review, 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 in this or any previous 

proceeding conducted by the 

Department, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the ‘‘all others’’ rate 

established in the LTFV investigation, 

which is 21.01 percent. See 

Antidumping Duty Order. These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Duty Assessment 

Upon publication of the final results 

of this review, the Department shall 

determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), the Department calculates 

an assessment rate for each importer of 

the subject merchandise for each 

respondent. In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), we will calculate 

importer–specific ad valorem 

assessment rates on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of antidumping 

duties calculated for the examined sales 

and the total entered value of the 

examined sales. These rates will be 

assessed uniformly on all entries of the 

respective importers made during the 

POR if these preliminary results are 

adopted in the final results of review. 

The Department intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions 

directly to CBP 15 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review. 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment 

Policy Notice). This clarification will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the period of review produced by 

companies included in the final results 

of review for which the reviewed 

companies did not know that the 

merchandise it sold to the intermediary 

(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or 

exporter) 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 intermediary involved in 

the transaction. See Assessment Policy 

Notice for a full discussion of this 

clarification. 

Public Comment 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(b), the 

Department will disclose to any party to 

the proceeding the calculations 

performed in connection with these 

preliminary results within five days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309, 

interested parties may submit written 

comments in response to these 

preliminary results. Unless extended by 

the Department, case briefs are to be 

submitted within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to arguments raised in 

case briefs, may be submitted no later 

than five days after the time limit for 

filing case briefs. Parties who submit 

arguments in this proceeding are 

requested to submit with the argument: 

1) a statement of the issues; 2) a brief 

summary of the argument; and 3) a table 

of authorities. Case and rebuttal briefs 

must be served on interested parties in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f). 

Also, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

within 30 days of the date of publication 

of this notice, interested parties may 

request a public hearing on arguments 

to be raised in the case and rebuttal 

briefs. Unless the Secretary specifies 

otherwise, the hearing, if requested, will 

be held two days after the date for 

submission of rebuttal briefs. Parties 

will be notified of the time and location. 

The Department will publish the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

issues raised in any case brief, rebuttal 

brief, or hearing no later than 120 days 

after publication of these preliminary 

results, unless extended. See 19 CFR 

351.213(h). 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

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 double antidumping duties. 

The preliminary results of this 

administrative review and this notice 

are issued and published in accordance 

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

the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 31, 2006, the Department 

of Commerce (the Department) received 

timely requests for an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on oil country tubular goods, other than 

drill pipe (OCTG) from Korea, with 

respect to SeAH Steel Corporation, 

Husteel Co., Ltd, and Nexteel Co., Ltd. 

On September 29, 2006, the Department 

published a notice of initiation of this 

administrative review for the period of 

August 1, 2005 through July 31, 2006. 

See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 

2006). 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

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

the Department shall issue preliminary 

results in an administrative review of an 

antidumping duty order within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of the date of publication of the 

order. The Act further provides, 

however, that the Department may 

extend that 245-day period to 365 days 

if it is not practicable to complete the 

review within the foregoing time period. 

The Department finds that it is not 

practicable to complete the preliminary 

results by the current deadline of May 

3, 2007 because this is Nexteel Co., 

Ltd.’s first appearance under this 

antidumping duty order and additional 

time is needed to analyze this 

company’s information. We have also 

requested additional information from 

the respondents and we will need more

time to analyze the responses and issue 

any supplemental questionnaires, if 

necessary. Therefore, in accordance 

with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 

Department is extending the time limit 

for the preliminary results until no later 

than August 31, 2007, which is 365 days 

after the last day of the anniversary 

month of the date of publication of the 

order. Unless extended, the final results 

continue to be due 120 days after the 

publication of the preliminary results, 

pursuant to section 351.213(h) of the 

Department’s regulations. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance to sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: April 30, 2007.

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Commerce, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burden, invites the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

take this opportunity to comment on 

proposed and/or continuing information 

collections, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted on or before July 6, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments 

to Diana Hynek, Departmental 

Paperwork Clearance Officer, 

Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 

14th and Constitution Avenue, NW, 

Washington, DC 20230 (or via the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Treaty on Fisheries Between the 

Governments of Certain Pacific Island 

States and the Government of the 

United States, signed in Port Moresby, 

Papua New Guinea, in 1987, and its 

annexes, schedules and implementing 

agreements, as amended (Treaty), 

authorize U.S. tuna vessels to fish 

within fishing zones of a large region of 

the Pacific Ocean. The South Pacific 

Tuna Act (16 U.S.C. 973g and 973f) and 

U.S. implementing regulations (50 CFR 

282.3 and 282.5) authorize the 

collection of information from 

participants in the Treaty fishery. Vessel 

operators who wish to participate in the 

Treaty fishery must submit annual 

license and registration applications and 

periodic written reports of catch and 

unloading of fish from a licensed vessel. 

The information collected is submitted 

to the Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) 

through the U.S. government (National 

Marine Fisheries Service). The license 

and registration application information 

is used by FFA to determine the 

operational capability and financial 

responsibility of a vessel operator 

interested in participating in the Treaty 

fishery. Information obtained from 

vessel catch and unloading reports is 

used by FFA to assess fishing effort and 

fishery resources in the region and to 

track the amount of fish caught within 

each Pacific island state’s exclusive 

economic zone for fair disbursement of 

Treaty monies. If the information is not 

collected, the U.S. government will not 

meet its obligations under the Treaty, 

and the lack of fishing information will 

result in poor management of the fishery 

resources. 

II. Method of Collection 

All forms are to be submitted in hard 

copy, via mail. 

III. Data 

OMB Number: 0648–0218. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

22. 

Estimated Time per Response: License 

application, 15 minutes; 45 minutes for 

a registration application, 45 minutes; 

catch report, 1 hour; and unloading log 

sheet, 30 minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 242. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $36,000. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.
