Circular Welded Carbon-Quality Steel Pipe From the United Arab 
Emirates: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances 
Review

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On July 29, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) 
published the initiation and preliminary results of the changed 
circumstances review (CCR) of the antidumping duty (AD) order on 
circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe (CWP) from the United Arab 
Emirates (UAE). For these final results, Commerce continues to find 
that Universal Tube and Pipe Industries FZE (Universal Tube and Pipe), 
is the successor-in-interest to Universal Tube and Plastic Industries 
Limited (UTP). Additionally, we determine that Universal Tube and Pipe 
should be assigned UTP's cash deposit rate for purposes of the AD 
order.

DATES: Applicable September 17, 2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Genevieve Coen, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office II, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3251.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 29, 2024, Commerce published the initiation and preliminary 
results of this expedited CCR, finding that Universal Tube and Pipe is 
the successor-in-interest to UTP, and should be assigned the same AD 
cash deposit rate assigned to UTP in the AD order on CWP from the UAE 
and provided all interested parties with an opportunity to comment.\1\ 
No interested party submitted comments on the Initiation and 
Preliminary Results or requested a hearing. Accordingly, the final 
results remain unchanged from the Initiation and Preliminary Results.

United Arab Emirates: Notice of Initiation and Preliminary Results 
of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review, 89 FR 60863 (July 
29, 2024) (Initiation and Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the Order are CWP from the UAE. For a 
complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Initiation and 
Preliminary Results.

Final Results of CCR

    For the reasons stated in the Initiation and Preliminary Results, 
and because we received no comments from interested parties to the 
contrary, Commerce continues to find Universal Tube and Pipe is the 
successor-in-interest to UTP for purposes of the AD order on CWP from 
the UAE. As a result of this determination and consistent with our 
practice, we find that Universal Tube and Pipe should receive the AD 
cash deposit rate previously assigned to UTP with respect to entries of 
subject merchandise in the above-noted proceeding. As there are no 
changes from the Initiation and Preliminary Results, there is no 
decision memorandum accompanying this notice and we are adopting the 
determination in the Initiation and Preliminary Results as the final 
results of this CCR.
    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to 
suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject merchandise produced or 
exported by Universal Tube and Pipe and entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this 
notice in the Federal Register at 1.00 percent, which is the current AD 
cash deposit rate for UTP.\2\ These cash deposit requirements shall 
remain in effect until further notice.
