The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act) are to the provisions

effective January 1, 1995, the effective

date of the amendments made to the Act

by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.

Background

On August 11, 1995, the Department

published in the Federal Register an

antidumping duty order on oil country

tubular goods, other than drill pipe,

(OCTG) from Korea (60 FR 41057). On

August 31, 2000, the Department

received a timely request from SeAH to

conduct an administrative review

pursuant to section 351.213(b)(2) of the

Department’s regulations. We published

a notice of initiation of this

antidumping duty administrative review

on OCTG on October 2, 2000 (65 FR

58733).

The Department subsequently

determined it was not practicable to

complete the review within the standard

time frame, and extended the deadline

for completion of the preliminary

results for this antidumping duty

administrative review. See Oil Country

Tubular Goods from Korea: Extension of

Time Limit for Preliminary Results of

Antidumping Administrative Review, 66

FR 23232 (May 8, 2001). On September

10, 2001, the Department published the

preliminary results of this

administrative review. See Oil Country

Tubular Goods From Korea: Preliminary

Results of Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review, 66 FR 46999

(September 10, 2001).

Extension of Time Limits for Final

Results

Due to the need to analyze comments

on inland freight expenses and indirect

selling expenses, it is not practicable to

complete the review within the initial

time limits mandated by section

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, we

are extending the due date for the final

results of this review until March 9,

2002.

Dated: December 13, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act), are references to the

provisions in effect as of January 1,

1995, the effective date of the

amendments made to the Act by the

Uruguay Round Agreements Act

(URAA). In addition, unless otherwise

indicated, all citations to the

Department’s regulations are to the

regulations as codified at 19 CFR part

351 (2001).

Background

On September 25, 2001, the

Department received a timely request

from Walsin that we conduct an

administrative review of its sales for the

period September 1, 2000 through

August 31, 2001. On October 23, 2001,

the Department initiated an

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on SSWR from

Taiwan for the period of review (POR),

September 1, 2000 through August 31,

2001, in order to determine whether

merchandise imported into the United

States is being sold at dumped prices.

On October 26, 2001, the Department

published in the Federal Register a

notice of initiation of this administrative

review on SSWR from Taiwan for the

POR. See Initiation of Antidumping and

Countervailing Duty Administrative

Reviews and Request for Revocation in

Part, 66 FR 54195 (October 26, 2001).

On November 21, 2001, Walsin

withdrew its request for a review.

Rescission of 2000–2001 Antidumping

Duty Administrative Review

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the

Department will rescind an

administrative review if a party that

requested the review withdraws the

request within 90 days of the date of

publication of the notice of initiation of

the requested review. Because Walsin

submitted its request for rescission

within the 90-day time limit and there

were no other requests for review from

an interested party, we are rescinding

this review. As such, we will issue

appropriate assessment instructions

directly to the U. S. Customs Service.

This notice 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(a)(3). Timely

written notification of the return or

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 notice is in accordance with

section 751 of the Act and section 19

CFR 351.213(d)(4) of the Department’s

regulations.

Dated: December 17, 2001.
