UNITED STATES – ANTI -DUMPING MEASURES ON  CERTAIN OIL  
COUNTRY TUBULAR GOODS  FROM KOREA  
STATUS REPORT REGARDING IMPLEMENTA TION OF THE  
DSB RECOMMENDATIONS AND RULINGS  
BY THE UNITED STATES  
Addendum  
The following communication, dated 13 June 2019, from the delegation of the United States to the 
Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is  circulated pursuant to Article 21.6 of the DSU.  
 
_______________  
 
 
The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understandi ng on Rules 
and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU"). 
On 12 January 2018, the Dispute Settlement Body ( "DSB") adopted its recommendations in 
United  States – Anti-Dumping Measures on Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from Korea 
(WT/DS488). At the DSB meeting held on 9 February 2018, the United States informed the DSB of 
its intention to implement the recommendations of the DSB in connection with this matter.  
On 26 February 2018, the United States and Korea informed the DSB that t hey had agreed that the 
reasonable period of time to implement the DSB 's recommen dations and rulings would be 
12 months, expiring on 12 January 2019.  On  11 January 2019, the United States and Korea 
informed the DSB that they had mutually agreed to modify the reasonable period of time. The 
reasonable period of time now expires on  12 July 2019.  
On 23 November 2018, the U.S. Department of Commerce published a notice in the Federal Register 
indicating that it "is commencing a proceeding to gather information, analyze record evidence, and 
consider the determination which would be necessary to bring its measures into conformity with the 
recommendations and rulings of the Dispute Settlement Body. "1 In the notice, the U.S. Department 
of Commerce invited interested parties wishing to participate in this proceeding to file letters of 
appearance and submit applications for disclosure of business proprietary information . 
On 24 May 2019, the U.S. Departme nt of Commerce published a decision memorandum in which it 
preliminarily determined that it was appropriate to clarify the scope of the antidumping duty order 
on certain oil country tubular goo ds from the Republic of Korea. The U.S. Department of Commerce 
also preliminarily determined that it was unable to use respondents ' actual data to determine profit
