consumption on or after the publication 

date of these final results, as provided 

by section 751(a) of the Act: (1) For 

Mittal no cash deposit will be required; 

(2) for merchandise exported by 

producers or exporters not covered in 

this review, but covered in the less–

than-fair–value (LTFV) investigation, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company–specific rate established 

in the final determination; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review or the LTFV investigation, but 

the producer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the 

producer of the subject merchandise for 

the most recent period; and (4) if neither 

the exporter nor the producer is a firm 

covered in this review or the less–thanfair–value investigation, the cash 

deposit rate will be 11.40 percent, the

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this review 

period. Failure to comply with this 

requirement could result in the 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

increase in antidumping duties by the 

amount of antidumping and/or 

countervailing duties reimbursed. 

Administrative Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APOs) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 that is subject to 

sanction. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results and notice in accordance with 

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

Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 31, 2006, the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

preliminary results of the administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on OCTG from Korea. See Preliminary 

Results. Since the Preliminary Results, 

the following events have occurred. We 

received case briefs on October 2, 2006, 

and rebuttal briefs on October 10, 2006. 

On October 24, 2006, the Department 

sent a letter to the parties informing 

them that Domestic Interested Parties, 

IPSCO Tubulars, Inc., Lone Star Steel 

Company, and Maverick Tube 

Corporations (collectively, IPSCO 

Tubulars) as well as the Petitioner, U.S. 

Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel) were 

being provided an opportunity to 

submit a rebuttal brief solely in 

reference to a new issue raised by 

Respondents in their case brief. The 

Department received these rebuttal 

briefs from IPSCO Tubulars on October 

30, 2006, and U.S. Steel Corporation on 

November 1, 2006. On December 22, 

2006, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’), the Department extended the 

final results by 60 days to February 27, 

2006. See Notice of Extension of Time 

Limit for Final Results of Administrative 

Review: Oil Country Tubular Goods, 

Other Than Drill Pipe, from Korea, 71 

FR 76977 (December 22, 2006). 

Scope of the Antidumping Duty Order 

The products covered by this order 

are OCTG, hollow steel products of 

circular cross-section, including only oil 

well casing and tubing, of iron (other

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 or tubing 

pipe containing 10.5 percent or more of 

chromium, or drill pipe. The products

Analysis of Comments Received 

The issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties to this 

administrative review are addressed in 

the Issues and Decisions Memorandum 

for the Final Results of the 

Administrative Review of the 

Antidumping Duty Order on Oil Country 

Tubular Goods (‘‘OCTG’’) from Korea, 

February 27, 2007 (Issues and Decisions 

Memorandum), which is hereby 

adopted by this notice. The Issues and 

Decisions Memorandum is on file in the 

Central Records Unit (CRU), room B–

099 of the Department of Commerce 

main building and can be accessed 

directly at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The 

paper copy and electronic version of the 

Issues and Decisions Memorandum are 

identical in content. A list of the issues 

addressed in the Issues and Decisions 

Memorandum is appended to this 

notice. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we have made 

changes in the calculations for the final 

dumping margin. The changes are 

discussed in detail in the Issues and 

Decisions Memorandum and in the 

Memorandum from Dara Iserson, Case 

Analyst, to the File: Analysis of Husteel 

Corporation (‘‘Husteel’’) for the Final 

Results of the Administrative Review of 

Oil Country Tubular Goods, Other Than 

Drill Pipe from Korea, and 

Memorandum from Nicholas 

Czajkowski, Case Analyst, to the File: 

Analysis of SeaH Steel Corporation 

(‘‘SeAH’’) for the Final Results of the 

Administrative Review of Oil Country 

Tubular Goods, Other Than Drill Pipe 

from Korea, dated February 27, 2007, on 

file in the CRU. 

Final Results of Review 

As a result of our review, we 

determine that the following weighted–

average margins exist for the period 

August 1, 2004, through July 31, 2005: 

Manufacturer/Exporter Margin (percent) 

SeAH Steel Corporation 4.73 

Husteel Co., Ltd. ........... 0.39 (de minimis) 

Assessment Rates 

The Department will determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.212(b). The Department 

calculated importer- specific duty 

assessment rates (or, when the importer 

was unknown by the respondent, 

customer–specific duty assessment 

rates) on the basis of the ratio of the total 

amount of antidumping duties 

calculated for the examined sales 

observations involving each importer to 

the total entered value of the examined 

sales observations for that importer. The 

Department intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

date of publication of these final results 

of review. 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. This clarification will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by companies 

included in these final results of review 

for which the reviewed companies did 

not know their merchandise was 

destined for the United States. In such 

instances, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the ‘‘All 

Others’’ rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction. For a discussion of this 

clarification, see Notice of Policy 

Concerning Assessment of Antidumping 

Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following antidumping duty cash 

deposit rates will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of OCTG from Korea entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results, as provided for 

by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) for 

SeAH, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate shown above, (2) since the dumping 

margin for Husteel is de minimis (less 

than 0.50 percent), no cash deposit will 

be required for Husteel, 3) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will be the company–

specific rate established for the most 

recent period, (4) if the exporter is not 

a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the 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 subject merchandise, and (5) if 

neither the exporter nor the 

manufacturer is a firm covered by this 

review, a prior review, or the LTFV 

investigation, the cash deposit rate shall 

be the all others rate established in the 

LTFV investigation, which is 12.17 

percent. See Final Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Oil 

Country Tubular Goods from Korea, 60 

FR 33561 (June 28, 1995). These deposit 

rates, when imposed, shall remain in 

effect until publication of the final 

results of the next administrative 

review. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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. 

Notification Regarding APOs 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a). 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 sanctionable 

violation. 

These final results of administrative 

review and this notice are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Initiation of Antidumping Duty 

Investigation: Sodium 

Hexametaphosphate From the 

People’s Republic of China 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 6, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christopher Riker or Erin Begnal, AD/ 

CVD Operations, Office 9, Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; 

telephone: (202) 482–3441 or (202) 482–

1442, respectively. 

Initiation of Investigation 

The Petition 

On February 8, 2007, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) received a 

petition on imports of sodium 

hexametaphosphate (‘‘SHMP’’) from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) 

filed in proper form by ICL Performance 

Products, LP and Innophos, Inc. 

(‘‘Petitioners’’). The period of 

investigation (‘‘POI’’) is July 1, 2006, 

through December 31, 2006. 

In accordance with section 732(b) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’), Petitioners alleged that imports of 

SHMP from the PRC are being, or are 

likely to be, sold in the United States at 

less than fair value within the meaning 

of section 731 of the Act, and that such 

imports are materially injuring and 

threaten to materially injure an industry 

in the United States. The Department 

issued supplemental questions to 

Petitioners on February 12, 2007, and 

February 21, 2007. Petitioners filed their 

responses on February 16, 2007, and 

February 23, 2007. 

Scope of Investigation 

The merchandise subject to this 

investigation is Sodium 

hexametaphosphate (‘‘SHMP’’). SHMP 

is a water-soluble polyphosphate glass 

that consists of a distribution of 

polyphosphate chain lengths. It is a 

collection of sodium polyphosphate 

polymers built on repeating NaPO 3

units. SHMP has a P 2O 5 content from 

60 to 71 percent. Alternate names for 

SHMP include the following: Calgon; 

Calgon S; Glassy Sodium Phosphate; 

Sodium Polyphosphate, Glassy; 

Metaphosphoric Acid; Sodium Salt; 

Sodium Acid Metaphosphate; Graham’s 

Salt; Sodium Hex; Polyphosphoric Acid, 

Sodium Salt; Glass H; Hexaphos; 

Sodaphos; Vitrafos; and BAC-N-FOS. 

SHMP is typically sold as a white 

powder or granule (crushed) and may 

also be sold in the form of sheets (glass) 

or as a liquid solution. It is imported 

under heading 2835.39.5000, HTSUS. It 

may also be imported as a blend or 

mixture under heading 3823.90.3900, 

HTSUS. The American Chemical 

Society, Chemical Abstract Service 

(‘‘CAS’’) has assigned the name 

‘‘Polyphosphoric Acid, Sodium Salt’’ to 

SHMP. The CAS registry number is 

68915–31–1. However, SHMP is 

commonly identified by CAS No. 

10124–56–8 in the market. For purposes 

of the investigation, the narrative 

description is dispositive, not the tariff 

heading, CAS registry number or CAS 

name. 

The product covered by this 

investigation includes SHMP in all 

grades, whether food grade or technical 

grade. The product covered by this 

investigation includes SHMP without 

regard to chain length i.e., whether 

regular or long chain. The product 

covered by this investigation includes 

SHMP without regard to physical form, 

whether glass, sheet, crushed, granule, 

powder, fines, or other form. 

However, the product covered by this 

investigation does not include SHMP 

when imported in a blend with other 

materials in which the SHMP accounts 

for less than 50 percent by volume of 

the finished product. 

Comments on Scope of Investigation 

During our review of the petition, we 

discussed the scope with Petitioners to 

ensure that it accurately reflects the 

product for which the domestic industry 

is seeking relief. Moreover, as discussed 

in the preamble to the Department’s 

regulations, we are setting aside a 

period for interested parties to raise 

issues regarding product coverage. See 

Antidumping Duties; Countervailing 

Duties; Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27323 

(May 19, 1997). The Department 

encourages all interested parties to 

submit such comments within 20 

calendar days of publication of this 

initiation notice. Comments should be 

addressed to Import Administration’s 

Central Records Unit in Room 1870, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 

Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20230. The period of 

scope consultations is intended to 

provide the Department with ample 

opportunity to consider all comments 

and consult with interested parties prior 

to the issuance of the preliminary 

determination. 

Determination of Industry Support for 

the Petition 

Section 732(b)(1) of the Act requires 

that a petition be filed by an interested 

party described in subparagraph (C), (D), 

(E), (F) or (G) of section 771(9) of the 

Act, by or on behalf of the domestic 

industry. In order to determine whether 

a petition has been filed by or on behalf 

of the domestic industry, the 

Department, pursuant to section 

732(c)(4)(A) of the Act, determines 

whether a minimum percentage of the 

relevant industry supports the petition. 

A petition meets this requirement if the 

domestic producers or workers who 

support the petition account for: (i) At 

least 25 percent of the total production 

of the domestic like product; and (ii) 

more than 50 percent of the production 

of the domestic like product produced 

by that portion of the industry 

expressing support for, or opposition to, 

the petition. Moreover, section 

732(c)(4)(D) of the Act provides that, if 

the petition does not establish support 

of domestic producers or workers 

accounting for more than 50 percent of 

the total production of the domestic like 

product, the Department shall: (i) Poll 

the industry or rely on other 

information in order to determine if 

there is support for the petition, as 

required by subparagraph (A), or (ii) if 

there is a large number of producers in 

the industry the Department may 

determine industry support using a 

statistically valid sampling method.
