SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background. The final phase of these 

investigations is being scheduled as a 

result of affirmative preliminary 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce that certain benefits which 

constitute subsidies within the meaning 

of section 703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b) are being provided to 

manufacturers, producers, or exporters 

in China of drill pipe and drill collars, 

and that such products are being sold in 

the United States at less than fair value 

within the meaning of section 733 of the 

Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b). The 

investigations were requested in a 

petition filed effective December 31, 

2009, by VAM Drilling USA Inc., 

Houston, TX; Rotary Drilling Tools, 

Beasley, TX; Texas Steel Conversions, 

Inc., Houston, TX; TMK IPSCO, 

Downers Grove, IL; and the United

Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 

Industrial and Service Workers 

International Union, AFL–CIO–CLC, 

Pittsburgh, PA.

investigations as parties must file an 

entry of appearance with the Secretary 

to the Commission, as provided in 

section 201.11 of the Commission’s
