The products covered by the Orders are certain hollow steel products of circular cross-section, including oil well casing and tubing, of iron (other than cast iron) or steel (both carbon and alloy), whether seamless or welded, regardless of end finish. For a full description of the scope of these orders, see the ``Scope of the Orders,'' in the Appendix to this notice. Merchandise Subject to the Anti-Circumvention Inquiries These anti-circumvention inquiries cover welded OCTG completed in the third countries using inputs manufactured in China and subsequently exported from the third countries to the United States. Initiation of Anti-Circumvention Inquiries Through its regular monitoring of trade data, Commerce has gathered information indicating that hot-rolled steel sheet and strip from China may be exported to Brunei and the Philippines for minor processing, and then exported to the United States as welded OCTG, in circumvention of the Orders. Based on this information, we determine, pursuant to section 781(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.225(b) and (h), that self- initiation of anti-circumvention inquiries is warranted to determine whether certain imports of welded OCTG, completed in Brunei and the Philippines using inputs manufactured in China, are circumventing the Orders. For a full discussion of the basis for our decision to initiate these anti-circumvention inquiries, see the Anti-Circumvention Initiation Memo. See Memorandum, ``Oil Country Tubular Goods from the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Anti-Circumvention Inquiries on the Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders'' (Anti-Circumvention Initiation Memo). This memo is a public document that is dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice and on file electronically via ACCESS. As explained in the Anti-Circumvention Initiation Memo, the available information warrants initiating these anti-circumvention inquiries on a country-wide basis. Commerce has taken this approach in prior anti-circumvention inquiries, where the facts warranted. See, e.g., Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip From the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Anti-Circumvention and Scope Inquiries on the Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders, 85 FR 29401, 29402 (May 15, 2020); see also Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from the Republic of Korea and Taiwan: Initiation of Anti-Circumvention Inquiries on the Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders, 83 FR 37785 (August 2, 2018); Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Anti-Circumvention Inquiry on the Antidumping Duty Order, 82 FR 40556, 40560 (August 25, 2017) (stating at initiation that Commerce would evaluate the extent to which a country-wide finding applicable to all exports might be warranted); Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Anti-Circumvention Inquiries on the Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders, 81 FR 79454, 79458 (November 14, 2016) (stating at initiation that Commerce would evaluate the extent to which a country-wide finding applicable to all exports might be warranted). Consistent with the approach in the prior anti-circumvention inquiries that were initiated on a country-wide basis, Commerce intends to issue questionnaires to solicit information from producers and exporters in each of the third countries concerning their shipments of OCTG to the United States and the origin of any imported inputs being processed into OCTG. A company's failure to respond completely to Commerce's requests for information may result in the application of partial or total facts available, pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, which may include adverse inferences, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act. Notification to Interested Parties In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(b), Commerce determines that available information warrants initiating these anti-circumvention inquiries to determine whether certain imports of welded OCTG, completed in Brunei and the Philippines using inputs manufactured in China, are circumventing the Orders. Accordingly, Commerce hereby notifies all parties on Commerce's scope service list of the initiation of these anti-circumvention inquiries. In addition, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(f)(1)(i) and (ii), in this notice of initiation issued under 19 CFR 351.225(b), we have included a description of the product that is the subject of these anti-circumvention inquiries (i.e., OCTG completed in the third countries using inputs manufactured in China), and an explanation of the reasons for Commerce's decision to initiate these anti-circumvention inquiries, as provided above. Commerce will establish a schedule for questionnaires and comments on the issues in these inquiries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(l)(2), if Commerce issues preliminary affirmative determinations, we will then instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit of estimated antidumping and countervailing duties, at the applicable rate, for each unliquidated entry of the merchandise at issue, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after the date of initiation of the inquiries. Commerce intends to issue its final determinations within 300 days of the date of publication of this initiation, in accordance with section 781(f) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.225(f)(5).
