SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 10, 2024, Commerce 

published the countervailing duty 

(CVD) order on OCTG from India.1 On 

November 15, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation of an administrative 

review of the Order.2 On May 31, 2024, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results until September 27, 

2024.3 On July 22, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this CVD 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (The Act). For 

each of the subsidy programs found 

countervailable, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by 

an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a 

benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.6 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our preliminary conclusions, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.

preliminarily determine the following 

net countervailable subsidy rate for the 

period January 1, 2022, through

received successfully in its entirety in 

ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 

the established deadline. 

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this review, we 

instead request that parties provide at 

the beginning of their briefs a public, 

executive summary for each issue raised 

in their briefs.9 Further, we request that 

interested parties limit their public 

executive summary of each issue to no 

more than 450 words, not including 

citations. We intend to use the public 

executive summaries as the basis of the 

comment summaries included in the 

issues and decision memorandum that 

will accompany the final determination 

in this investigation. We request that 

interested parties include footnotes for 

relevant citations in the public 

executive summary of each issue. Note 

that Commerce has amended certain of 

its requirements pertaining to the 

service of documents in 19 CFR 

351.303(f).10

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain: (1) the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants and whether any 

participant is a foreign national; and (3) 

a list of issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold the hearing at a time and 

date to be determined. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date of the hearing. 

Assessment Rates 

Consistent with section 751(a)(1) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), upon 

issuance of the final results, Commerce 

will determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review. We 

intend to issue instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injection has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also 

intends, upon publication of the final 

results, to instruct CBP to collect cash 

deposits of estimated countervailing 

duties in the amount shown for the 

company listed above with regard to 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review. For all non-reviewed firms, CBP 

will continue to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties at the 

all-others rate or the most recent 

company-specific rate applicable to the 

company, as appropriate. These cash 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Final Results 

Unless the deadline is extended 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

the issues raised by parties in their 

comments, within 120 days after the 

date of publication of these preliminary 

results. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

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

Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
