Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 85 / Thursday, May 3, 2007 / Notices 24563 

The preliminary results for this 

administrative review are currently due 

no later than May 3, 2007. 

Extension of Time Limits for 

Preliminary Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to complete the 

preliminary results of an administrative 

review within 245 days after the last day 

of the anniversary month of an order for 

which a review is requested. However, 

if it is not practicable to complete the 

review within these time periods, 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows 

the Department to extend the 245 day 

time period for the preliminary results 

to 365 days. 

The Department has determined it is 

not practicable to complete this review 

within the statutory time limit because 

additional time is required to determine 

whether it will be necessary to request 

sales and/or cost information from 

TAMSA as part of the Department’s 

review of sales by Hylsa during the 

POR. Accordingly, the Department is 

extending the time limits for completion 

of the preliminary results of this 

administrative review until no later than 

August 31, 2007, which is 365 days 

from the last day of the anniversary 

month of this order. We intend to issue 

the final results in this review no later 

than 120 days after publication of the 

preliminary results notice. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 

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

Dated: April 27, 2007.

Oil Country Tubular Goods from 

Mexico; Final Results of the Sunset 

Review of Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On June 1, 2006, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) initiated a sunset review 

of the antidumping duty order on oil 

country tubular goods (‘‘OCTG’’) from 

Mexico. On the basis of the notice of 

intent to participate, adequate 

substantive responses, and rebuttal 

comments filed on behalf of the 

petitioners and respondent interested 

parties, the Department conducted a full 

sunset review of the antidumping duty 

order pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(2)(i). As a 

result of this sunset review, the 

Department finds that revocation of the 

antidumping duty order would likely 

lead to the continuation or recurrence of 

dumping at the levels listed below in 

the section entitled ‘‘Final Results of 

Review.’’ 

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 3, 2007

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 1, 2006, the Department 

published its notice of initiation of the 

sunset review of the antidumping duty 

order on OCTG from Mexico, in 

accordance with section 751(c) of the 

Act. See Initiation of Five-year 

(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 71 FR 31153 (June 

1, 2006) (‘‘Notice of Initiation’’). 

The Department received notices of 

intent to participate on behalf of United 

States Steel Corporation and IPSCO 

Tubulars Inc., Lone Star Steel Company, 

Koppel Steel (NS Group), Maverick 

Tube Corporation, Newport Steel (NS 

Group) and V&M Star LP (collectively 

‘‘petitioners’’), within the 15-day 

deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(i). Petitioners claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act, as manufacturers of 

a domestic–like product in the United 

States. 

The Department received complete 

substantive responses to the notice of 

initiation from the interested parties 

Hylsa S.A. de CV (‘‘Hylsa’’) and Tubos 

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

(collectively ‘‘respondent interested 

parties’’) within the 30-day deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). 

The Department received rebuttal 

responses from petitioners to the 

substantive responses from the 

respondent interested parties on July 5, 

2006, and July 14, 2006, respectively. 

Section 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(A) 

provides that the Secretary normally 

will conclude that respondent interested 

parties have provided adequate 

response to a notice of initiation where 

the Department receives complete 

substantive responses from respondent 

interested parties accounting on average 

for more than 50 percent, by volume, or 

value, if appropriate, of the total exports 

of the subject merchandise to the United 

States over the five calendar years 

preceding the year of publication of the 

notice of initiation. On July 21, 2006, 

the Department found that respondent 

interested parties accounted for more 

than 50 percent of exports by volume of 

the subject merchandise from Mexico to 

the United States. See Memorandum to 

Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant 

Secretary for Import Administration, 

from John K. Drury entitled, ‘‘Adequacy 

Determination: Sunset Review of the 

Antidumping Duty Order on Oil 

Country Tubular Goods from Mexico,’’ 

(July 21, 2006). In accordance with 19 

CFR 351.218(e)(2)(i), the Department 

determined to conduct a full sunset 

review of this antidumping duty order. 

On September 25, 2006, in accordance 

with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act, the 

Department extended the deadlines for 

the preliminary and final results of this 

sunset review by 90 days. See Oil 

Country Tubular Goods from Mexico; 

Extension of Time Limits for 

Preliminary and Final Results of Full 

Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review of 

Antidumping Duty Order, 71 FR 55774. 

The Department published the 

preliminary results of this sunset review 

on December 26, 2006. See Oil Country 

Tubular Goods from Mexico; 

Preliminary Results of the Sunset 

Review of Antidumping Duty Order, 71 

FR 77372 (December 26, 2006). In the 

Preliminary Results, the Department 

found that revocation of the order 

would likely result in continuation or 

recurrence of dumping with net margins 

of 21.70 percent for TAMSA and ‘‘all 

others,’’ and 0.62 percent for Hylsa. 

On February 14, 2007, within the 

deadline specified in 19 CFR §

351.309(c)(1)(i), the Department 

received case briefs on behalf of both 

TAMSA and Hylsa. On February 20, 

2007, the Department rejected the case 

brief on behalf of Hylsa under 19 CFR 

§ 351.302(d), as the Department 

determined that the brief contained new 

factual information submitted 

subsequent to the deadline for new 

factual information as proscribed in 19 

CFR § 351.301(b)(3). The Department 

requested that Hylsa re–file the case 

brief no later than February 22, 2007, 

and extended the deadline for rebuttal 

briefs to February 28, 2007. On February 

20, 2007, the Department received a 

rebuttal brief on behalf of petitioner 

IPSCO. On February 22, 2007, the 

Department received the corrected case 

brief on behalf of Hylsa. On February 

28, the Department received rebuttal 

briefs on behalf of petitioner U.S. Steel.

determined that couplings, and 

coupling stock, are not within the scope 

of the antidumping order on OCTG from 

Mexico. See Letter to Interested Parties; 

Final Affirmative Scope Decision, 

August 27, 1998. The HTSUS
