No interested parties submitted case briefs or written comments. Scope of the Orders The merchandise covered by the scope of these orders is cast iron soil pipe fittings, finished and unfinished, regardless of industry or proprietary specifications, and regardless of size. Cast iron soil pipe fittings are nonmalleable iron castings of various designs and sizes, including, but not limited to, bends, tees, wyes, traps, drains (other than drain bodies), and other common or special fittings, with or without side inlets. Cast iron soil pipe fittings are classified into two major types—hubless and hub and spigot. Hubless cast iron soil pipe fittings are manufactured without a hub, generally in compliance with Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute (CISPI) specification 301 and/or American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specification A888. Hub and spigot pipe fittings have hubs into which the spigot (plain end) of the pipe or fitting is inserted. Cast iron soil pipe fittings are generally distinguished from other types of nonmalleable cast iron fittings by the manner in which they are connected to cast iron soil pipe and other fittings. Excluded from the scope are all drain bodies. Drain bodies are normally classified in subheading 7326.90.86.88 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). The cast iron soil pipe fittings subject to the scope of these orders are normally classified in subheading 7307.11.0045 of the HTSUS: Cast fittings of nonmalleable cast iron for cast iron soil 1 See Cast Iron Soil Pipe Fittings from the People’s Republic of China: Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 83 FR 44570 and Cast Iron Soil Pipe Fittings from the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 83 FR 44566, both dated August 31, 2018 (collectively, the Orders). 2 See Cast Iron Soil Pipe Fittings from the People’s Republic of China: Initiation and Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Reviews, 84 FR 64263 (November 21, 2019) (Preliminary Results).

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Reviews

    Because the record contains no information or evidence that calls 
into question the Preliminary Results, for the reasons stated in the
