Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes From Taiwan: Notice
of Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On June 30, 2010, the U.S. Department of Commerce (the
Department) published a notice of initiation of an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from Taiwan. The review covers two firms: Yieh Phui
Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Yieh Phui) and Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd.
(Yieh Hsing). Based on a withdrawal of the request for review from
United States Steel Corporation (Petitioner), we are now rescinding
this administrative review with respect to Yieh Hsing.
DATES: Effective Date: November 18, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Bezirganian or Robert James, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
1131 or (202) 482-0649, respectively.
Background
On June 30, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Taiwan
covering the period May 1, 2009, through April 30, 2010. See Initiation
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Requests for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 37759, 37762 (June 30, 2010).
On July 1, 2010, the Department issued questionnaires to both of
the respondents, Yieh Hsing and Yieh Phui. Yieh Hsing did not respond
to the Department's questionnaire.
On October 26, 2010, the Petitioner withdrew its request for an
administrative review for Yieh Hsing. The Petitioner was the only
interested party to request a review of Yieh Hsing.
Partial Rescission
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations provides that
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of
the of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review,
or withdraws at a later date if the Department determines it is
reasonable to extend the time limit for withdrawing the request.
Therefore, although the Petitioner withdrew its request with regard to
Yieh Hsing after the 90-day deadline, the Department has the discretion
to extend this time limit. Consistent with the Department's practice,
we find it reasonable to extend the withdrawal deadline, and to rescind
the review with respect to Yieh Hsing, because the Department has not
devoted significant time or resources to review Yieh Hsing, and the
Petitioner was the only party to request a review. See, e.g., Welded
Large Diameter Line Pipe From Japan: Notice of Rescission of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 38989, 38990 (July 7,
2010); see also Persulfates from the People's Republic of China: Notice
of Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 13810,
13811 (March 17, 2006). The Department will continue this
administrative review with respect to Yieh Phui.
Assessment Instructions
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the
company for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall be
assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15
days after publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this
review is being rescinded 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 review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of the
antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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 which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with section
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).
Dated: November 12, 2010.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
