not modified its analysis from that presented in the
Preliminary Results, and no decision memorandum accompanies this
Federal Register notice. Further, the Department has made no
adjustments to the determination that China Hailiang Metal Trading
(China Hailiang), Shanghai Hailiang Metal Trading Limited (Shanghai
Hailiang Trading), Hong Kong Hailiang, Shanghai Hailiang, and Zhejiang
Hailiang did not demonstrate that they are entitled to a separate rate.
Accordingly, we continue to determine it appropriate to consider all
five companies to be part of the PRC-Wide entity.\3\ The rate
previously established for the PRC-wide entity is 60.85 percent.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum, at 4-5. Pursuant to the
Department's change in practice, the Department no longer considers
the non-market economy (NME) entity as an exporter conditionally
subject to administrative reviews. See Antidumping Proceedings:
Announcement of Change in Department Practice for Respondent
Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings and Conditional Review of
the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78
FR 65963, 65970 (November 4, 2013). Under this practice, the NME
entity will not be under review unless a party specifically
requests, or the Department self-initiates, a review of the entity.
Because no party requested a review of the entity, the entity is not
under review and the entity's rate is not subject to change.
\4\ The rate for the PRC-Wide Entity was first assigned in the
less than fair value investigation of seamless refined copper pipe
and tube from the PRC, see Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and Tube
from the People's Republic of China: Final Determination of Sales at
Less Than Fair Value, 75 FR 60725, 60729 (October 1, 2010). This

there was a party being considered as part of the PRC-Wide Entity.

We have not calculated any assessment (or cash deposit) rates in
this administrative review, because the five companies under review are
a part of the PRC-wide entity. The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of
the final results of this administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ The PRC-wide entity includes China Hailiang, Shanghai
Hailiang Trading, Hong Kong Hailiang, Shanghai Hailiang, and
Zhejiang Hailiang.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-
specific rate; (2) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit
rate will be that for the PRC-Wide rate (i.e., 60.85 percent); and (3)
for all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to
the PRC exporter that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Disclosure
Normally, the Department discloses to interested parties the
calculations performed in connection with the final results within five
days of its public announcement, or if there is no public announcement,
within five days of the date of publication of this notice in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because the Department
determined that China Hailiang, Shanghai Hailiang Trading, Hong Kong
Hailiang, Shanghai Hailiang, and Zhejiang Hailiang are part of the PRC-
wide entity, and have been assigned the PRC-wide rate, there are no
calculations to disclose.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the 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 or
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 violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and
351.221(b)(5).
