SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 21, 2022, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on oil country 

tubular goods (OCTG) from Argentina.1

On November 2, 2023, we published in 

the Federal Register a notice of 

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the Order for the POR.2 On 

December 29, 2023, based on timely 

requests for an administrative review, 

Commerce initiated an administrative 

review of the Order.3 On January 25, 

2024, Commerce identified Siderca as 

the sole mandatory respondent in this 

administrative review.4 On July 9, 2024, 

Commerce extended the time limit for 

these preliminary results to November 

29, 2024.5 On July 22, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven 

days.6 The deadline for the preliminary 

results is now December 6, 2024. 

For a complete description of the 

events that occurred since the initiation 

of this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.7

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the Order 

are OCTG from Argentina. For a 

complete description of the scope of this 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) 

and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). We calculated 

constructed export price and NV in 

accordance with sections 772 and 773 of 

the Act, respectively. For a complete 

description of the methodology in these 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached in the 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is made available to the 

public via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

issues raised in written briefs, no later 

than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(1). 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the final results 

of this administrative review, pursuant 

to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise covered by this review.15 If 

Siderca’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., 

less than 0.50 percent) in the final 

results of this review, we intend to 

calculate an importer-specific 

assessment rate for antidumping duties 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for each importer’s 

examined sales and the total entered 

value of those same sales in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).16 If Siderca’s 

weighted-average dumping margin or an 

importer-specific assessment rate is zero 

or de minimis in the final results of this 

review, we intend to instruct CBP to 

liquidate relevant entries without 

regards to antidumping duties. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Siderca for 

which it did not know that the 

merchandise was destined to the United 

States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.17

The final results of this administrative 

review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable.18 Commerce intends to issue 

assessment 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 injunction has expired, i.e., 

within 90 days of publication. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the notice of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided in section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for Siderca will be equal to 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review, except, if that 

rate is less than 0.50 percent and, 

therefore, de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), then 

the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

merchandise exported by a company not 

covered in this review but covered in a 

prior completed segment of this 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published in the completed segment for 

the most recent period; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the 

investigation but the producer is, then 

the cash deposit rate will be the 

company-specific rate established in the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 78.30 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the original 

less-than-fair-value investigation.19

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

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 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

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 351.213(d)(1), (3), and 

(h)(2), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: December 3, 2024. 

Abdelali Elouaradia, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance.
