From China
Requestor: D&F Consolidated, Inc.,

China
Requestor: Simpson Strong-Tie
Company (Simpson). Simpson’s splitdrive masonry anchors are outside the

masonry anchors are not nails because
the anchors require pre-drilled holes for
installation. This is a revision, based on
litigation, to our previous scope ruling.

Final Determination of No Shipments
We preliminarily found that Blue Pipe
Steel Center (Blue Pipe) and K Line
Logistics (Thailand) Ltd. (K-Line) each
had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR.4 Based on
the comments received, we continue to
find that Blue Pipe had no shipments.5
Moreover, no party commented on the
Preliminary Results regarding the noshipments decision with respect to KLine. Therefore, for these final results,
we continue to find that each of these
companies had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR and will
issue appropriate instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
based on these final results.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, and for the reasons explained in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum,
we made revisions to our calculations in
the Preliminary Results of the weightedaverage dumping margin for the
mandatory respondent, Saha Thai Steel
Pipe Public Co., Ltd., also known as
Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Co., Ltd.
(collectively, Saha Thai), and the
weighted-average dumping margin
assigned to the non-examined
companies.
Rate for Non-Examined Companies
In the Preliminary Results, we
determined the weighted-average
dumping margin for Saha Thai that is
not zero, de minimis or based entirely
on facts available. For the other
mandatory respondent, Blue Pipe, we
determined that Blue Pipe had no
shipments during the POR and
accordingly we did not determine a
weighted-average dumping margin for
Blue Pipe for these final results.
Following the guidelines for calculating
the ‘‘all-others’’ rate in a less-than-fairvalue investigation, we accordingly
determined that the weighted-average
dumping margin for each of the
companies not selected for individual
examination to be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
calculated for Saha Thai.
Final Results of Administrative Review
Commerce determines that the

Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the
calculations performed for these final
results within five days of the date of
publication of this notice, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
shall determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review. Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the 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).
For Saha Thai, we calculated
importer-specific antidumping duty
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
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). If an importer-specific
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
69621
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
then we will instruct CBP to liquidate
the entries for that importer without
regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Saha Thai
for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, and for Blue Pipe and KLine, the two companies which we find
had no shipments during the POR, 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.
The assessment rate for antidumping
duties for each of the companies not
selected for individual examination,
will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin listed above in the
final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of these
reviews for shipments of the subject
merchandise from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C)
of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for
the companies listed above in the final
results of review will be equal to the
company-specific weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final
results of this review; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not
listed above in the ‘‘Final Results of
Administrative Review,’’ above,
including companies for which
Commerce may determine to have had
no shipments during the POR, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review or another
completed segment of this proceeding,
but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
for the most recently completed segment
of this proceeding for the producer of
the merchandise; and (4) if neither the
exporter nor the producer is a firm
covered in this or any previously
completed segment of this proceeding,
then the cash deposit rate will be the
all-others rate of 15.67 percent
established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.6
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
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. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act of 1972, as amended
(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and the
regulations governing the taking of
marine mammals (50 CFR part 216).
The applicant proposes to film
humpback whales off the coast of Maui,
Hawaii to obtain footage for a television
series. Up to 1,120 humpback whales
may be harassed during filming from
vessels, an unmanned aircraft system,
and underwater divers. The permit
would expire April 30, 2022.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
It has come to the agency’s attention
that the 2016 interim final humpback
approach rule (50 CFR 216.19; 81 FR
62010, September 8, 2016) does not
explicitly exempt permits issued under
section 104(c)(6) of the MMPA from its
prohibitions. It is not the agency’s intent
to preclude the issuance of permits or
authorizations consistent with the
requirements of the MMPA. We
interpret the rule to allow issuance of
these permits. Consistent with this
interpretation, it has been our practice
to continue to issue section 104(c)(6)
permits that are in compliance with the
Act’s requirements and our review
procedures, as evidenced by issuance of
four such permits since the rule’s
effective date. However, to eliminate
any potential ambiguity, we intend to
revise the rule to explicitly clarify that
photography permits issued under
section 104(c)(6) of the MMPA are
exempt from the prohibitions on
approach.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of the
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.

Background
On June 8, 2021, Commerce published the preliminary results of the
2019-2020 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Thailand.\1\ The

Final Determination of No Shipments
We preliminarily found that Blue Pipe Steel Center (Blue Pipe) and
K Line Logistics (Thailand) Ltd. (K-Line) each had no shipments of
subject merchandise during the POR.\4\ Based on the comments received,
we continue to find that Blue Pipe had no shipments.\5\ Moreover, no
party commented on the Preliminary Results regarding the no-shipments
decision with respect to K-Line. Therefore, for these final results, we
continue to find that each of these companies had no shipments of
subject merchandise during the POR and will issue appropriate
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) based on these
final results.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, and for the
reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we made
revisions to our calculations in the Preliminary Results of the
weighted-average dumping margin for the mandatory respondent, Saha Thai
Steel Pipe Public Co., Ltd., also known as Saha Thai Steel Pipe
(Public) Co., Ltd. (collectively, Saha Thai), and the weighted-average
dumping margin assigned to the non-examined companies.
Rate for Non-Examined Companies
In the Preliminary Results, we determined the weighted-average
dumping margin for Saha Thai that is not zero, de minimis or based
entirely on facts available. For the other mandatory respondent, Blue
Pipe, we determined that Blue Pipe had no shipments during the POR and
accordingly we did not determine a weighted-average dumping margin for
Blue Pipe for these final results. Following the guidelines for
calculating the ``all-others'' rate in a less-than-fair-value
investigation, we accordingly determined that the weighted-average
dumping margin for each of the companies not selected for individual
examination to be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
calculated for Saha Thai.
Final Results of Administrative Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period March 1, 2019, through February 29, 2020:

Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these
final results within five days of the date of publication of this
notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the 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).
For Saha Thai, we calculated importer-specific antidumping duty
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 sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
If an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, then we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the entries for that importer without
regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Saha
Thai for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the
United States, and for Blue Pipe and K-Line, the two companies which we
find had no shipments during the POR, 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.
The assessment rate for antidumping duties for each of the
companies not selected for individual examination, will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin listed above in the final results of
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of these reviews for shipments of the
subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the
companies listed above in the final results of review will be equal to
the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of this review; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above in the ``Final Results of
Administrative Review,'' above, including companies for which Commerce
may determine to have had no shipments during the POR, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review or another completed segment of
this proceeding, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will
be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) if neither the
exporter nor the producer is a firm covered in this or any previously
completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will
be the all-others rate of 15.67 percent established in the less-than-
fair-value investigation.\6\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of
doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
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. 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
Commerce is issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: December 2, 2021.
