Background
On June 11, 2018, the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) initiated lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of
imports of steel propane cylinders from
China, Taiwan, and Thailand.1 On June
20, 2018, Commerce terminated its
antidumping duty investigation of
imports of steel propane cylinders from
Taiwan, following the petitioners’2
withdrawal of the petition and request
that the investigation be terminated.3
Because Commerce has terminated its
investigation of steel propane cylinderes
from Taiwan, the U.S. International
Trade Commission (ITC)’s investigation
is also terminated.4 The preliminary

determinations for China and Thailand
are currently due no later than October
29, 2018.
Postponement of Preliminary
Determinations
Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
Commerce to issue the preliminary
determination in an LTFV investigation
within 140 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation.
However, section 733(c)(1) of the Act
permits Commerce to postpone the
preliminary determination until no later
than 190 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation if:
(A) The petitioner makes a timely
request for a postponement; or (B)
Commerce 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
state the reasons for the request.
Commerce will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny the
request.5
On October 1, 2018, the petitioners
submitted timely requests to postpone
the preliminary determinations in these
LTFV investigations.6 The petitioners
stated that they requested postponement
because Commerce is still gathering data
and questionnaire responses from the
foreign producers in these
investigations, and additional time is
necessary for interested parties to
respond to additional requests from
Commerce before Commerce makes its
preliminary determinations.
For the reasons stated above and
because there are no compelling reasons
to deny the petitioners’ request,
Commerce, 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, Commerce will issue its
preliminary determinations no later
than December 18, 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

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act)
and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce
determined, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise, in
accordance with the final results of this
review. If a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),
we will calculate importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for an importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of such
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where either the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an
importer-specific rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above
in the Final Results of Review,
including those for which Commerce
may determine had no shipments
during the POR, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review or another
completed segment of this proceeding,
but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
for the most recently completed segment
of this proceeding for the producer of
the merchandise; and (4) if neither the
exporter nor the producer is a firm
PO 00000
Frm 00006

covered in this or a previously
completed segment of this proceeding,
then the cash deposit rate will be the
‘‘all-others’’ rate of 15.67 percent
established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.5 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

Notice of Findings Regarding Non-U.S.
Commercial Availability of Satellite
Imagery With Respect to Israel
ACTION:
Notice.
Consistent with the
requirement that commercial remote
sensing licensees operate their systems
in a manner that protects national
security concerns, foreign policy and
international obligations, Section 1064,
Public Law 104–201, (the 1997 Defense
Authorization Act), referred to as the
Kyl-Bingaman Amendment, requires
that ‘‘[a] department or agency of the
United States may issue a license for the
collection or dissemination by a nonFederal entity of satellite imagery with
respect to Israel only if such imagery is
no more detailed or precise than
satellite imagery of Israel that is
available from commercial sources.’’
Pursuant to this law, the Department of
Commerce will make findings as to the
level of detail or precision of satellite
imagery of Israel available from
commercial sources. The Department
has found that imagery over Israel is not
readily and consistently available in
sufficient quantities from non-U.S.
sources at under the 2 m Ground
Sample Distance (GSD) resolution limit
currently set by the Department;
therefore, the Department is not
changing this resolution limit.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:34 Oct 12, 2018
Jkt 247001
This
Notice informs U.S. satellite operators
collecting imagery over Israel or with
plans to collect imagery over Israel that
current restrictions regarding data
collection/dissemination of imagery
over Israel remain in place with the
resolution limit at 2 m GSD. This Notice
is consistent with the requirement that
the Department of Commerce review
non-U.S. commercial availability of
imagery over Israel and any input from
licensees or from the general public and
publish findings of this review in the
Federal Register.
To determine what imagery is
‘‘available from commercial sources,’’
the Department looks to what ‘‘level of
imagery resolution [is] readily and
consistently available in sufficient
quantities from non-U.S. sources.’’
Licensing of Private Land RemoteSensing Space Systems, 71 FR 24474,
24479 (Apr. 25, 2006). After a recent
investigation and analysis, the
Department determined that imagery
over Israel is not readily and
consistently available in sufficient
quantities from non-U.S. sources at
under 2 m GSD to consider sub-2 m
imagery ‘‘commercially available.’’
There are non-U.S. commercial
sources that are capturing imagery at
lower than the 2 m resolution limit, but
very little of this imagery is available for
sale. Further, the imagery is not easily
accessible enough to be readily
available. A customer must apply to
acquire the imagery. Even if their
application is granted and the customer
is able to buy imagery at under 2 m, the
license terms of the sale often restrict
the customer from further disseminating
the imagery. Therefore, the Department
has determined that commercial
imagery is not readily or consistently
available from non-U.S. sources in
sufficient quantities to be considered
commercially available.
The Department of Commerce may reevaluate this finding in the future as
additional information is made
available.

Company Limited's (Pacific Pipe); Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public)
Company, Ltd.'s (Saha Thai); and Thai Premium Pipe Co., Ltd.'s (Thai
Premium) weighted-average dumping margins. For further discussion, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce determined, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise, in accordance
with the final results of this review. If a respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent), we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for an importer's examined sales and the total entered value
of such sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where either the
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an importer-specific rate
is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. Commerce
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this review; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not listed above in the Final
Results of Review, including those for which Commerce may determine had
no shipments during the POR, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review or another completed segment of this proceeding, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the
producer of the merchandise; and (4) if neither the exporter nor the
producer is a firm covered in this or a previously completed segment of

Notification 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.

administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
