Appendix—Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation consists of gas-powered, walkbehind snow throwers (also known as snow
blowers), which are snow moving machines
that are powered by internal combustion
engines and primarily pedestrian-controlled.
The scope of the investigation covers certain
snow throwers (also known as snow
blowers), whether self-propelled or non-selfpropelled, whether finished or unfinished,
whether assembled or unassembled, and
whether containing any additional features
that provide for functions in addition to
snow throwing. Subject merchandise also
includes finished and unfinished snow
throwers that are further processed in a third
country or in the United States, including,
but not limited to, assembly or any other
processing that would not otherwise remove
the merchandise from the scope of this
48 See
section 782(b) of the Act.

investigation if performed in the country of
manufacture of the in-scope snow throwers.
Walk-behind snow throwers subject to the
scope of this investigation are powered by
internal combustion engines which are
typically spark ignition, single or multiple
cylinder, and air-cooled with power take off
shafts.
For the purposes of this investigation, an
unfinished and/or unassembled snow
thrower means at a minimum, a subassembly comprised of an engine, auger
housing (i.e., intake frame), and an auger (or
‘‘auger paddle’’) packaged or imported
together. An intake frame is the portion of the
snow thrower—typically of aluminum or
steel—that houses and protects an operator
from a rotating auger and is the intake point
for the snow. Importation of the subassembly
whether or not accompanied by, or attached
to, additional components including, but not
limited to, handle(s), impeller(s), chute(s),
track tread(s), or wheel(s) constitutes an
unfinished snow thrower for purposes of this
investigation. The inclusion in a third
country of any components other than the
snow thrower sub-assembly does not remove
the snow thrower from the scope. A snow
thrower is within the scope of this
investigation regardless of the origin of its
engine.
Specifically excluded is merchandise
covered by the scope of the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders on certain vertical
shaft engines between 225cc and 999cc, and
parts thereof from the People’s Republic of
China. See Certain Vertical Shaft Engines
Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof,

Republic of China: Countervailing Duty
Order and Amended Final Affirmative
Countervailing Duty Determination, 86 FR
12619 (March 4, 2021).
The snow throwers subject to this
investigation are typically entered under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) subheading 8430.20.0060.
Certain parts of snow throwers subject to this
investigation may also enter under HTSUS
8431.49.9095. The HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes only, and the written description of
the merchandise under investigation is
dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d)
and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.210(c), on March 5, 2021,
Commerce published its affirmative
final determination in the less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation of seamless
pipe from the Czech Republic.1 On
April 19, 2021, the ITC notified
Commerce of its final affirmative
determination that an industry in the
United States is materially injured
within the meaning of section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of
the LTFV imports of seamless pipe from
the Czech Republic.2
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are seamless pipe and redraw hollows
from the Czech Republic, less than or
equal to 16 inches in nominal outside
diameter, regardless of wall-thickness,
manufacturing process, end finish, or
surface finish. For a complete
description of the scope of the order, see
the appendix to this notice.

Antidumping Duty Order
On April 19, 2021, in accordance with
sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the
Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its
final determination that an industry in
the United States is materially injured
by reason of imports of seamless pipe
from the Czech Republic.3 Therefore,
Commerce is issuing this antidumping
duty order in accordance with sections
735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act. Because
the ITC determined that imports of
seamless pipe from the Czech Republic
are materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from the Czech Republic,
which are entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, are subject
to the assessment of antidumping
duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce, antidumping
duties equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed
export price) of the merchandise, for all
relevant entries of seamless pipe from
the Czech Republic. Antidumping
duties will be assessed on unliquidated
entries of seamless pipe from the Czech
Republic entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
December 21, 2020, the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determination.4
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the
Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to
continue to suspend liquidation on all
relevant entries of seamless pipe from
the Czech Republic which are entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication of the ITC’s notice of final
determination in the Federal Register.
These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.
We will also instruct CBP to require
cash deposits for estimated antidumping
duties equal to the amounts as indicated
below. Accordingly, effective on the
date of publication in the Federal
Register of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determination, CBP will require,
at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on

Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
suspension of liquidation pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months, except that Commerce may
extend the four-month period to no
more than six months at the request of
exporters representing a significant
proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise. Commerce’s Preliminary
Determination was published on
December 21, 2020.6 Commerce’s Final
Determination was not extended and
was published on March 5, 2021.7 As
such, the four-month period beginning
on the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination ended on
April 19, 2021.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act, Commerce will
instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation, and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of seamless pipe from the Czech
Republic entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption after April
19, 2021, the date on which the
provisional measures expired, through
the day preceding the date of
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determination in the Federal
Register. Suspension of liquidation will
resume on the date of publication of the
ITC’s final affirmative injury
determination in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Convention and the Commission
The objective of the Convention is to
ensure, through effective management,
the long-term conservation and
sustainable use of highly migratory fish
stocks in the western and central Pacific
Ocean in accordance with the United
Nations Convention on the Law of the
Sea of 10 December 1982 (UNCLOS) and
the Agreement for the Implementation
of the Provisions of the UNCLOS
Relating to the Conservation and
Management of Straddling Fish Stocks
and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks. The
Convention establishes the Commission,
the Secretariat of which is based in
Pohnpei, Federated States of
Micronesia.
The Convention applies to all highly
migratory fish stocks (defined as all fish
stocks of the species listed in Annex I
of the UNCLOS occurring in the
Convention Area, and such other
species of fish as the Commission may
determine), except sauries.
The United States actively supported
the negotiations and the development of
the Convention and signed the
Convention when it was opened for
signature in 2000. It participated as a
cooperating non-member of the
Commission since it became operational
in 2005. The United States became a
Contracting Party to the Convention and
a full member of the Commission when
it ratified the Convention in January
2007. Under the Act, the United States
is to be represented on the Commission
by five U.S. Commissioners, appointed
by the President.
Permanent Advisory Committee
The Act (16 U.S.C. 6902) provides (in
section 6902(d)) that the Secretary of
Commerce, in consultation with the
U.S. Commissioners to the Commission,
will appoint individuals as members of
the advisory committee established
under the Act, referred to here as the
‘‘Permanent Advisory Committee’’.
On January 4, 2021, NMFS published
a notice in the Federal Register (86 FR
73) seeking nominations for the
advisory committee established under
the Act. Nominations had to be received
by February 18, 2021. Although NMFS
has received a number of nominations,
NMFS on behalf of the Secretary of
Commerce is reopening the nomination
process in order to ensure an equitable
balance among representatives of the
PO 00000

fisheries covered by the Convention, as
specified in the Act.
The appointed members of the
Permanent Advisory Committee are to
include not less than 15 nor more than
20 individuals selected from the various
groups concerned with the fisheries
covered by the Convention, providing,
to the extent practicable, an equitable
balance among such groups. In addition
to the 15–20 appointed members, the
Permanent Advisory Committee
includes the chair of the Western Pacific
Fishery Management Council’s
Advisory Committee (or designee), and
officials of the fisheries management
authorities of American Samoa, Guam,
and the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands (or their designees).
Members of the Permanent Advisory
Committee will be invited to attend all
non-executive meetings of the U.S.
Commissioners to the Commission and
at such meetings will be given
opportunity to examine and be heard on
all proposed programs of investigation,
reports, recommendations, and

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the International Trade Commission (ITC),
Commerce is issuing an antidumping duty order on seamless carbon and
alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe (seamless pipe) from the
Czech Republic.
DATES: Applicable April 26, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(c), on March 5, 2021,
Commerce published its affirmative final determination in the less-
than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of seamless pipe from the Czech
Republic.\1\ On April 19, 2021, the ITC notified Commerce of its final
affirmative determination that an industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the
Act, by reason of the LTFV imports of seamless pipe from the Czech
Republic.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and

\2\ See ITC's Letter, ``Notification of ITC Final
Determination,'' dated April 19, 2021 (ITC Notification Letter).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order are seamless pipe and redraw
hollows from the Czech Republic, less than or equal to 16 inches in
nominal outside diameter, regardless of wall-thickness, manufacturing
process, end finish, or surface finish. For a complete description of
the scope of the order, see the appendix to this notice.
[[Page 22032]]
Antidumping Duty Order
On April 19, 2021, in accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and
735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination
that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason
of imports of seamless pipe from the Czech Republic.\3\ Therefore,
Commerce is issuing this antidumping duty order in accordance with
sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act. Because the ITC determined that
imports of seamless pipe from the Czech Republic are materially
injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from
the Czech Republic, which are entered or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See ITC Notification Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act,
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal
to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the
export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all
relevant entries of seamless pipe from the Czech Republic. Antidumping
duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of seamless pipe from
the Czech Republic entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after December 21, 2020, the date of publication of
the Preliminary Determination.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and
Pressure Pipe from the Czech Republic: Preliminary Affirmative
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 85 FR 83059
(December 21, 2020) (Preliminary Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce will instruct
CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of
seamless pipe from the Czech Republic which are entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of
the ITC's notice of final determination in the Federal Register. These
instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further
notice.
We will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits for estimated
antidumping duties equal to the amounts as indicated below.
Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal
Register of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination, CBP will
require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated
duties on this subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the cash
deposit rates listed below.\5\ The all-others rate applies to all
producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate.

Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months, except that Commerce may extend the
four-month period to no more than six months at the request of
exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the
subject merchandise. Commerce's Preliminary Determination was published
on December 21, 2020.\6\ Commerce's Final Determination was not
extended and was published on March 5, 2021.\7\ As such, the four-month
period beginning on the date of publication of the Preliminary
Determination ended on April 19, 2021.

Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce
will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation, and to
liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries
of seamless pipe from the Czech Republic entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption after April 19, 2021, the date on which the
provisional measures expired, through the day preceding the date of
publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the
Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on the date of
publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the
Federal Register.
