SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 30, 1996, and May 22, 1996, the Department received 
requests in accordance with 19 CFR 353.22 (h) (1995), for new shipper 
reviews of the antidumping duty order on certain welded carbon steel 
standard pipes and tubes from India, which has a May anniversary date, 
with respect to two producers/exporters.
    The Department has also received a timely request on May 24, 1996, 
in accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(a), for an administrative review of 
this antidumping duty order with respect to the same two producers/
exporters.

Initiation of Review

    In accordance with section 19 CFR 353.22(c), and 353.22(h), we are 
initiating an administrative review of the following antidumping duty 
order and producers/exporters:

    Because the requirements for initiation of a new shipper review 
have been met with respect to both producers/exporters, we intend to 
conduct the review as a new shippers review. Accordingly, we will issue 
the preliminary results of these reviews not later than 180 days from 
the date of publication of this notice and the final results within 90 
days after issuance of the preliminary results, unless these time 
limits are extended in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). We also will instruct the 
U.S. Customs Service to allow, at the option of the importer, the 
posting, until the completion of these reviews, of a bond or security 
in lieu of a cash deposit for each entry of the merchandise exported by 
the above-listed companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 353.22 (h)(4) 
(1995).
    Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34 (b).
    These initiations and this notice are in accordance with section 
751 (a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)) and 19 CFR 353.22(c) and 
353.22(h).
