Welded Large Diameter Line Pipe From Japan: Notice of Rescission
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On January 31, 2012, the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') published a notice of initiation of an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on welded large diameter line pipe
from Japan. The review covers five producers/exporters of welded large
diameter line pipe from Japan, which are, JFE Steel Corporation, Nippon
Steel Corporation, Sumitomo Corporation, Sumitomo Metal Industries,
Ltd., and Sumitomo Metals Pipe & Tube Company. Based on a withdrawal of
the request for review from United States Steel Corporation (hereafter
``U.S. Steel''), a domestic producer of welded large diameter line
pipe, we are now rescinding this administrative review in full.
DATES: Effective Date: May 22, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Drury, or Angelica Mendoza, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 1, 2011, the Department published in the Federal
Register the notice of opportunity to request an administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on welded large diameter line pipe from
Japan for the period December 1, 2010, through November 30, 2011. See
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 76 FR
74773 (December 1, 2011). On January 3, 2012, the Department received a
request from U.S. Steel that the Department conduct an administrative
review covering five producers/exporters of welded large diameter line
pipe from Japan. On January 31, 2012, the Department published in the
Federal Register the notice of initiation of the 2010-2011
administrative review of welded large diameter line pipe from Japan.
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 77 FR 4759 (January 31,
2012).
On March 20, 2012, the Department received notices on behalf of
Sumitomo Corporation as well as Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. and its
wholly owned subsidiary Sumitomo Metals Pipe & Tube Company informing
the Department that neither had made any exports, sales or entries of
subject merchandise into the United States for the period of review
(``POR'').
On March 21, 2012, the Department released the results of a data
query to the United States Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'')
regarding imports into the United States of welded large diameter line
pipe from Japan during the POR. We did not receive any comments from
parties.
On April 30, 2012, U.S. Steel withdrew its request for
administrative review for all companies.
Period of Review
The POR is December 1, 2010, through November 30, 2011.
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
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 date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested
review. As U.S. Steel has withdrawn its request for review of all
companies within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of
initiation of review, the Department is rescinding the review
consistent with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment Instructions
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For
companies 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 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 Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended,
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: May 8, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
