Amendment to Final Results of Review

    In accordance with section 735(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended, (the Act), on March 6, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published its notice of final results of the administrative

(``OCTG''), other than drill pipe, from Korea for the period (``POR'') 
August 1, 2004 through July 31, 2005. See Oil Country Tubular Goods,

(March 6, 2007) and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum, dated 
February 27, 2007 (Final Results). On March 5, 2007, we extended the 
deadline to submit ministerial error allegations for SeAH Steel 
Corporation (SeAH) and United States Steel Corporation (Petitioner) to 
March 6, 2007. See Letter to Kaye Scholer, LLP from Thomas Gilgunn, 
Program Manager, Office of AD/CVD Operations VI, Import Administration, 
dated March 5, 2007; see also Letter to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & 
Flom, LLP from Thomas Gilgunn, Program Manager, Office of AD/CVD 
Operations VI, Import Administration, dated March 5, 2007. On March 6, 
2007, SeAH and Petitioner filed timely allegations that the Department 
made ministerial errors in the Final Results. On March 12, 2007, 
Petitioner filed a timely response to the ministerial error allegations 
submitted by SeAH.
    After analyzing parties' comments, we have determined, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we made the following 
ministerial errors in our calculations performed for the final results 
of review: (1) we incorrectly merged and matched SeAH's further 
manufacturing cost file with its U.S. sales database; (2) we 
incorrectly double-counted the general and administrative expenses 
incurred by SeAH's affiliate, Pusan Pipe America, Inc., in connection 
to the further manufacturing performed in the United States; (3) when 
conducting the cost test, we incorrectly compared the comparison market 
net price (CMNPRICOP) (inclusive of comparison market indirect selling 
expenses), to the average cost of production, (which excludes indirect 
selling expenses); and 4) we assigned incorrect values to U.S. inland 
freight from port to warehouse (INLFPWU) on SeAH's U.S. sales that were 
both further manufactured and sent directly from Korea to unaffiliated 
customers in the United States.
    For a detailed discussion of the ministerial errors listed above, 
as well as the Department's analysis, see Memorandum from Scott 
Lindsay, Senior Analyst, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6, to Thomas 
Gilgunn, Program Manager, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6, concerning Oil 
Country Tubular Goods, Other Than Drill Pipe, from Korea: Analysis of 
Ministerial Error Allegations for SeAH Steel Corporation, dated April 
5, 2007, a public version of which is on file in the Central Records 
Unit, Room B-099 of the main Commerce Building.
    Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending 
the final results of administrative review of OCTG from Korea for the 
period August 1, 2004 through July 31, 2005. As a result of correcting 
the ministerial errors discussed above, SeAH's weighted-average dumping 
margin changed from 4.73 percent to 0.77 percent. For the remaining 
respondents, the weighted-average dumping margin remains the same. See 
Final Results.

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated 
importer-specific assessment rates by dividing the dumping margin found 
on the subject merchandise examined by the entered value of such 
merchandise. Where the importer-specific assessment rate is above de 
minimis, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on that 
importer's entries of subject merchandise. The Department intends to 
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of 
publication of these final results of review.
    Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective 
upon publication of these amended final results of the administrative 
review for shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of 
these amended final results of administrative review, as provided by 
section 751(a) of the Act: (1) for subject merchandise exported by 
SeAH, the cash deposit rate will be 0.77 percent; (2) for Husteel 
Corporation, Ltd., the cash deposit rate will remain as established in 
the Final Results. These cash deposit requirements shall remain in 
effect until publication of the final results of the next 
administrative review.
    This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 
751(h) and 771(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 4, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
