Scope of the Order
The product covered by the Order is
welded pipe from Korea. For a full
description of the scope, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a) of the
Act. For a full description of the
methodology underlying these
preliminary results, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. A list of topics
included in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is included as Appendix
I to this notice.
Rate for Non-Examined Companies
The statute and Commerce’s
regulations do not address the
establishment of a weighted-average
dumping margin to be determined for
companies not selected for individual
examination when Commerce limits its
examination in an administrative review
pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the
Act. Generally, Commerce looks to
section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the
all-others rate in an investigation, for
guidance when determining the
weighted-average dumping margin for
companies which were not selected for
individual examination in an
administrative review. Under section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others
rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the
weighted average of the estimated
weighted average dumping margins
established for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any
zero and de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available}.’’
In this review, the preliminary
weighted-average dumping margin for
HiSteel is not zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts otherwise available,
whereas Hyundai Steel’s preliminary
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero. Therefore, Commerce has
preliminarily assigned a weightedaverage dumping margin to the nonexamined companies that is equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin for
HiSteel in accordance with its
practice.11
