Germany, and Italy and the countervailing duty order and antidumping 
duty orders on oil country tubular goods from Argentina, Italy, Japan, 
Korea, and Mexico would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence 
of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. The Commission 
is considering conducting the five-year reviews for seamless pipe from 
Argentina, Brazil, Germany, and Italy in conjunction with the five-year 
reviews for oil country tubular goods from Argentina, Italy, Japan, 
Korea, and Mexico due to similarities in the two sets of five-year 
reviews. A schedule for the reviews will be established and announced 
at a later date. For further information concerning the conduct of 
these reviews and rules of general application, consult the 
Commission's rules of practice and procedure, part 201, subparts A 
through E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 
CFR part 207).

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 5, 2000.
