UNITED STATES – ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES ON CERTAIN OIL
COUNTRY TUBULAR GOODS FROM KOREA
STATUS REPORT REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
DSB RECOMMENDATIONS AND RULINGS
BY THE UNITED STATES
Addendum
The following communication, dated 11 July 2019, from the delegation of the United States to the
Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article 21.6 of the DSU.

The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on Rules
and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ("DSU").
On 12 January 2018, the Dispute Settlement Body ( "DSB") adopted its recommendations in
United States – Anti-Dumping Measures on Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from Korea
(WT/DS488). At the DSB meeting held on 9 February 2018, the United States informed the DSB of
its intention to implement the recommendations of the DSB in connection with this matter.
On 26 February 2018, the United States and Korea informed the DSB that they had agreed that the
reasonable period of time to implement the DSB 's recommen dations and rulings would be
12 months, expiring on 12 January 2019. On 11 January 2019, the Un ited States and Korea
informed the DSB that they had mutually agreed to modify the reasonable period of time. The
reasonable period of time now expires on 12 July 2019.
On 23 November 2018, the U.S. Department of Commerce published a notice in the Federal Register
indicating that it "is commencing a proceeding to gather information, analyze record evidence, and
consider the determination which would be necessary to bring its measures into conformity with the
recommendations and rulings of the Dispute Settlement Body."1 In the notice, the U.S. Department
of Commerce invited interested parties wishing to participate in this proceeding to file letters of
appearance and submit applications for disclosure of business proprietary information.
On 24 May 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce published a decision memorandum in which it
preliminarily determined that it was appropriate to clarify the scope of the antidumping duty order
on certain oil country tubular goods from the Republic of Korea. The U.S. Department of Commerce
also preliminarily determined that it was unable to use respondents' actual data to determine profit
for constructed value, resorted to a reasonable method to determine the appropriate data to
calculate this profit, and calculated and applied a profit cap based on "facts available."

1 Notice of Commencement of a Compliance Proceeding Pursuant to Section 129 of the Uruguay Round
Agreements Act, 83 Fed. Reg. 59,359 (Nov. 23, 2018).

On 5 July 2019, following receipt of comments and rebuttal comments from interested parties, the
U.S. Department of Commerce published a final decision memorandum revising certain aspects of
the final determination in the antidumping duty proceeding examined in United States – Anti-
Dumping Measures on Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from Korea (WT/DS488). In the
memorandum, the U.S. Department of Commerce determined to make no changes to its preliminary
decision memorandum. Accordingly, the United States has implemented the DSB's recommendations
in this dispute.
