interested parties provide to Commerce
a reasonable basis to believe or suspect
that the products are being used in a
covered application. If such information
is provided, we will require end-use
certification only for the product(s) (or
specification(s)) for which evidence is
provided that such products are being
used in covered applications as
described above. For example, if, based
on evidence provided by petitioner,
Commerce finds a reasonable basis to
believe or suspect that seamless pipe
produced to the A–161 specification is
being used in a standard, line or
pressure application, we will require
end-use certifications for imports of that
specification. Normally we will require
only the importer of record to certify to
the end use of the imported
merchandise. If it later proves necessary
for adequate implementation, we may
also require producers who export such
products to the United States to provide
such certification on invoices
accompanying shipments to the United
States.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, our written description of the
merchandise subject to this scope is
dispositive.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
As no parties submitted comments on
the margin calculation methodology
used in the Preliminary Results,
Commerce made no adjustments to that
methodology in the final results of this
review.

Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, Commerce
determines that a weighted-average
dumping margin of 0.00 percent exists
for entries of subject merchandise that
were produced and/or exported by
Silcotub during the POR. In addition,
after issuing the Preliminary Results, we
received no information that
contradicted our preliminary finding of
no shipments with respect to
ArcelorMittal.4 Therefore, for these final
results, we continue to find that Arcelor
Mittal did not make shipments of the
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR.
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with these
final results, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
4 See
Preliminary Results, 85 FR at 27359, and
PDM at 5.

351.212(b). Because we calculated a
zero margin for Silcotub, we intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties. Consistent with Commerce’s
clarification of its assessment practice,
because we determined that
ArcelorMittal had no shipments of
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced, but not exported by,
ArcelorMittal, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate any entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.5
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of these final
results for all shipments of small
diameter seamless pipe from Romania
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit
rate for Silcotub will be zero, and the
cash deposit rate for ArcelorMittal will
remain unchanged from the rate
assigned to it in the most recently
completed review of ArcelorMittal; (2)
for merchandise exported by
manufacturers or exporters not covered
in this review but covered in a
completed prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation, but
the manufacturer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
for the most recently-completed
segment for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate
for all other manufacturers or exporters
will continue to be 13.06 percent, the
all-others rate established in the Order.
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
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 POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Department’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties has occurred and
the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3), 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,
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 terms of an APO is a
violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We intend to issue and publish these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 2, 2020, Commerce
initiated the second sunset review of the
countervailing duty Order 1 covering
commodity matchbooks from India,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2
Commerce received a notice of intent to
participate in this sunset review from
D.D. Bean & Sons Co. (the petitioner),
within the 15-day period specified in 19
CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3 The petitioner
claimed interested party status under
section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a
producer of the domestic like product.4
The petitioner subsequently filed its
substantive response to the Notice of
Initiation.5 Commerce did not receive a
substantive response from the
Government of India (GOI) or any
respondent interested parties. In
accordance with section 751(c)(3)(B) of
the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the Order on
commodity matchbooks from India.
Scope of the Order
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
The scope of this order covers
commodity matchbooks, also known as
commodity book matches, paper
matches or booklet matches.6
Commodity matchbooks typically, but
do not necessarily, consist of twenty
match stems which are usually made
from paperboard or similar material
tipped with a match head composed of
any chemical formula. The match stems
may be stitched, stapled or otherwise
fastened into a matchbook cover of any
material, on which a striking strip
composed of any chemical formula has
been applied to assist in the ignition
process.

Countervailing Duty Order, 74 FR 65740 (December
11, 2009) (Order).
2 See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 85
FR 12253 (March 2, 2020) (Notice of Initiation).

5 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Commodity Matchbooks
from India: Substantive Response to a Notice of
Initiation,’’ dated April 2, 2020 (Petitioner’s
Substantive Response).
6 Such commodity matchbooks are also referred
to as ‘‘for resale’’ because they always enter into
retail channels, meaning businesses that sell a
general variety of tangible merchandise, e.g.,
convenience stores, supermarkets, dollar stores,
drug stores and mass merchandisers.

Commodity matchbooks included in
the scope of this order may or may not
contain printing. For example, they may
have no printing other than the
identification of the manufacturer or
importer. Commodity matchbooks may
also be printed with a generic message
such as ‘‘Thank You’’ or a generic image
such as the American Flag, with store
brands (e.g., Kroger, 7-Eleven, Shurfine
or Giant); product brands for national or
regional advertisers such as cigarettes or
alcoholic beverages; or with corporate
brands for national or regional
distributors (e.g., Penley Corp. or
Diamond Brands). They all enter retail
distribution channels. Regardless of the
materials used for the stems of the
matches and regardless of the way the
match stems are fastened to the
matchbook cover, all commodity
matchbooks are included in the scope of
this investigation. All matchbooks,
including commodity matchbooks,
typically comply with the United States
Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) Safety Standard for Matchbooks,
codified at 16 CFR 1202.1 through
1202.7.
The scope of this order excludes
promotional matchbooks, often referred
to as ‘‘not for resale,’’ or ‘‘specialty
advertising’’ matchbooks, as they do not
enter into retail channels and are sold
to businesses that provide hospitality,
dining, drinking or entertainment
services to their customers, and are
given away by these businesses as
promotional items. Such promotional
matchbooks are distinguished by the
physical characteristic of having the
name and/or logo of a bar, restaurant,
resort, hotel, club, cafe´/coffee shop,
grill, pub, eatery, lounge, casino,
barbecue or individual establishment
printed prominently on the matchbook
cover. Promotional matchbook cover
printing also typically includes the
address and the phone number of the
business or establishment being
promoted.7 Also excluded are all other
matches that are not fastened into a
matchbook cover such as wooden
matches, stick matches, box matches,
kitchen matches, pocket matches, penny
matches, household matches, strikeanywhere matches (aka ‘‘SAW’’
matches), strike-on-box matches (aka
7 The gross distinctions between commodity
matchbooks and promotional matchbooks may be
summarized as follows: (1) If it has no printing, or
is printed with a generic message such as ‘‘Thank
You’’ or a generic image such as the American Flag,
or printed with national or regional store brands or
corporate brands, it is commodity; (2) if it has
printing, and the printing includes the name of a
bar, restaurant, resort, hotel, club, cafe´/coffee shop,
grill, pub, eatery, lounge, casino, barbecue, or
individual establishment prominently displayed on
the matchbook cover, it is promotional.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 17, 2019, NIST/NOAA
published a notice to deprecate the
survey foot titled ‘‘Deprecation of the
United States (U.S.) Survey Foot’’ in the
Federal Register (84 FR 55562). In that
notice, NIST/NOAA proposed to
deprecate the ‘‘U.S. survey foot’’ and to
require that its use in surveying,
mapping, and engineering be
discontinued. The intent of this action
is to provide national uniformity of
length measurement in an orderly
fashion with minimum disruption,
correcting a measurement dilemma that
has persisted for over 60 years.
Deprecation of the U.S. survey foot is
associated with ongoing efforts by NGS
to modernize the National Spatial
Reference System (NSRS), originally
planned to occur in 2022. However,
operational, workforce, and other issues
have arisen causing NGS to re-evaluate
the timing of the modernized NSRS
launch. NGS has conducted a
comprehensive analysis of ongoing
projects, programs, and resources
required to complete NSRS
modernization and will continue to
provide regular progress updates that
may be obtained by visiting the ‘‘New
Datums’’ web pages (https://
geodesy.noaa.gov/datums/newdatums/

NGS and the NIST Office of Weights

the U.S. survey foot. Although
deprecation is associated with
modernizing the NSRS, the planned
effective date of December 31, 2022,
provided in the October 17, 2019, notice
remains the same and is independent
from the NSRS modernization
implementation timeline. The difference
in timelines will have no effect on users
of the existing NSRS, and it will ensure
that deprecation of the U.S. survey foot
occurs prior to the rollout of the
modernized NSRS. The planned
publication date of the notice
summarizing public comment findings
has been extended by 90 days from June
30, 2020, to September 28, 2020.

Scope of the Order
The scope of this order covers commodity matchbooks, also known as
commodity book matches, paper matches or booklet matches.\6\ Commodity
matchbooks typically, but do not necessarily, consist of twenty match
stems which are usually made from paperboard or similar material tipped
with a match head composed of any chemical formula. The match stems may
be stitched, stapled or otherwise fastened into a matchbook cover of
any material, on which a striking strip composed of any chemical
formula has been applied to assist in the ignition process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Such commodity matchbooks are also referred to as ``for
resale'' because they always enter into retail channels, meaning
businesses that sell a general variety of tangible merchandise,
e.g., convenience stores, supermarkets, dollar stores, drug stores
and mass merchandisers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commodity matchbooks included in the scope of this order may or may
not contain printing. For example, they may have no printing other than
the identification of the manufacturer or importer. Commodity
matchbooks may also be printed with a generic message such as ``Thank
You'' or a generic image such as the American Flag, with store brands
(e.g., Kroger, 7-Eleven, Shurfine or Giant); product brands for
national or regional advertisers such as cigarettes or alcoholic
beverages; or with corporate brands for national or regional
distributors (e.g., Penley Corp. or Diamond Brands). They all enter
retail distribution channels. Regardless of the materials used for the
stems of the matches and regardless of the way the match stems are
fastened to the matchbook cover, all commodity matchbooks are included
in the scope of this investigation. All matchbooks, including commodity
matchbooks, typically comply with the United States Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC) Safety Standard for Matchbooks, codified at 16
CFR 1202.1 through 1202.7.
The scope of this order excludes promotional matchbooks, often
referred to as ``not for resale,'' or ``specialty advertising''
matchbooks, as they do not enter into retail channels and are sold to
businesses that provide hospitality, dining, drinking or entertainment
services to their customers, and are given away by these businesses as
promotional items. Such promotional matchbooks are distinguished by the
physical characteristic of having the name and/or logo of a bar,
restaurant, resort, hotel, club, caf[eacute]/coffee shop, grill, pub,
eatery, lounge, casino, barbecue or individual establishment printed
prominently on the matchbook cover. Promotional matchbook cover
printing also typically includes the address and the phone number of
the business or establishment being promoted.\7\ Also excluded are all
other matches that are not fastened into a matchbook cover such as
wooden matches, stick matches, box matches, kitchen matches, pocket
matches, penny matches, household matches, strike-anywhere matches (aka
``SAW'' matches), strike-on-box matches (aka ``SOB'' matches),
fireplace matches, barbeque/grill matches, fire starters, and wax
matches.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ The gross distinctions between commodity matchbooks and
promotional matchbooks may be summarized as follows: (1) If it has
no printing, or is printed with a generic message such as ``Thank
You'' or a generic image such as the American Flag, or printed with
national or regional store brands or corporate brands, it is
commodity; (2) if it has printing, and the printing includes the
name of a bar, restaurant, resort, hotel, club, caf[eacute]/coffee
shop, grill, pub, eatery, lounge, casino, barbecue, or individual
establishment prominently displayed on the matchbook cover, it is
promotional.
