Drill Pipe From the People’s Republic 

of China: Amendment to Initiation of 

Antidumping Duty Investigation 

DATES: Effective Date: February 18, 

2010. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) is currently conducting 

an antidumping duty investigation of 

drill pipe from the People’s Republic of 

China (‘‘PRC’’). The period of 

investigation (‘‘POI’’) is April 1, 2009, 

through September 30, 2009. We are 

limiting the number of quantity and 

value questionnaires that will be sent 

directly to exporters and producers and 

extending the deadline for parties to 

submit a response to the quantity and 

value questionnaire. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Toni 

Dach or Bobby Wong, AD/CVD 

Operations Office 9, (202) 482–1655 or 

(202) 482–0409, respectively; Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. 

BACKGROUND 

On January 28, 2010, the Department 

published a notice of initiation of an 

antidumping duty investigation of drill 

pipe from the PRC. See Drill Pipe from 

the People’s Republic of China: 

Initiation of Antidumping Duty 

Investigations, 75 FR 4531 (January 28, 

2010) (‘‘Initiation’’). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Initiation, the Department stated that it 

intended to release quantity and value 

questionnaires to those PRC companies 

known to be exporters and producers of 

subject merchandise identified with 

complete contact information in the 

Petition by the Petitioners.1 See 

‘‘Petitions for the Imposition of 

Antidumping and Countervailing 

Duties: Drill Pipe from the People’s 

Republic of China,’’ dated December 31, 

2009 (‘‘Petition’’), at Exhibit I–7; see also 

‘‘Petitions for the Imposition of 

Antidumping and Countervailing 

Duties: Response to the Department’s 

Letter of January 14, 2010,’’ dated 

January 15, 2010, at Exhibit 4. 

Petitioners identified 77 producers 

and exporters of drill pipe from the 

PRC. Subsequent to the Initiation, after 

considering the large number of 

producers and exporters of drill pipe 

from the PRC identified by Petitioners, 

and considering the resources that must 

be utilized by the Department to mail 

quantity and value questionnaires to all 

77 identified producers and exporters— 

including entering each address in a 

shipping handler’s Web site, researching 

companies’ addresses to ensure 

correctness, organizing mailings, and 

following up on potentially 

undeliverable mailings—the Department 

has thus determined that we do not 

have sufficient administrative resources 

to mail quantity and value 

questionnaires to all 77 identified 

producers and exporters. Therefore, the 

Department has determined to limit the 

number of quantity and value 

questionnaires it will send out to 

exporters and producers based on U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

data for U.S. imports under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) numbers 

7304.22.0030, 7304.22.0045, 

7304.22.0060, 7304.23.3000, 

7304.23.6030, 7304.23.6045, 

7304.23.6060 and 8431.43.8040. These 

are the same HTSUS numbers used by 

Petitioner to demonstrate that dumping 

occurred during the POI, and closely 

match the subject merchandise. See 

Petition at 13–17. The Department will 

review the CBP data and comments 

from parties on the CBP data to 

determine how many quantity and value 

questionnaires we will mail to 

producers and exporters of drill pipe 

from the PRC. 

Moreover, although the Department is 

limiting the number of quantity and 

value questionnaires it will send out, 

exporters and producers of drill pipe 

that do not receive quantity and value 

questionnaires that intend to submit a 

response can obtain a copy from the 

Import Administration Web site at 

http://ia.ita.doc.gov/ia-highlights-andnews.html. Accordingly, the Department 

is extending the deadline to submit 

responses to the quantity and value 

questionnaires from February 11, 2010, 

to March 2, 2010. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with section 777(i) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. 

Dated: February 4, 2010. 

Ronald K. Lorentzen, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
