International Trade Administration March 10, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On December 3, 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (``CAFC'') affirmed the Department of Commerce's (``Department'') final results of redetermination pursuant to the Department's voluntary remand, wherein the Department calculated credit expenses from the date of invoice, rather than the date of shipment for Mittal Steel Point Lisas Ltd. (``Mittal'').\1\ The Court also affirmed the Department's classification of Mittal's composite wire rod as non- prime merchandise. The period of review (``POR'') is October 1, 2003, through September 30, 2004. The Department is amending the final results of the second administrative review of carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod (``wire rod'') from Trinidad and Tobago to reflect the U.S. Court of International Trade's (``CIT'') decision.

On November 3, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty order on malleable cast iron pipe fittings from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). On the basis of a notice of intent to participate, and an adequate substantive response from domestic interested parties, as well as a lack of response from respondent interested parties, the Department conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review. As a result of the sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. The dumping margins are identified in the Final Results of Review section of this notice.
