Background
On September 8, 2022, Commerce
published the preliminary results of this
administrative review in the Federal
Register.1 Although we invited
interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results,2 we received no
comments. Accordingly, no decision
memorandum accompanies this Federal
Register notice, and no changes have
been made in the final results of this
review. The Preliminary Results and the
PDM have been adopted as the final
results.

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to
interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the final
results of review within five days of a
public announcement or, if there is no
public announcement, within five days
of the date of publication of the notice
of final results in the Federal Register,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
However, because we have made no
changes from the Preliminary Results,
there are no calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act) and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), upon
completion of the administrative
review, Commerce shall determine, and

U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties
on all appropriate entries covered by
this review. Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the 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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act, Commerce also intends to instruct
CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties in the
amounts shown above for the abovelisted companies for shipments of
subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication of these final results of this
administrative review. For all nonreviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to
continue to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties at the
most recent company-specific or allothers rate applicable to the company,
as appropriate. These cash deposit
requirements, effective upon
publication of these final results, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
final results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

Appendix I
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order covers finished
carbon steel flanges. Finished carbon steel
flanges differ from unfinished carbon steel
flanges (also known as carbon steel flange
E:\FR\FM\15DEN1.SGM

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1

forgings) in that they have undergone further
processing after forging, including, but not
limited to, beveling, bore threading, center or
step boring, face machining, taper boring,
machining ends or surfaces, drilling bolt
holes, and/or de-burring or shot blasting. Any
one of these post-forging processes suffices to
render the forging into a finished carbon steel
flange for purposes of this order. However,
mere heat treatment of a carbon steel flange
forging (without any other further processing
after forging) does not render the forging into
a finished carbon steel flange for purposes of
this order.
While these finished carbon steel flanges
are generally manufactured to specification
ASME B16.5 or ASME B16.47 series A or
series B, the scope is not limited to flanges
produced under those specifications. All
types of finished carbon steel flanges are
included in the scope regardless of pipe size
(which may or may not be expressed in
inches of nominal pipe size), pressure class
(usually, but not necessarily, expressed in
pounds of pressure, e.g., 150, 300, 400, 600,
900, 1500, 2500, etc.), type of face (e.g., flat
face, full face, raised face, etc.), configuration
(e.g., weld neck, slip on, socket weld, lap
joint, threaded, etc.), wall thickness (usually,
but not necessarily, expressed in inches),
normalization, or whether or not heat treated.
These carbon steel flanges either meet or
exceed the requirements of the ASTM A105,
ASTM A694, ASTM A181, ASTM A350 and
ASTM A707 standards (or comparable
foreign specifications). The scope includes
any flanges produced to the above-referenced
ASTM standards as currently stated or as
may be amended. The term ‘‘carbon steel’’
under this scope is steel in which:
(a) Iron predominates, by weight, over each
of the other contained elements:
(b) The carbon content is 2 percent or less,
by weight; and
(c) none of the elements listed below
exceeds the quantity, by weight, as indicated:
(i) 0.87 percent of aluminum;
(ii) 0.0105 percent of boron;
(iii) 10.10 percent of chromium;
(iv) 1.55 percent of columbium;
(v) 3.10 percent of copper;
(vi) 0.38 percent of lead;
(vii) 3.04 percent of manganese;
(viii) 2.05 percent of molybdenum;
(ix) 20.15 percent of nickel;
(x) 1.55 percent of niobium;
(xi) 0.20 percent of nitrogen;
(xii) 0.21 percent of phosphorus;
(xiii) 3.10 percent of silicon;
(xiv) 0.21 percent of sulfur;
(xv) 1.05 percent of titanium;
(xvi) 4.06 percent of tungsten;
(xvii) 0.53 percent of vanadium; or
(xviii) 0.015 percent of zirconium.
Finished carbon steel flanges are currently
classified under subheadings 7307.91.5010
and 7307.91.5050 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). They
may also be entered under HTSUS
subheadings 7307.91.5030 and 7307.91.5070.
The HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes; the
written description of the scope is
dispositive.
