SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 19, 1997, the Department published in the Federal Register

a list of antidumping and countervailing duty cases with May order

anniversary dates for which we had received timely requests for review.

In addition, during May 1997, we received a timely request from the

U.S. petitioners to initiate an administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on certain steel pipe and tube from Turkey. This

case was inadvertently omitted from the June 19, 1997, initiation

notice. In accordance with sections 19 C.F.R. 353.22(c) and 355.22(c),

we are initiating an administrative review of the antidumping duty

order on certain welded carbon steel pipe and tube from Turkey. The

Department is not initiating an administrative review of any exporters

and/or producers who were not named in the review request

[[Page 35155]]

because such exporters and/or producers were not specified as required

under section 353.22(a) (19 CFR 353.22(a)). We intend to issue the

final results of this review not later than May 31, 1998.

If requested within 30 days of the date of publication of this

notice, the Department will determine whether antidumping duties have

been absorbed by an exporter or producer subject to this review if the

subject merchandise is sold in the United States through an importer

which is affiliated with such exporter or producer.

Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under

administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 C.F.R. 353.34(b)

and 355.34(b).

This initiation and this notice are in accordance with section

751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)) and 19

CFR 353.22(c)(1) and 355.22(c)(1).

Dated: June 24, 1997.

Richard W. Moreland,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
