SUMMARY: On November 7, 2024, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) issued its final judgment in Garg Tube Export LLP and Garg Tube Limited v. United States, Court No. 21–00169, sustaining the U.S. Department of Commerce’s (Commerce) first and second remand results pertaining to the administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on welded carbon steel standard pipes and tubes (pipe and tube) from India covering the period May 1, 2018, through April 30, 2019. Commerce is notifying the public that the CIT’s final judgment is not in harmony with Commerce’s final results of the administrative review and that Commerce is amending the final results with respect to the dumping margin assigned to Garg Tube Limited and Garg Tube Export LLP (collectively, Garg Tube). AGENCY: DATES: Applicable November 17, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dmitry Vladimirov, AD/CVD Operations, Office I, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–0665. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On March 19, 2021, Commerce published its Final Results in the 2018– 2019 AD administrative review of pipe and tube from India.1 Commerce 1 See Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipes and Tubes from India: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2018–2019, 86 FR 14872 (March 19, 2021) (Final Results), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 92091 calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of 13.90 percent for Garg Tube.2 Garg Tube appealed Commerce’s Final Results. On February 3, 2023, the CIT granted Commerce’s request for a voluntary remand to recalculate Garg Tube’s weighted-average dumping margin established in the Final Results without making a cost-based particular market situation (PMS) adjustment.3 In its final results of the first remand redetermination, issued in March 2023, Commerce reversed a PMS adjustment made to the cost of production (COP) in the Final Results and recalculated Garg Tube’s weighted-average dumping margin accordingly.4 On April 8, 2024, the CIT remanded the Final Results to Commerce, holding that it was not reasonably discernable from Commerce’s analysis which statutory provision under section 776 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), it was relying upon in applying partial adverse facts available (AFA) with respect to COP for pipe and tube sourced from an unaffiliated supplier.5 The CIT further held that to the extent that Commerce relied on section 776(a) of the Act, Commerce must further support its determination by addressing the Mueller 6 factors, and to the extent Commerce relied on section 776(b) of the Act, Commerce must explain why Garg Tube did not act to the best of its ability and do all that it could to cooperate.7 In its final results of the second remand redetermination, issued in July 2024, Commerce clarified its methodology and, under respectful protest, modified the margin calculations for Garg Tube by relying on facts available, with no adverse inference, to fill the gap in the record on the unaffiliated supplier’s missing COP information caused by its noncooperation.8 The CIT sustained 2 Id. at 14873.
