Although the HTSUS subheadings are

provided for convenience and customs

scope of this review is dispositive.

Comments

1. Conversion of Data

SMI alleges that the Department

committed a ministerial error by

calculating its margin on a per meter

basis, as opposed to a per metric ton

basis. SMI argues that calculations

pertaining to OCTGs should be made on

a per metric ton basis because (1) this

has been the Department’s policy in the

past, (2) as a result of varying wall

thickness, one meter of two different

products will not weigh the same and

will have different costs, values, and

prices, (3) transactions in OCTGs are

commonly conducted on a per metric

ton basis, (4) the steel industry tracks

OCTG costs, values, and prices on a perweight basis, and (5) SMI’s cost

accounting system is based on weight.

Department’s Position: We agree with

SMI. SMI reported data on a per foot,

per meter, per kilogram, per metric ton,

and per piece basis. For our preliminary

results, we attempted to convert all data

into per metric ton values. For our final

results, we reconverted SMI’s data as a

result of a conversion error discovered

in our preliminary calculations. In

reconverting the data, however, we

converted to per meter values, instead of

per metric ton values.

Calculating the margin on a per metric

ton basis will be consistent with

previous reviews and the investigation,

with SMI’s cost accounting system, and

with the way in which the merchandise

is sold. Therefore, we have recalculated

SMI’s margin on a per metric ton basis

for these amended final results.

2. Conversion of Variable Cost of

Manufacturing Data

SMI alleges that we used an incorrect

conversion rate when we converted the

variable cost of manufacturing of its

U.S. product from a per metric ton

amount to a per meter amount.

Department’s Position: Because we

agree that SMI’s reported values should

not have been converted to per meter

values, this allegation is moot.

Amended Final Results of Review

Upon review of the submitted

allegations, we determine that the

following percentage weighted-average

margin exists for the period August 1,

1997 through July 31, 1998:

Manufacturer/exporter Margin

(percent)

Sumitomo Metal Industries ........... 0.00

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following deposit requirements

will be effective upon publication of

this notice of final results of

administrative review for all shipments

of oil country tubular goods from Japan

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after the date of

publication, as provided by section

751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit

rate for the reviewed company will be

the rate shown above; (2) for previously

reviewed or investigated companies not

listed above, the cash deposit rate will

continue to be the company-specific rate

published for the most recent period; (3)

if the exporter is not a firm covered in

this review, a prior review, or the

original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)

investigation, but the manufacturer is,

the cash deposit rate will be the rate

established for the most recent period

for the manufacturer of the

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit

rate for all other manufacturers or

exporters will continue to be 44.2

percent. This rate is the ‘‘All Others’’

rate from the LTFV investigation.

These deposit requirements shall

remain in effect until publication of the

final results of the next administrative

review.

This notice also serves as a final

reminder to importers of their

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)

to file a certificate regarding the

reimbursement of antidumping duties

prior to liquidation of the relevant

entries during this review period.

Failure to comply with this requirement

could result in the Secretary’s

presumption that reimbursement of

antidumping duties occurred and the

subsequent assessment of doubled

antidumping duties.

This notice also serves as a reminder

to parties subject to administrative

protective orders (APO) of their

responsibility concerning the return or

destruction of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written

notification of the return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and terms of an APO is a violation

which is subject to sanction.

We are issuing and publishing this

determination and notice in accordance

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the

Act.

Dated: April 18, 2000.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import
