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 India of 
certain oil country tubular goods, and that imports of such products 
from India, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, 
Ukraine, and Vietnam 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 on July 
2, 2013, by United States Steel Corporation, Pittsburgh, PA; Maverick 
Tube Corporation, Houston, TX; Boomerang Tube LLC, Chesterfield, MO; 
Energex, a division of JMC Steel Group, Chicago, IL; Northwest Pipe 
Company, Vancouver, WA; Tejas Tubular Products Inc., Houston, TX; TMK 
IPSCO, Houston, TX; Vallourec Star, L.P., Houston, TX; and Welded Tube 
USA, Inc.; Lackawanna, NY.
    Although the Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined 
that imports of certain oil country tubular goods from Korea are not 
being and are not likely to be sold in the United States at less than 
fair value, for purposes of efficiency the Commission hereby waives 
rule 207.21(b) \4\ so that the final phase of that investigation may 
proceed concurrently in the event that Commerce makes a final 
affirmative determination with respect to such imports. Furthermore, 
while the Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that 
countervailable subsidies are not being provided to producers and 
exporters of certain oil country tubular goods from the Government of 
Turkey, for purposes of efficiency the Commission hereby waives rule 
207.21(b) \5\ so that the final phase of that investigation may proceed 
concurrently in the event that Commerce makes a final affirmative 
determination with respect to such imports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Section 207.21(b) of the Commission's rules provides that, 
where the Department of Commerce has issued a negative preliminary 
determination, the Commission will publish a Final Phase Notice of 
Scheduling upon receipt of an affirmative final determination from 
Commerce.
    \5\ Section 207.21(b) of the Commission's rules provides that, 
where the Department of Commerce has issued a negative preliminary 
determination, the Commission will publish a Final Phase Notice of 
Scheduling upon receipt of an affirmative final determination from 
Commerce.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
