[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 197 (Tuesday, October 13, 2015)] [Notices] [Pages 61362-61365] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-25990] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-489-822] Welded Line Pipe From the Republic of Turkey: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) determines that welded line pipe from the Republic of Turkey (Turkey) is being, or is likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV), as provided in section 735(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The period of investigation (POI) is October 1, 2013, [[Page 61363]] through September 30, 2014. The final dumping margins of sales at LTFV are listed below in the ``Final Determination'' section of this notice. DATES: Effective Date: October 13, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alice Maldonado or David Crespo, AD/ CVD Operations, Office II, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482- 4682 or (202) 482-3693, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On May 22, 2015, the Department published the Preliminary Determination of sales at LTFV of welded line pipe from Turkey.\1\ The following events occurred since the Preliminary Determination was issued. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Welded Line Pipe from the Republic of Turkey: Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination, 80 FR 29617 (May 22, 2015) (Preliminary Determination). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In May and June 2015, the Department verified the sales and cost of production (COP) information submitted by the two participating mandatory respondents in this investigation, [Ccedil]ayirova Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S./Y[uuml]cel Boru Ithalat-Ihracat ve Pazarlama A.S. (collectively, [Ccedil]ayirova) and Tos[ccedil]elik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S./Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S. (collectively, Tos[ccedil]elik), in accordance with section 782(i) of the Act. On July 27, 2015, we requested that Tos[ccedil]elik submit a revised COP database to reflect minor corrections made at verification. On August 7, 2015, we received Tos[ccedil]elik's revised COP database. We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Determination. On August 6 and August 11, 2015, respectively, the petitioners,\2\ [Ccedil]ayirova, and Tos[ccedil]elik submitted case and rebuttal briefs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ The petitioners in this investigation are American Cast Iron Pipe Company, Energex (a division of JMC Steel Group), Maverick Tube Corporation, Northwest Pipe Company, Stupp Corporation (a division of Stupp Bros., Inc.), Tex-Tube Company, TMK IPSCO, and Welspun Tubular LLC USA. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the Investigation The scope of the investigation covers welded line pipe, which is carbon and alloy steel pipe of a kind used for oil and gas pipelines, not more than 24 inches in nominal outside diameter. For a complete description of the scope of the investigation, see Appendix I. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice.\3\ A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice as Appendix II. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and it is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room B-8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed and electronic versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in content. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \3\ See Memorandum to Paul Piquado, ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Affirmative Determination in the Less-Than- Fair-Value Investigation of Welded Line Pipe from the Republic of Turkey'' (October 5, 2015) (Issues and Decision Memorandum). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verification As provided in section 782(i) of the Act, in May and June 2015, we verified the sales and cost information submitted by [Ccedil]ayirova and Tos[ccedil]elik for use in our final determination. We used standard verification procedures, including an examination of relevant accounting and production records, and original source documents provided by [Ccedil]ayirova and Tos[ccedil]elik.\4\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ See Memorandum to the File from Alice Maldonado and David Crespo, Senior Analysts, entitled ``Verification of the Sales Responses of Tos[ccedil]elik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S. (Tos[ccedil]elik Profil) and Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S. (Tosyali) (collectively, Tos[ccedil]elik) in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Welded Line Pipe from Turkey,'' dated July 16, 2015; Memorandum to the File from Alice Maldonado and David Crespo, Senior Analysts, entitled ``Verification of the Sales Response of [Ccedil]ayirova Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.[Scedil]. ([Ccedil]ayirova Boru) and Y[uuml]cel Boru Ithatlat-Ihracat ve Pazarlama A.[Scedil]. (YIIP) (collectively, [Ccedil]ayirova) in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Welded Line Pipe from Turkey,'' dated July 22, 2015; Memorandum to the File from Robert Greger, Senior Accountant, entitled ``Verification of the Cost Response of [Ccedil]ayirova Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.[Scedil]. in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Welded Line Pipe from Turkey,'' dated June 30, 2015; and Memorandum to the File from Heidi Schriefer and Robert Greger, Senior Accountants, entitled ``Verification of the Cost Response of Tos[ccedil]elik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S. in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Welded Line Pipe from Turkey,'' dated June 18, 2015. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our analysis of the comments received and our findings at verification, we made certain changes to the margin calculations for [Ccedil]ayirova and Tos[ccedil]elik. For a discussion of these changes, see the ``Margin Calculations'' section of the Issues and Decision Memorandum. In addition, we changed the dumping margin assigned to two additional mandatory respondents in this investigation, Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Borusan Mannesmann) and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret (Borusan Istikbal). Because these companies failed to respond to the Department's questionnaire, in the Preliminary Determination, we based the preliminary dumping margin for these companies on adverse facts available (AFA), in accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308. As AFA, we preliminarily assigned a rate of 9.85 percent (i.e., the petition rate). For the final determination, we assigned these companies an AFA margin of 22.95 percent, which is the highest calculated final dumping margin. For further discussion, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 20. All-Others Rate Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated all- others rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted-average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated excluding any zero or de minimis margins, and margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. For the Final Determination, the Department calculated the ``all others'' rate based on a weighted average of [Ccedil]ayirova's and Tos[ccedil]elik's margins using publicly-ranged quantities for their sales of subject merchandise.\5\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ See Memorandum to the File from David Crespo, Senior Analyst, entitled, ``Welded Line Pipe from the Republic of Turkey: Calculation of the Final Margin for All Other Companies,'' dated concurrently with this memorandum (All Others Calculation Memorandum). With two respondents, we normally calculate (A) a weighted-average of the dumping margins calculated for the mandatory respondents; (B) a simple average of the dumping margins calculated for the mandatory respondents; and (C) a weighted-average of the dumping margins calculated for the mandatory respondents using each company's publicly-ranged values for the merchandise under consideration. We compare (B) and (C) to (A) and select the rate closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all other companies. See Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof From France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 (September 1, 2010). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[Page 61364]] Final Determination The final weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Weighted- average Exporter/manufacturer dumping margin (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Borusan Istikbal Ticaret................................ 22.95 Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S........... 22.95 [Ccedil]ayirova Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S./Y[uuml]cel 22.95 Boru Ithalat-Ihracat ve Pazarlama A.S.................. Tos[ccedil]elik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S./Tosyali 6.66 Dis Ticaret A.S........................................ All Others.............................................. 7.10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclosure We will disclose the calculations performed within five days of the date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of welded line pipe from Turkey, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after May 22, 2015, the date of publication of the preliminary determination of this investigation in the Federal Register. Further, the Department will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated amount by which the normal value exceeds the U.S. price as shown above. If a CVD order is issued and suspension of liquidation is resumed, the Department will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated amount by which the normal value exceed the U.S. price as shown above, adjusted for export subsidies, as appropriate, found in the final determination of the companion countervailing duty investigation on welded line pipe from Turkey.\6\ Specifically, consistent with our practice, where the product under investigation is also subject to a concurrent countervailing duty investigation, we instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the amount by which the normal value exceeds the export price or constructed export price, as indicated below, less the amount of the countervailing duty determined to constitute an export subsidy.\7\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \6\ The Department terminated the suspension of liquidation associated with the CVD investigation effective July 18, 2015. See CBP message no. 5201304 dated July 20, 2015. Therefore, until and unless suspension of liquidation is resumed, we will not adjust the AD cash deposit rate for collection of duties associated with export subsidies. \7\ See, e.g., Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 From India, 69 FR 67306, 67307 (Nov. 17, 2004); and Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Negative Critical Circumstances Determination: Bottom Mount Combination Refrigerator-Freezers From the Republic of Korea, 77 FR 17413 (March 26, 2012). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accordingly, if a CVD order is issued, for cash deposit purposes, we will subtract from the applicable cash deposit rate that portion of the rate attributable to the export subsidies found in the affirmative countervailing duty determination for each respondent (i.e., 27.32 percent for Borusan Istikbal and Borusan Mannesman, 0.86 percent for [Ccedil]ayirova and all others, and 0.86 percent for Tos[ccedil]elik).\8\ After this adjustment, the resulting cash deposit rates will be 0.00 percent for Borusan Istikbal and Borusan Mannesmann, 22.09 percent for [Ccedil]ayirova, 5.80 percent for Tos[ccedil]elik, and 6.24 percent for all others. The suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \8\ See Memorandum to the File from Alice Maldonado, Analyst, entitled, ``Placing Information on the Record: Export Subsidies Calculated in the Final Determination of the Countervailing Duty Investigation of Welded Line Pipe from the Republic of Turkey,'' dated October 5, 2015. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITC Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the ITC of the final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports of welded line pipe from Turkey no later than 45 days after our final determination. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, the Department will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders (APO) This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. This determination and this notice are issued and published pursuant to sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: October 5, 2015. Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Appendix I--Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation is circular welded carbon and alloy steel (other than stainless steel) pipe of a kind used for oil or gas pipelines (welded line pipe), not more than 24 inches in nominal outside diameter, regardless of wall thickness, length, surface finish, end finish, or stenciling. Welded line pipe is normally produced to the American Petroleum Institute (API) specification 5L, but can be produced to comparable foreign specifications, to proprietary grades, or can be non-graded material. All pipe meeting the physical description set forth above, including multiple-stenciled pipe with an API or comparable foreign specification line pipe stencil is covered by the scope of this investigation. The welded line pipe that is subject to this investigation is currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under subheadings 7305.11.1030, 7305.11.5000, 7305.12.1030, 7305.12.5000, 7305.19.1030, 7305.19.5000, 7306.19.1010, 7306.19.1050, 7306.19.5110, and 7306.19.5150. The subject merchandise may also enter in HTSUS 7305.11.1060 and 7305.12.1060. While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this investigation is dispositive.
