fittings are used in piping systems for
chemical plants, pharmaceutical plants,
food processing facilities, waste
treatment facilities, semiconductor
equipment applications, nuclear power
plants and other areas. This
merchandise is classifiable under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the
United States (HTSUS) item number
7307.23.0000. While the HTS item
number is provided for convenience and

product description remains dispositive
as to the scope of the product coverage.
South Korea
The products subject to this order are
certain welded stainless steel butt–weld
pipe fittings (pipe fittings), whether
finished or unfinished, under 14 inches
in inside diameter.
Pipe fittings are used to connect pipe
sections in piping systems where
conditions require welded connections.
The subject merchandise can be used
where one or more of the following
conditions is a factor in designing the
piping system: (1) Corrosion of the
piping system will occur if material
other than stainless steel is used; (2)
contamination of the material in the
system by the system itself must be
prevented; (3) high temperatures are
present; (4) extreme low temperatures
are present; (5) high pressures are
contained within the system.
Pipe fittings come in a variety of
shapes, and the following five are the
most basic: ‘‘elbows,’’ ‘‘tees,’’
‘‘reducers,’’ ‘‘stub ends,’’ and ‘‘caps.’’
The edges of finished fittings are
beveled. Threaded, grooved, and bolted
fittings are excluded from this review.
The pipe fittings subject to this order are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 2, 2005, the Department
published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping order regarding stainless
steel plate in coils from Taiwan for the
period May 1, 2004, through April 30,
2005. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 70
FR 22631. On May 31, 2005, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1) of
the Department of Commerce’s (the
Department’s) regulations, the
petitioners1 requested a review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel plate in coils from Taiwan.
In June 2005, the Department initiated
an administrative review for the
following companies: Chain Chin
Industrial Co., Ltd.; Chang Mien
Industries Co., Ltd.; Chien Shing
Stainless Co., Ltd.; China Steel
Corporation; East Tack Enterprise Co.,
Ltd.; Emerdex Stainless Steel Flat Roll
Products, Inc.; Emerdex Stainless Steel,

to them. See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 70 FR 37749 (Jun. 30, 2005).
On August 11, 2005, the petitioners
withdrew their request for review.
Rescission of Review
The petitioners withdrew their
request for an administrative review for
the above–referenced period within the
time limits set forth in 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1). Therefore, because no
other interested party requested a
review, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1) and consistent with our
practice, we are rescinding this review
of the antidumping duty order on
stainless steel plate in coils from

Structural Steel Beams from Japan and
South Korea; Final Results of
Expedited Sunset Reviews of the
Antidumping Duty Orders
AGENCY: Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On May 2, 2005, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated a sunset review of
the antidumping duty orders on
structural steel beams (steel beams) from
Japan and South Korea, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended, (the Tariff Act). On the
basis of the notice of intent to
participate and adequate substantive
responses filed on behalf of the
domestic interested parties and
inadequate responses from respondent
interested parties, the Department
conducted expedited sunset reviews. As
a result of these sunset reviews, the
Department finds that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at the levels listed below in
the section entitled ‘‘Final Results of
Reviews.’’
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 9, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 2, 2005, the Department

The Department received notices of
intent to participate from the domestic
interested parties, Committee for Fair
Beam Imports, Nucor Corp., Nucor–
Yamoto Steel Co., Steel Dynamics, Inc.,
and TXI–Chaparral Steel, Inc.
(collectively, domestic interested
parties), within the deadline specified
in section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of the
Department’s regulations. Domestic
interested parties claimed interested
party status under section 771(9)(C) of
the Tariff Act as U.S. producers of a
domestic like product. We received a
complete substantive response from the
domestic interested parties within the
30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). However, we did not
receive responses from any respondent
interested parties. As a result, pursuant
to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Tariff Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the
Department conducted expedited sunset
reviews of these orders.
Scope of the Orders

shapes, whether hot or cold–rolled,
drawn, extruded, formed or finished,
having at least one dimension of at least

punched, notched, painted, coated, or
clad. These products (Structural Steel
Beams) include, but are not limited to,
wide–flange beams (W shapes), bearing
piles (HP shapes), standard beams (S or
I shapes), and M–shapes.
