Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary

Results

The Department of Commerce has

received a request to conduct an

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on oil country

tubular goods from Japan. The

Department initiated this review for

Hallmark Tubulars Ltd., Itochu

Corporation, Itochu Project Management

Corp., Nippon Steel Corp., and

Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. on

October 1, 1999 (64 FR 53318). The

review covers the period August 1, 1998

through July 31, 1999.

Because of the complexity of certain

issues, it is not practicable to complete

this review within the time limit

mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A) of the

Act. Therefore, in accordance with that

section, the Department is extending the

time limit for the preliminary results to

August 11, 2000 (See Memorandum

from Edward C. Yang to Joseph A.

Spetrini, Extension of Time Limit, April

7, 2000).

Background

On September 7, 1999, the

the antidumping duty order on OCTGs

from Japan (64 FR 48589). We published

the final results of review on March 22,

2000 (65 FR 15305).

On March 14, 2000, we received

allegations from respondent, Sumitomo

Metal Industries (SMI), that we had

made ministerial errors in our

calculations of the final results of

review.

order consists of OCTGs, hollow steel

products of circular cross-section,

drill pipe, 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, tubing, or

drill pipe containing 10.5 percent or
