Activity; Ball Metal Beverage Container
Corporation (Aluminum Cans and

Ball Metal Beverage Container
Corporation (Ball) submitted a
notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board for its facility
in Goodyear, Arizona. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on December 5,
2019.
The Ball facility is located within FTZ
277. The facility is used for the

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 18, 2019 / Notices
in the submitted notification (as
described below) and subsequently
authorized by the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Ball from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status
component used in export production.
On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus component noted below, Ball
would be able to choose the duty rates
during customs entry procedures that
apply to: Aluminum cans; can ends and
lids; and, aluminum briquettes (duty
rate ranges from duty free to 5.7%). Ball
would be able to avoid duty on the
foreign-status component which
becomes scrap/waste. Customs duties
also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign-status production
equipment.
The component/material sourced
from abroad is coils of aluminum alloy
sheets (duty rate 3%). The request
indicates that the coils of aluminum
alloy sheets are subject to special duties
under Section 232 of the Trade

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
On March 6, 2019, Commerce
published the AD and CVD orders on
large diameter welded pipe from India.1
On October 18, 2019, nine members of
the domestic industry, including the
petitioners from the underlying
investigations (individually and as
members of the American Line Pipe
Producers Association), and Welspun
Global Trade LLC, requested that
Commerce initiate CCRs to revoke, in
part, the AD and CVD orders of large
diameter welded pipe from India with
respect to certain large diameter welded
pipe products within four specific
groups of grades, outside diameters, and
wall thicknesses.2
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these
orders is welded carbon and alloy steel
line pipe (other than stainless steel
pipe), more than 406.4 mm (16 inches)
in nominal outside diameter (large
diameter welded line pipe), regardless
of wall thickness, length, surface finish,
grade, end finish, or stenciling. Large
diameter welded pipe may be used to
transport oil, gas, slurry, steam, or other
fluids, liquids, or gases.
Large diameter welded line pipe is
used to transport oil, gas, or natural gas
liquids and is normally produced to the
American Petroleum Institute (API)
specification 5L. Large diameter welded
line pipe can be produced to
comparable foreign specifications,
grades and/or standards or to
proprietary specifications, grades and/or
1 See Large Diameter Welded Pipe from India:
Antidumping Duty Order, 84 FR 8079 (March 6,

2019) (collectively, Orders).

standards, or can be non-graded
material. All line pipe meeting the
physical description set forth above,
including any dual- or multiplecertified/stenciled pipe with an API (or
comparable) welded line pipe
certification/stencil, is covered by the
scope of the orders.
Subject merchandise also includes
large diameter welded line pipe that has
been further processed in a third
country, including but not limited to
coating, painting, notching, beveling,
cutting, punching, welding, or any other
processing that would not otherwise
remove the merchandise from the scope
of the order if performed in the country
of manufacture of the in-scope large
diameter welded line pipe.
Excluded from the scope of the orders
is structural pipe, which is produced
only to American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM) standards A500,
A252, or A53, or other relevant
domestic specifications, or comparable
foreign specifications, grades and/or
standards or to proprietary
specifications, grades and/or standards.
Also excluded is large diameter welded
pipe produced only to specifications of
the American Water Works Association
(AWWA) for water and sewage pipe.
The large diameter welded line pipe
that is subject to these orders is
currently classifiable in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) under subheadings
7305.11.1030, 7305.11.1060,
7305.11.5000, 7305.12.1030,
7305.12.1060, 7305.12.5000,
7305.19.1030, 7305.19.1060, and
7305.19.5000. Merchandise currently
classifiable under subheadings
7305.31.4000, 7305.31.6090,
7305.39.1000 and 7305.39.5000 and that
otherwise meets the above scope
language is also covered. While the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of these
orders is dispositive.
Initiation and Expedited Preliminary
Results 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), Commerce will
conduct a CCR of an AD or CVD order
when it receives information which
shows changed circumstances sufficient
to warrant such a review. Section
782(h)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.222(g)(1)(i) provide that Commerce
may revoke an order (in whole or in
part) if it determines that producers
accounting for substantially all of the
production of the domestic like product
have no further interest in the order, in
