EFFECTIVE DATE: August 11, 1995. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian C. Smith or John Beck, Office of [[Page 41058]] Antidumping Duty Investigations, Import Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. 20230; telephone (202) 482-1766 or (202) 482-3464, respectively. Scope of Order In its final determination, the Department determined that oil country tubular goods (OCTG) comprised one class or kind of merchandise. In its final determination, the International Trade Commission (ITC) found two like products: (1) Drill pipe and (2) OCTG other than drill pipe (i.e., casing and tubing). The ITC did not find material injury, or threat of material injury with regard to drill pipe. Consequently, the antidumping duty order covers only OCTG other than drill pipe. The merchandise covered by this order are OCTG, hollow steel products of circular cross-section, including only oil well casing and tubing, of iron (other than cast iron) or steel (both carbon and alloy), whether seamless or welded, whether or not conforming to American Petroleum Institute (API) or non-API specifications, whether finished or unfinished (including green tubes and limited service OCTG products). This scope does not cover casing or tubing pipe containing 10.5 percent or more of chromium, or drill pipe. The OCTG subject to this order are currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under item numbers: 7304.20.10.10, 7304.20.10.20, 7304.20.10.30, 7304.20.10.40, 7304.20.10.50, 7304.20.10.60, 7304.20.10.80, 7304.20.20.10, 7304.20.20.20, 7304.20.20.30, 7304.20.20.40, 7304.20.20.50, 7304.20.20.60, 7304.20.20.80, 7304.20.30.10, 7304.20.30.20, 7304.20.30.30, 7304.20.30.40, 7304.20.30.50, 7304.20.30.60, 7304.20.30.80, 7304.20.40.10, 7304.20.40.20, 7304.20.40.30, 7304.20.40.40, 7304.20.40.50, 7304.20.40.60, 7304.20.40.80, 7304.20.50.15, 7304.20.50.30, 7304.20.50.45, 7304.20.50.60, 7304.20.50.75, 7304.20.60.15, 7304.20.60.30, 7304.20.60.45, 7304.20.60.60, 7304.20.60.75, 7305.20.20.00, 7305.20.40.00, 7305.20.60.00, 7305.20.80.00, 7306.20.10.30, 7306.20.10.90, 7306.20.20.00, 7306.20.30.00, 7306.20.40.00, 7306.20.60.10, 7306.20.60.50, 7306.20.80.10, and 7306.20.80.50. Drill pipe is classifiable under HTSUS item numbers 7304.20.70.00, 7304.20.80.30, 7304.20.80.45, and 7304.20.80.60. However, pursuant to the ITC's negative determination regarding drill pipe, we have deleted these numbers from the scope of this order. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive. Applicable Statute and Regulations Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute and to the Department's regulations are in reference to the provisions as they existed on December 31, 1994. Antidumping Duty Order On August 2, 1995, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) notified the Department of its final determination in this investigation that imports of drill pipe from Korea do not cause or threaten material injury to a U.S. industry. Therefore, the scope of this order does not include drill pipe. However, the ITC did find that imports of OCTG other than drill pipe from Korea materially injure a U.S. industry. Therefore, in accordance with section 736 of the Act, the Department will direct U.S. Customs officers to assess, upon further advice by the administering authority pursuant to section 736(a)(1) of the Act, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the foreign market value of the merchandise exceeds the United States price for all entries of OCTG other than drill pipe from Korea except those entries of Hyundai Steel Pipe Company, Ltd. These antidumping duties will be assessed on all unliquidated entries of OCTG other than drill pipe from Korea, except those entries from Hyundai Steel Pipe Company, Ltd., entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after February 2, 1995, the date on which the Department published its preliminary determination notice in the Federal Register (60 FR 6507). On or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, U.S. Customs officers must require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties, the following cash deposits for the subject merchandise: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Weighted- average Manufacturer/producer/exporter margin percentage ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hyundai Steel Pipe Company, Ltd............................ 00.00 Union Steel Manufacturing Company.......................... 12.17 All Others................................................. 12.17 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This notice constitutes the antidumping duty order with respect to OCTG other than drill pipe from Korea, pursuant to section 736(a) of the Act. Interested parties may contact the Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the Main Commerce Building, for copies of an updated list of antidumping duty orders currently in effect. This order is published in accordance with section 736(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 353.21. Dated: August 4, 1995. Susan G. Esserman, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
