SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department published an antidumping duty order on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Mexico on November 2, 1992. See Notice of Antidumping Duty Orders: Certain Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Brazil, the Republic of Korea ("Korea"), Mexico, and Venezuela and Amendment to Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Korea , 57 FR 49453 (November 2, 1992). The Department published a notice of "Opportunity to Request an Administrative Review" of the antidumping duty order for the period November 1, 2004, through October 31, 2005, on November 1, 2005. See 70 FR 65883. Respondents NDN, Hylsa, Prolamsa, Mueller, and interested party Southland requested that the Department conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe and tube from Mexico on November 30, 2005. In response to these requests, the Department published the initiation of the antidumping duty administrative review on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Mexico on December 22, 2005. See 70 FR 76024. The Department received requests for withdrawal from the administrative review from Mueller, NDN, and Southland on January 31, 2006. The Department received a request for withdrawal from the administrative review from Hylsa on February 27, 2006.
Prolamsa
On December 14, 2005, the Department received a letter from respondent Prolamsa. The letter indicated that U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") liquidated all of Prolamsa's entries of merchandise during the period of review that Prolamsa considered to be covered by the scope of the order. See Letter from Prolamsa to the Department, dated December 14, 2005. In response, the Department requested that Prolamsa provide data on all sales of merchandise made during the period of review that Prolamsa considered covered by the order; see Memorandum to the File from John Drury, Senior Case Analyst, dated December 19, 2005. Prolamsa provided the requested information; see Letter from Prolamsa to the Department, dated December 20, 2005. Petitioners filed comments regarding the information submitted by Prolamsa on January 23, 2006; see Letter from Petitioners to the Department, dated January 23, 2006. In response, Prolamsa requested that the Department determine whether the merchandise exported by Prolamsa during the period of review was merchandise subject to the scope of the order; see Letter from Prolamsa to the Department, dated February 6, 2006.
Based on a review of the evidence on the record, the Department determined that Prolamsa had not sold merchandise subject to the order during the period of review. See Letter from the Department to Prolamsa, dated February 14, 2006.
