SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is initiating a changed circumstances review (CCR) of the antidumping duty (AD) order on large diameter welded pipe from Greece. DATES: Applicable February 21, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brittany Bauer, AD/CVD Operations, Office II, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–3860. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: Background On May 2, 2019, Commerce published the AD order on large diameter welded pipe from Greece.1 On January 3, 2020, Corinth Pipeworks Pipe Industry S.A. (Corinth), a Greek producer of large diameter welded pipe, filed a CCR request, including as an attachment the CCR request filed in the companion Indian cases by 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.2 In that CCR request, the domestic industry requested that Commerce initiate CCRs to revoke, in part, the AD and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on large diameter welded pipe from India, with respect to certain large diameter welded pipe products within four specific groups of grades, 1 See Large Diameter Welded Pipe from Greece: Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping Determination and Antidumping Duty Order, 84 FR 18769 (May 2, 2019) (Order). 2 See Corinth’s Letter, ‘‘Large Diameter Welded Pipe from Greece: Request for Changed Circumstances Review and Revocation, In Part,’’ dated January 3, 2020 (Corinth CCR Request). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:22 Feb 20, 2020 Jkt 250001 outside diameters, and wall thicknesses.3 Corinth stated that, because the domestic industry expressed no interest in these products from India, and because the same groups of products are produced and exported from Greece, the domestic industry’s statement of no interest should also apply to large diameter welded pipe from Greece.4 Corinth requests that we change the scope of the AD order on large diameter pipe from Greece by adding the exclusion language provided in the Attachment to this notice. Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by this order 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 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 order. 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 order is structural pipe, which is produced only to American Society for Testing 3 Id. at Exhibits 2 to 5. Exhibit 2 is the Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Large Diameter Welded Pipe from India: Petitioners’ Request for Changed Circumstances Review and Partial Revocation,’’ dated October 18, 2019 (Petitioner’s Indian LDWP CCR Request). 4 Id. at 5–8 and Exhibits 1 and 2 (citing Large Diameter Welded Pipe from India: Initiation and Expedited Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Changed Circumstances Reviews, 84 FR 69356 (December 18, 2019) (Indian Welded Pipe CCR). PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 this order 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 this order is dispositive. 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), 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 whole or in part. For the reasons discussed below, we find that such sufficient information exists to warrant initiation of a CCR. The ten domestic producers who filed the request on the Indian orders asserted that they account for ‘‘substantially all’’ 5 of the domestic production of large diameter welded pipe.6 Because there is no record information that contradicts this claim, in accordance with section 751(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i), we find that the ten domestic producers comprise 5 In its administrative practice, Commerce has interpreted ‘‘substantially all’’ to mean at least 85 percent of the total production of the domestic like product covered by the order. See, e.g., Supercalendered Paper from Canada: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review and Revocation of Countervailing Duty Order, 83 FR 32268 (July 12, 2018). 6 See Corinth CCR Request at Exhibit 2; see also Indian Welded Pipe CCR, 84 FR at 69357.
