Vol. 60 No. 155 Friday, August 11, 1995 p 41057 (Notice) [A-475-816] Antidumping Duty Order: Oil Country Tubular Goods from Italy AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. EFFECTIVE DATE: August 11, 1995. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Crow or Brian Smith, Office of Antidumping Duty Investigations, Import Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. 20230; telephone (202) 482-0116 or (202) 482-1766, respectively. Scope of Order In its final determination, the Department determined that oil country tubular goods (OCTG) comprised one class or kind of merchandise. In its final determination, the International Trade Commission (ITC) found two like products: (1) Drill pipe and (2) OCTG other than drill pipe (i.e., casing and tubing). The ITC did not find material injury, or threat of material injury with regard to drill pipe. Consequently, the antidumping duty order covers only OCTG other than drill pipe. The merchandise covered by this order are OCTG, hollow steel products of circular cross-section, including only oil well casing and tubing pipe, of iron (other than cast iron) or steel (both carbon and alloy), whether seamless or welded, whether or not conforming to American Petroleum Institute (API) or non- API specifications, whether finished or unfinished (including green tubes and limited service OCTG products). This scope does not cover casing or tubing pipe containing 10.5 percent or more of chromium, or drill pipe. The OCTG subject to this order are currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under item numbers: 7304.20.10.10, 7304.20.10.20, 7304.20.10.30, 7304.20.10.40, 7304.20.10.50, 7304.20.10.60, 7304.20.10.80, 7304.20.20.10, 7304.20.20.20, 7304.20.20.30, 7304.20.20.40, 7304.20.20.50, 7304.20.20.60, 7304.20.20.80, 7304.20.30.10, 7304.20.30.20, 7304.20.30.30, 7304.20.30.40, 7304.20.30.50, 7304.20.30.60, 7304.20.30.80, 7304.20.40.10, 7304.20.40.20, 7304.20.40.30, 7304.20.40.40, 7304.20.40.50, 7304.20.40.60, 7304.20.40.80, 7304.20.50.15, 7304.20.50.30, 7304.20.50.45, 7304.20.50.60, 7304.20.50.75, 7304.20.60.15, 7304.20.60.30, 7304.20.60.45, 7304.20.60.60, 7304.20.60.75, 7305.20.20.00, 7305.20.40.00, 7305.20.60.00, 7305.20.80.00, 7306.20.10.30, 7306.20.10.90, 7306.20.20.00, 7306.20.30.00, 7306.20.40.00, 7306.20.60.10, 7306.20.60.50, 7306.20.80.10, and 7306.20.80.50. Drill pipe is classifiable under HTSUS item numbers 7304.20.70.00, 7304.20.80.30, 7304.20.80.45, and 7304.20.80.60. However, pursuant to the ITC's negative determination regarding drill pipe, we have deleted these numbers from the scope of this order. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive. Applicable Statute and Regulations Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute and to the Department's regulations are in reference to the provisions as they existed on December 31, 1994. Antidumping Duty Order On August 2, 1995, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) notified the Department that imports of drill pipe from Italy do not cause or threaten material injury to a U.S. industry. Therefore, the scope of this order does not include drill pipe. However, the ITC did find that imports of OCTG other than drill pipe from Italy materially injure a U.S. industry. Therefore, in accordance with section 736 of the Act, the Department will direct U.S. Customs officers to assess, upon further advice by the administering authority pursuant to section 736(a)(1) of the Act, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the foreign market value of the merchandise exceeds the United States price for all entries of OCTG other than drill pipe from Italy. These antidumping duties will be assessed on all unliquidated entries of OCTG other than drill pipe from Italy entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after February 2, 1995, the date on which the Department published its preliminary determination notice in the Federal Register (60 FR 6515). The Department will also direct U.S. Customs officers to terminate the suspension of liquidation of entries of drill pipe from Italy entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after February 2, 1995, and to release any bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit, posted to secure the payment of estimated antidumping duties with respect to these entries. On or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, U.S. Customs officers must require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties, the following cash deposits for the subject merchandise: Weighted- Manufacturer/producer/exporter average margin percentage Dalmine S.p.A . 49.78 Acciaierie Tubificio Arvedi S.p.A. 49.78 General Sider Europa S.p.A. 49.78 All Others 49.78 This notice constitutes the antidumping duty order with respect to OCTG other than drill pipe from Italy, pursuant to section 736(a) of the Act. Interested parties may contact the Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the Main Commerce Building, for copies of an updated list of antidumping duty orders currently in effect. This order is published in accordance with section 736(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 353.21. Dated: August 4, 1995. Susan G. Esserman, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
