Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 160 / Monday, August 23, 2021 / Notices
Commerce will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review.
For BlueScope, we calculated
importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for each
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).6
Where an importer-specific assessment
rate is zero or de minimis, the entries by
that importer will be liquidated without
regard to antidumping duties. For
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by BlueScope for
which it did not know the merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.7
For any suspended entries of hotrolled steel from AJU Steel USA Inc., we
will instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties at the rate equal to the cash
deposit rate of estimated antidumping
duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse for
consumption.
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of these final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).

the review; (2) for merchandise exported
by producers or exporters not covered in
this review but covered in a prior
segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published in the
completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review,
or the original investigation but the
producer has been covered in a prior
completed segment of this proceeding,
then the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established in the completed
segment for the most recent period for
the producer of the merchandise; (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers
or exporters will continue to be 29.58
percent, the all-others rate established
in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.8 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 Commerce’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
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 APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 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

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 160 / Monday, August 23, 2021 / Notices
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 July 2, 2021, Commerce
published in the Federal Register its
affirmative final determinations in the
less-than-fair-value investigations of
seamless pipe from Korea, Russia, and
Ukraine.1 On August 16, 2021, the ITC
notified Commerce of its affirmative
final determinations 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 less-than-fair-value imports of
seamless pipe from Korea, Russia, and
Ukraine.2
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these
orders is seamless pipe from Korea,
Russia, and Ukraine. For a complete
description of the scope of these orders,
see the appendix to this notice.
Antidumping Duty Orders
Given Commerce’s affirmative final
determinations, as noted above, and
notification from the ITC, in accordance
with section 735(d) of the Act, of its
final determinations in these
investigations, in which it found 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 imports of seamless pipe from
Korea, Russia, and Ukraine,3 Commerce
is issuing antidumping duty orders on
seamless pipe from Korea, Russia, and
Ukraine. Because the ITC determined
that imports of seamless pipe from
Korea, Russia, and Ukraine are
materially injuring a U.S. industry,

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
instructions by Commerce, antidumping
duties equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the foreign like product
exceeds the export price (or constructed
export price) of subject merchandise, for
all relevant entries of seamless pipe
from Korea, Russia, and Ukraine. With
the exception of entries occurring after
the expiration of the provisional
measures period and before publication
of the ITC’s final affirmative injury
determinations in the Federal Register,
as further described below, antidumping
duties will be assessed on unliquidated
entries of seamless pipe from Korea,
Russia, and Ukraine entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption, on or after February 10,
2021, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determinations.4
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the
Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP
to continue to suspend liquidation of all
relevant entries of seamless pipe from
Korea, Russia, and Ukraine. These
instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice.
Commerce also intends to instruct CBP
to require cash deposits equal to the
estimated weighted-average dumping
margins indicated in the tables below.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
the notice of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determinations, CBP will require,
at the same time that importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on
the merchandise, a cash deposit equal to

the rates listed below. The relevant allothers rates apply to all producers or
exporters not specifically listed.
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
the instructions issued under section
733(d)(1) and (2) of the Act 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. At the request of
exporters that account for a significant
proportion of seamless pipe from Korea,
Russia, and Ukraine, Commerce
extended the four-month period in each
of these investigations. Commerce
published the Preliminary
Determinations in these investigations
in the Federal Register on February 10,
2021.5
The extended provisional measures
period, beginning on the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determinations, ended on August 8,
2021. Therefore, in accordance with
section 733(d) of the Act and its
practice,6 Commerce will instruct CBP
to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without
regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of seamless pipe
from Korea, Russia, and Ukraine
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption after August 8, 2021,
the final day on which the provisional
measures were in effect, until and
through the day preceding the date of
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determinations in the Federal
Register. Suspension of liquidation and
the collection of cash deposits will
resume on the date of publication of the
ITC’s final determinations in the
Federal Register.

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 July 2, 2021,
Commerce published in the Federal Register its affirmative final
determinations in the less-than-fair-value investigations of seamless
pipe from Korea, Russia, and Ukraine.\1\ On August 16, 2021, the ITC
notified Commerce of its affirmative final determinations 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 less-than-fair-
value imports of seamless pipe from Korea, Russia, and Ukraine.\2\

Nos. 701-TA-654-655 and 731-TA-1530-1532 (Final) (August 16, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these orders is seamless pipe from
Korea, Russia, and Ukraine. For a complete description of the scope of
these orders, see the appendix to this notice.
Antidumping Duty Orders
Given Commerce's affirmative final determinations, as noted above,
and notification from the ITC, in accordance with section 735(d) of the
Act, of its final determinations in these investigations, in which it
found 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
imports of seamless pipe from Korea, Russia, and Ukraine,\3\ Commerce
is issuing antidumping duty orders on seamless pipe from Korea, Russia,
and Ukraine. Because the ITC determined that imports of seamless pipe
from Korea, Russia, and Ukraine are materially injuring a U.S.
industry, unliquidated entries of subject merchandise from Korea,
Russia, and Ukraine, that was entered into the United States, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption are subject to the assessment
of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 instructions by Commerce, antidumping duties equal
to the amount by which the normal value of the foreign like product
exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of subject
merchandise, for all relevant entries of seamless pipe from Korea,
Russia, and Ukraine. With the exception of entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of
the ITC's final affirmative injury determinations in the Federal
Register, as further described below, antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of seamless pipe from Korea, Russia,
and Ukraine entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on
or after February 10, 2021, the date of publication of the Preliminary
Determinations.\4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce intends to
instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all relevant entries
of seamless pipe from Korea, Russia, and Ukraine. These instructions
suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.
Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in the tables
below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal
Register of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative injury
determinations, CBP will require, at the same time that importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on the merchandise, a cash deposit
equal to the rates listed below. The relevant all-others rates apply to
all producers or exporters not specifically listed.
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that the instructions issued under
section 733(d)(1) and (2) of the Act 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. At the

The merchandise covered by the scope of the orders is seamless
carbon and alloy steel (other than stainless steel) pipes and redraw
hollows, less than or equal to 16 inches (406.4 mm) in nominal
outside diameter, regardless of wall-thickness, manufacturing
process (e.g., hot finished or cold-drawn), end finish (e.g., plain
end, beveled end, upset end, threaded, or threaded and coupled), or
surface finish (e.g., bare, lacquered or coated). Redraw hollows are
any unfinished carbon or alloy steel (other than stainless steel)
pipe or ``hollow profiles'' suitable for cold finishing operations,
such as cold drawing, to meet the American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) or American Petroleum Institute (API)
specifications referenced below, or comparable specifications.
Specifically included within the scope are seamless carbon and alloy
steel (other than stainless steel) standard, line, and pressure
pipes produced to the ASTM A-53, ASTM A-106, ASTM A-333, ASTM A-334,
ASTM A-589, ASTM A-795, ASTM A-1024, and the API 51 specifications,
or comparable specifications, and meeting the physical parameters
described above, regardless of application, with the exception of
the exclusions discussed below.
Specifically excluded from the scope of the orders are: (1) All
pipes meeting aerospace, hydraulic, and bearing tubing
specifications, including pipe produced to the ASTM A-822 standard;
(2) all pipes meeting the chemical requirements of ASTM A-335,
whether finished or unfinished; and (3) unattached couplings. Also
excluded from the scope of the orders are (1) all mechanical,
boiler, condenser and heat exchange tubing, except when such
products conform to the dimensional requirements, i.e., outside
diameter and wall thickness, of ASTM A53, ASTM A-106 or API 51
specifications. Also excluded from the scope of the orders are: (1)
Oil country tubular goods consisting of drill pipe, casing, tubing
and coupling stock; (2) all pipes meeting the chemical requirements
of ASTM A-335 regardless of their conformity to the dimensional
