SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 21, 2001, the Department 

published the final results of the 

antidumping duty administrative review 

on oil country tubular goods (‘‘OCTG’’) 

for the period August 1, 1998 to July 31, 

1999. See Oil Country Tubular Goods 

from Mexico: Final Results of 

Antidumping Review and Determination 

Not To Revoke in Part, 66 FR 15832 

(‘‘Final Results’’) and accompanying 

Issues and Decision Memorandum 

(‘‘Decision Memo’’). The Department 

reviewed sales to the United States by 

Hylsa S.A. de C.V. (‘‘Hylsa’’) and Tubos 

de Aceros de Mexico, S.A. (‘‘TAMSA’’), 

both Mexican producers of OCTG. In the 

fourth administrative review, both 

TAMSA and Hylsa requested revocation 

from the order in accordance with 19 

CFR § 351.222(e)(1). The Department 

declined to revoke the order in part with 

respect to TAMSA, as it determined that 

TAMSA ‘‘did not sell the subject 

merchandise in the United States in 

commercial quantities in each of the 

three years cited by TAMSA to support 

its request for revocation.’’ See Decision 

Memo at page 10. The Department 

declined to revoke the order in part with 

respect to Hylsa due to the finding of a 

dumping margin in the Final Results. Id. 

at 23. 

Subsequent to the completion of the 

fourth administrative review, both Hylsa 

and TAMSA challenged the 

Department’s findings and requested 

that a Bi–National Panel review the final 

determination. A public hearing was 

held on July 20, 2005, in Washington, 

D.C., at which oral arguments were 

presented by the parties. The Panel 

issued a Decision of the Panel on 

January 27, 2006, upholding the 

Department’s determinations with 

respect to TAMSA, but remanding the 

review to the Department with respect 

to Hylsa (i.e., to recalculate Hylsa’s 

packing cost and cost of production 

(‘‘COP’’) on a product–specific basis). 

See In the Matter of: Oil Country 

Tubular Goods from Mexico; Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review and 

Determination Not to Revoke, USA–

MEX–01–1904–05 (January 27, 2006) 

(‘‘First Decision’’). 

In accordance with the First Decision, 

the Department filed its remand results 

on April 27, 2006. Based on the 

instructions of the Panel, the 

Department recalculated Hylsa’s 

packing and cost of production by 

product costs and calculated a new 

antidumping duty margin of zero for 

Hylsa. The Department then conducted 

a revocation analysis, but found that 

Hylsa did not ship in commercial 

quantities to the U.S. market during the 

time period under consideration and 

found that dumping by Hylsa in the 

ninth administrative review was 

relevant to the determination of whether 

the antidumping duty order was 

otherwise necessary to offset dumping. 

Based on these factors, the Department 

declined to revoke the order. See 

Redetermination on Remand, Oil 

Country Tubular Goods from Mexico: 

Fourth Administrative Review, April 27, 

2006. 

On August 11, 2006, the Panel again 

remanded the decision to the 

Department for further consideration. 

See In the Matter of: Oil Country 

Tubular Goods from Mexico; Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review and 

Determination Not to Revoke, USA–

MEX–01–1904–05 (August 11, 2006) 

(‘‘Second Decision’’). The Panel rejected 

the Department’s reliance on the results 

of the ninth administrative review and 

also directed the Department to 

reexamine its revocation analysis ‘‘in 

light of the issues raised by the Panel.’’

Id. at 21. In accordance with the Second 

Decision, the Department reexamined 

Hylsa’s request for revocation under 19 

CFR § 351.222(e)(1) and determined that 

Hylsa had not made sales in commercial 

quantities for the three review periods 

under analysis. See Redetermination on 

Remand, Oil Country Tubular Goods 

from Mexico: Fourth Administrative 

Review, October 5, 2006 at 13–16. 

On January 16, 2007, the Panel 

affirmed the Department’s second 

remand redetermination. See In the 

Matter of: Oil Country Tubular Goods 

from Mexico; Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review and Determination Not to 

Revoke, USA–MEX–01–1904–05 

(January 16, 2007). The Panel issued its 

Notice of Final Panel Action on 

February 2, 2007. On March 14, 2007, 

the NAFTA Secretariat published a 

notice of completion of the panel 

review. See North American Free–Trade 

Agreement, Article 1904 NAFTA Panel 

Reviews; Notice of Completion of Panel 

Review, 72 FR 11847 (March 14, 2007). 

The Department also published a notice 

of the NAFTA decision not in harmony 

with the final results of the fourth 

administrative review. See Oil Country 

Tubular Goods from Mexico: Notice of 

NAFTA Panel Decision Not In Harmony 

With Final Results of Administrative 

Review, 72 FR 12761 (March 19, 2007). 

Amendment to Final Results 

We are now amending the final 

results of this administrative review to 

reflect the final decision of the Panel. 

The changes to our calculations with 

respect to Hylsa resulted in a change in 

the weighted–average margin from 0.79 

percent to zero percent for the period of 

review. The Department will instruct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection to 

liquidate entries of OCTG from Mexico 

produced by TAMSA and Hylsa at the 

assessment rates the Department 

calculated for these amended final 

results of review. 

Assessment 

The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection 41 days after the 

date of publication of this decision. See 

section 356.8(a) of the Department’s 

regulations. 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

parties subject to administrative 

protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR § 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

sanctionable violation. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended. 

Dated: April 2, 2007.
