**AGENCY:**
Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
**SUMMARY:**
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily finds that large diameter welded pipe (LDWP) from Canada was sold in the United States at less than normal value during the period of review (POR) of May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024. Further, we preliminary find that Evraz Inc. NA (Evraz) had no reviewable shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Finally, Commerce is rescinding this administrative review, in part, with respect to certain companies that had no entries of subject merchandise during the POR. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On May 2, 2019, Commerce published in the *Federal Register* the antidumping duty (AD) order on LDWP from Canada. [^1] On July 5, 2024, based on timely requests for review from the petitioner and Pipe & Piling Supplies (Pipe & Piling), [^2] in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of the *Order* covering 41 exporters and/or producers. [^3] On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days. [^4] Further, on December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by an additional 90 days. [^5] On April 23, 2025, we extended the deadline for these preliminary results to September 5, 2025. [^6] For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, *see* the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. [^7]
[^1]*See Large Diameter Welded Pipe from Canada: Antidumping Duty Order,* 84 FR 18775 (May 2, 2019) ( *Order* ).
[^2] In the 2022-2023 administrative review, Commerce found that Pipe & Piling Supplies Ltd., 1045761 Ontario Ltd. (Operated as Canadian Phoenix Steel Products), and Spiralco Inc. should be collapsed and treated as a single entity (collectively, Pipe & Piling). *See Large Diameter Welded Pipe from Canada: Preliminary Results and Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022-2023,* 89 FR 44635 (May 21, 2024), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum, unchanged in *Large Diameter Welded Pipe from Canada: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative review; 2022-2023,* (October 31, 2024).

We note that Commerce initiated reviews on two name variations for Pipe & Piling ( *i.e.,* Pipe & Piling Sply Ltd. and Pipe & Piling Supplies), as well as for Prudential (Prudental), Shaw Pipe Protection (Shaw Pipe Protecction), and Lorenz Conveying Products (Lorenz Conveying P.).

**Scope of the Order**
The product subject to the *Order* is LDWP from Canada. A complete description of the scope of the *Order* is contained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
**Methodology**
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce preliminarily relied entirely upon facts otherwise available with adverse inferences for Pipe & Piling. For a complete description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, *see* the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached in Appendix I of 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 *https://access.trade.gov.* In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is available at *https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.*
**Rescission of Review, In Part**
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation in the *Federal Register* . On October 3, 2024, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for review of Canam (St Gedeon). [^8] Because no other party requested a review of this company, Commerce is rescinding this review with respect to Canam (St Gedeon), in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
[^8]*See* Petitioner's Letter, “Partial Withdraw of Request for Administrative Review,” dated October 3, 2024. We note that while the petitioner also withdrew its request for review of Pipe & Piling Sply Ltd and Pipe & Piling Supplies, Pipe & Piling also requested its own review.
Further, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), Commerce will rescind an administrative review when there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which liquidation is suspended. Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate calculated for the POR. [^9] Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be at least one reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate at the AD assessment rate calculated for the review period. [^10]
[^9]*See* 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
[^10]*See* 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
On May 20, 2025, we notified parties of our intent to rescind this administrative review, in part, with respect to the companies listed in Appendix II because there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise produced or exported by these companies during the POR. [^11] We invited interested parties to comment on our intent to rescind the review, in part; [^12] however, we received no comments from interested parties. Therefore, in the absence of any suspended entries of subject merchandise from the companies listed in Appendix II during the POR, we are rescinding this review, in part, with respect to these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
[^11]*See* Memorandum, “Notice of Intent to Rescind Review, in Part,” dated May 20, 2025.
[^12]*Id.*
**Preliminary Determination of No Shipments**
Based on record information, we preliminarily determine that Evraz did not have knowledge that subject merchandise it produced was destined for the United States and thus Evraz is not considered the exporter of subject merchandise during the POR for the purposes of this review. Therefore, we preliminarily determine that Evraz made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Consistent with Commerce's practice, we find that it is not appropriate to rescind the review with respect to Evraz, but rather to complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of this review.

**Preliminary Results of Review**
Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024:
| Producer and/or exporter | Weighted- |
| --- | --- |
| Pipe & Piling Supplies Ltd.; 1045761 Ontario Ltd.; Spiralco Inc | 50.89 |
**Disclosure**
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations performed in connection with the preliminary results within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of preliminary results in the *Federal Register* , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce preliminarily applied total adverse facts available (AFA) to the sole mandatory respondent ( *i.e.,* Pipe & Piling), in accordance with section 776 of the Act, and the applied AFA rate is based solely on the petition, there are no calculations to disclose.
**Public Comment**
Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), we have modified the deadline for interested parties to submit case briefs to Commerce to not later than 21 days after the date of the publication of this notice. [^14] Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed no later than five days after the date for filing case briefs. [^15] Interested parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities. [^16] All briefs must be filed electronically using ACCESS. An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its entirety in ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the established deadline.

[^16]*See* 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public, executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs. [^17] Further, we request that interested parties limit their public executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We intend to use the public executive summaries as the basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that will accompany the final determination in this review. We request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant citations in the public executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f). [^18]
[^17] We use the term “issue” here to describe an argument that Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
[^18]*See APO and Service Final Rule.*
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern time, within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants and whether any participant is a foreign national; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce will inform interested parties of the scheduled date for the hearing. [^19]
[^19]*See* 19 CFR 351.310(d).
All submissions, including case and rebuttal briefs, as well as hearing requests, should be filed via ACCESS. [^20] An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its entirety in ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the established deadline.

[^21]*See APO and Service Final Rule,* 88 FR at 67069.
**Assessment Rates**
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, upon completion of the final results, Commerce shall determine and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. [^22] Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP regarding Pipe & Piling and Evraz no earlier than 41 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the *Federal Register* , in accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a). If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired ( *i.e.,* within 90 days of publication).
[^22]*See* 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
With respect to the companies listed in Appendix II for which are rescinding this review, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the POR, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). For these companies, Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 41 days after the date of publication of these preliminary results of review in the *Federal Register* .
**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 in the *Federal Register* of the notice of final results of administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Pipe & Piling will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment in which they were reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or another completed segment of this proceeding, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established for the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 12.32 percent, the all-others rate established in the final determination of the less-than-fair value investigation. [^23] These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
[^23]*See Order,* 85 FR at 18776.
**Final Results of Review**
Unless the deadline is otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised by interested parties in written briefs, within 120 days after the date of publication of this notice in the *Federal Register* , pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
**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 POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
**Notification to Interested Parties**
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(4).
