Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 26, 2001 / Notices 33949

to the Department’s regulations are to 19

CFR Part 351 (1999).

Background

On March 8, 2001, the Department

published in the Federal Register (66

FR 13893) the Preliminary Results of

this review. We invited parties to

comment on our Preliminary Results.

We received notification on March 19,

2001, from Atlas, the only respondent in

this segment of the proceeding, that it

did not intend to submit either case or

rebuttal briefs. In addition, we did not

receive any comments from any other

party.

In the Preliminary Results, we found

the dumping margin for Atlas to be 6.56

percent. We have now completed the

administrative review in accordance

with section 751 of the Act and find the

rate to be 6.66 percent, due to the fact

that Atlas had filed revised home

market sales, U.S. sales, and cost of

production databases on February 9,

2001, which the Department

inadvertently failed to use in calculating

its preliminary results of review.

Scope of the Review

The products covered by this review

include shipments of OCTG from

Canada. This includes American

Petroleum Institute (API) specification

OCTG and all other pipe with the

following characteristics except entries

which the Department determined

through its end-use certification

procedure were not used in OCTG

applications: Length of at least 16 feet;

outside diameter of standard sizes

published in the API or proprietary

specifications for OCTG with tolerances

of plus 1⁄8 inch for diameters less than

or equal to 85⁄8 inches and plus 1⁄4 inch

for diameters greater than 85⁄8 inches,

minimum wall thickness as identified

for a given outer diameter as published

in the API or proprietary specifications

for OCTG; a minimum of 40,000 PSI

yield strength and a minimum 60,000

PSI tensile strength; and if with seams,

must be electric resistance welded.

Furthermore, imports covered by this

review include OCTG with nonstandard size wall thickness greater than

the minimum identified for a given

outer diameter as published in the API

or proprietary specifications for OCTG,

with surface scabs or slivers, irregularly

cut ends, ID or OD weld flash, or open

seams; OCTG may be bent, flattened or

oval, and may lack certification because

the pipe has not been mechanically

tested or has failed those tests. This

merchandise is currently classifiable

under the Harmonized Tariff Schedules

(HTS) item numbers 7304.20, 7305.20,

and 7306.20. The HTS item numbers are

provided for convenience and U.S.

Customs purposes. The written

description remains dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

We did not receive any interested

party comments on our Preliminary

Results. Therefore, there is no Issues

and Decision Memorandum for the final

results of review.

Final Results of Review

We have determined that the only

change to our analysis for purposes of

these final results are the use of the

revised home market sales, U.S. sales,

and cost of production databases filed

by Atlas on February 9, 2001. As a result

of this review, we determine that a 6.66

percent dumping margin exists for Atlas

for the period June 1, 1999, through

December 31, 1999.

Assessment

The Department shall determine, and

Customs shall assess, antidumping

duties on all appropriate entries. We

have calculated an importer-specific

duty assessment rate based on the ratio

of the total amount of antidumping

duties calculated for the importerspecific sales to the total entered value

of the same sales. Atlas reported entered

value by subtracting discounts, freight,

brokerage and handling costs from the

reported U.S. price. Since the importerspecific rate is above de minimis, we

will instruct Customs to assess duties on

the importer’s entries of subject

merchandise. The Department will issue

appraisement instructions directly to

Customs.

Pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the

Act, on August 22, 2000, the

Department revoked the antidumping

duty order on OCTG from Canada,

effective January 1, 2000 (65 FR 50954).

Therefore, we instructed Customs to

liquidate all entries of subject

merchandise made on or after January 1,

2000, without regard to antidumping

duties. As a result of this revocation, we

will not issue cash deposit instructions

to Customs based on the results of this

review.

Notification

This notice serves as a final 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 doubled antidumping

duties.

This notice also serves as a reminder

to parties subject to administrative

protective order (APO) of their

responsibility concerning the

disposition of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely

notification of return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and the terms of an APO is a

sanctionable violation.

This administrative review and notice

are in accordance with sections

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1).

Dated: June 18, 2001.

Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.
