presented demonstrating that TKS
provided false information regarding its
sales to the Dallas Morning News
(DMN), the subject of the Department’s
1997–1998 review. Specifically,
The jury further heard evidence at
trial that TKS agreed to a fraudulent
price increase and secret $2.2
million rebate to keep the DMN
from purchasing the two towers
{the sale under the 97–98
administrative review} from Goss in
1996. To make it appear to Goss
that the 1996 sale was not dumped,
TKS and the DMN agreed to
increase the price on paper to $7.4
million. In exchange, TKS and the
DMN agreed that TKS would
secretly rebate $2.2 million to the
DMN through a combination of $1
million in cash and a promise of
$1.2 million in free digital ink
pumps or credit to be delivered in
the future.
TKS and its counsel engaged in a
concerted effort to conceal the
secret rebates * * *. {TKS’s
counsel} told TKS that ’there
should be no apparent linkage
between {the digital ink pumps’}
give–away and the towers’ price,’
and urged TKS (USA) to falsify its
business records. * * * There was
also evidence presented at trial that
TKS and its counsel attempted to
destroy documents to conceal the
secret rebates. See Goss Int’l 321 F.
Supp. 2d at 1045.
The final results of the 1997–1998
administrative review were a factor in
the Department’s decisions to revoke
TKS from the antidumping duty order,
as well as to sunset the order. (See Large

On March 7, 2005, the Department
published the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on low
enriched uranium from France for the
period February 1, 2003 through January
31, 2004. See Low Enriched Uranium

the Department of Commerce (the
Department) to issue the final results in
an administrative review within 120
days after the date on which the
preliminary results were published.
However, if it is not practicable to
complete the review within this time
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
allows the Department to extend the
time limit for the final results to 180
days from the date of publication of the
preliminary results. The Department
finds that it is not practicable to
complete the review within the original
time frame due to the complex nature of
the case and because the Department is
seeking clarification on certain issues
(supplemental questionnaires were
issued on March 8, 2005 and March 18,
2005, after the preliminary results were
issued). In order to provide the
Department sufficient time to review the
submissions, conduct verification, and
thoroughly analyze all information on
the record, completion of this review is
not practicable within the original time
limit. Consequently, in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and
section 351.213(h)(2) of the
Department’s regulations, the
Department is extending the time limit
for the completion of the final results of
the review until no later than September
6, 2005, which is the next business day
after 180 days from the publication of
the preliminary results. This notice is
issued and published in accordance
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 11, 1995 the Department
published the antidumping duty order
on oil country tubular goods (OCTG)
from Argentina. See Antidumping Duty
Order: Oil Country Tubular Goods from
Argentina, 60 FR 41055 (August 11,
1995). On August 3, 2004 the
Department published a notice of
opportunity to request a review of this
order. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 69
FR 46496 (August 3, 2004). On August
31, 2004, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b)(1), the Department received a
timely and properly filed request from
United States Steel Corporation, a
petitioner in the original investigation,
for a review of the imports by producer
Siderca S.A.I.C.
On September 22, 2004, the
Department published a notice of
initiation of this administrative review
covering the period August 1, 2003
through July 31, 2004. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 69 FR 56745
(September 22, 2004). The preliminary
results of this review are currently due
no later than May 3, 2005.
Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Tariff Act), the Department shall issue
preliminary results in an administrative
review of an antidumping duty order
within 245 days after the last day of the
anniversary month of the date of
publication of the order for which a
review is requested, and the final results
within 120 days after the date on which
the preliminary results are published.
However, if it is not practicable to
complete the review within this time
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff
Act allows the Department to extend
these deadlines to a maximum of 365
days and 180 days respectively.
The Department finds that it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
results in the administrative review of
OCTG from Argentina within the
originally anticipated time limit (i.e., by
May 3, 2005) because significant
questions have arisen regarding whether
or not Siderca had any entries of subject
merchandise for consumption during
the period of review. As a result, the
Department needs additional time in
order to obtain and analyze relevant
VerDate jul<14>2003

documents from U.S. Customs and
Border Protection. Therefore, the
Department is extending the time limit
for completion of the preliminary
results by 70 days until no later than
July 12, 2005, in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act.
The final results continue to be due 120
days after the publication of the
preliminary results.
This notice is published in
accordance with section 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act.

Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods
from Mexico; Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Partial Rescission
Import Administration,

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to a request from
United States Steel Corporation, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain oil
country tubular goods (OCTG) from
Mexico. The period of review (POR) is
August 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004.
We preliminarily find that Hylsa, S.A.
de C.V (Hylsa) made sales of the subject
merchandise at less than normal value
(NV). In addition, we are preliminarily
rescinding this review with respect to
Tubos de Acero de Mexico, S.A.
(Tamsa) because Tamsa reported, and
we confirmed, that it made no
shipments of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR. If these
preliminary results are adopted in the
final results of this administrative
review, we will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties based on the
difference between constructed value
(CV) and the NV for Hylsa.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.
Parties who submit argument in this
proceeding are requested to submit with
the argument: 1) a statement of the
issues, 2) a brief summary of the
argument, and 3) a table of authorities.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 10, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 11, 1995, the Department
published the antidumping duty order
on OCTG from Mexico. See
Antidumping Duty Order: Oil Country
Tubular Goods From Mexico, 60 FR
41056 (August 11, 1995) (AD Order). On
August 3, 2004, the Department
published the opportunity to request
administrative review of, inter alia,
OCTG from Mexico for the period
August 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004.
See Antidumping or Countervailing
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity to Request
Administrative Review, 69 FR 46496
(August 3, 2004).
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b)(2), on August 31, 2004,
United States Steel Corporation
requested that we conduct an
administrative review of the sales of
subject merchandise of Tamsa and
Hylsa. On September 22, 2004, the
Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of initiation of this
antidumping duty administrative review
covering the period August 1, 2003,
through July 31, 2004. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 69 FR 183
(September 22, 2004).
On October 6, 2004, the Department
issued its antidumping duty
questionnaire to Hylsa and Tamsa. On
October 25, 2004, Tamsa submitted a
no–shipment certification letter to the
Department explaining that it had no
sales of subject merchandise during the
POR and requested a rescission of the
administrative review with respect to
Tamsa. See Partial Rescission of
Administrative Review below for a
discussion of this issue.
Hylsa submitted its response to
section A of the Department’s
questionnaire on November 9, 2004, and
its response to section C on November
23, 2004. In its section A response,
Hylsa informed the Department that it
had no viable home market or third
country sales to use as normal value and
was therefore reporting constructed
value data. The Department issued a
supplemental sections A and C
questionnaire to Hylsa on December 29,
2004. Hylsa submitted its response to
the Department’s sections A and C
