Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum.6 Commerce is preliminarily modifying the scope language as it appeared in the Initiation Notice. See the revised scope in Appendix I to this notice.
The deadline to submit scope case briefs was established in the Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum.7 There will be no further opportunity for comments on scoperelated issues.
Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices in accordance with section 772a of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
All-Others Rate Section 733d1Aii of the Act provides that in the preliminary determination, Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined. Pursuant to section 735c5A of the Act, this 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 and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act.
Commerce calculated an individual estimated weighted-average dumping margin for PAO TMK and Volzhsky Pipe Plant collectively, TMK, the only individually examined exporter/
producer in this investigation. Because the only individually calculated dumping margin is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available, the estimated weighted-average dumping margin calculated for TMK is the dumping margin assigned to all other producers and exporters, pursuant to section 735c5A of the Act.
