Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes From Thailand: 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 
Preliminary Finding of No Shipments; 2015-2016

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on circular welded 
carbon steel pipes and tubes (pipes and tubes) from Thailand, covering 
the period of review (POR) March 1, 2015, through February 29, 2016. 
This review covers two manufacturers/exporters of the subject 
merchandise, Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd. (Saha Thai) 
and Pacific Pipe Public Company Limited (Pacific Pipe). The Department 
preliminarily determines that Saha Thai sold subject merchandise at 
less than normal value (NV) during the POR and that Pacific Pipe had no 
shipments during the POR. Interested parties are

invited to comment on these preliminary results.

DATES: Effective April 6, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Toni Page, AD/CVD Operations, Office 
VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, 
DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-1398.

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the antidumping order are certain circular 
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Thailand. The subject 
merchandise has an outside diameter of 0.375 inches or more, but not 
exceeding 16 inches. For a full description of the scope of this order, 
please see the accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Memorandum to Ronald K. Lorentzen, Acting Assistant 
Secretary Enforcement and Compliance from Gary Taverman, Associate 
Deputy Assistant Secretary, ``Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and 
Tubes from Thailand: Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results 
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2015-2016'' (dated 
concurrently with this Federal Register notice) (Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export price 
is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. NV is 
calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act.
    For a full description of the methodology underlying these 
preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, which is 
hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the topics discussed in the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as an appendix to this 
notice. The Preliminary 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 http://access.trade.gov, and 
is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of 
the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete 
version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly 
on the internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic versions of the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    Pacific Pipe timely filed a ``no shipment'' certification stating 
that it had no entries of subject merchandise during the POR.\2\ 
Consistent with its practice, the Department asked CBP to conduct a 
query of potential shipments made by Pacific Pipe. Based on the 
certification of Pacific Pipe and the fact that CBP has not provided 
any contradictory information, we preliminarily determine that Pacific 
Pipe had no shipments during the POR. However, the Department finds 
that it is not appropriate to rescind the review with respect to 
Pacific Pipe, but rather to complete the review with respect to Pacific 
Pipe and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final 
results of this review.\3\

Disclosure, Public Comment and Opportunity To Request a Hearing

    The Department intends to disclose the calculations used in our 
analysis to parties in this review within five days of the date of 
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
    Interested parties may submit written comments (case briefs) no 
later than 30 days after the date of publication of these preliminary 
results of review, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(ii) and rebuttal 
comments (rebuttal briefs) within five days after the time limit for 
filing case briefs, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(d)(1). Pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.309(d)(2), rebuttal briefs must be limited to issues raised in 
the case briefs. Parties who submit arguments are requested to submit 
with the argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of 
the argument; and, (3) a table of authorities. See 19 CFR 351.303 (for 
general filing requirements). All electronically filed documents must 
be received successfully in its entirety by the Department's electronic

including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in any 
written briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of publication 
of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

    Upon completion of this administrative review, the Department shall 
determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If a respondent's 
weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less 
than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we will 
calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates on the basis of 
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for an importer's 
examined sales and the total entered value of such sales in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where either the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 
CFR 351.106(c), or an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we 
will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard 
to antidumping duties.
    The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on 
May 6, 2003.\4\ This clarification applies

[[Page 16795]]

to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by a 
respondent for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for 
the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the 
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For a full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping 
Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment Policy Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of 
the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final 
results of this administrative review, as provided for by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies 
under review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin 
established in the final results of this review (except, if that rate 
is de minimis, then the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) for 
previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above in the 
Preliminary Results of Review, including those for which the Department 
may determine had no shipments during the POR, the cash deposit rate 
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most 
recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is 
not a firm covered in this review or another completed segment of this 
proceeding, but the manufacturer is, then the cash deposit rate will be 
the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) if neither 
the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any 
previously completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit 
rate will be the ``all-others'' rate of 15.67 percent established in 
the less-than-fair-value investigation.\5\ These deposit requirements, 
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Pipes and Tubes from Thailand, 51 FR 8341 (March 11, 1986).

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers 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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: March 31, 2017.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
