amount by the total entered value of the
sales to that importer.
Cash Deposit Requirements
To calculate the cash deposit rate for
each producer and/or exporter included
in this administrative review, we
divided the total dumping margins for
each company by the total net value for
that company’s sales during the review
period.
The following deposit rates will be
effective upon publication of the final
results of this administrative review for
all shipments of wire rod from Trinidad
and Tobago entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the publication date, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The
cash deposit rate for the company listed
above will be the rate established in the
final results of this review, except if the
rate is less than 0.5 percent and,
therefore, de minimis, the cash deposit
rate will be zero; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not
listed above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company–specific
rate published for the most recent final
results in which that manufacturer or
exporter participated; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the original less than
fair value (‘‘LTFV’’) investigation, but
the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recent final results for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and
(4) if neither the exporter nor the
manufacturer is a firm covered in this or
any previous review conducted by the
Department, the cash deposit rate will
be 11.40 percent, the ‘‘All Others’’ rate
established in the LTFV investigation.
See Wire Rod Orders.
These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until publication of the final results of
the next administrative review.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
to file a certificate regarding the
reimbursement of antidumping duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant
entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and
increase the subsequent assessment of
the antidumping duties by the amount
of antidumping duties reimbursed.
These preliminary results of this
administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Background
On April 6, 2005, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain hot–
rolled carbon steel flat products from
Brazil covering the period March 1,
2003, through February 29, 2004 (70 FR
17406). The final results for the
antidumping duty administrative review
of certain hot–rolled carbon steel flat
products from Brazil are currently due
no later than August 4, 2005.
Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results Section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by
the Uruguay Agreement Act (the Act),
requires the Department to issue the
preliminary results of an administrative
review within 245 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an
antidumping duty order for which a
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703

review is requested and issue 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 the time period, section
741(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend these deadlines to
a maximum of 365 days and 180 days,
respectively.
The Department has determined it is
not practicable to complete this review
within the originally anticipated time
limit (i.e., by August 4, 2005), in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act, for the following reasons: (1)
the cost verification of the affiliated
importer located in the United States is
scheduled to take place July 20–22,
2005; (2) there is insufficient time for
the briefing schedule following the sales
and cost verifications; and (3) a
domestic interested party has requested
a hearing, which must take place after
the briefs are filed. Accordingly, the
Department is fully extending the time
limits for completion of the final results
to no later than October 3, 2005.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with Section
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 11, 1995, the Department
published the antidumping duty order
on oil country tubular goods 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 an opportunity to
request an administrative review of this
order 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).
On August 31, 2004, United States Steel
Corporation (petitioner) requested that
the Department conduct an
administrative review of sales of the
subject merchandise made by Siderca.
On September 22, 2004, the
Department initiated the administrative
review. See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 69 FR 56745 (September 22, 2004).
On September 27, 2004, the
Department issued its antidumping duty
questionnaire to Siderca. In response,
Siderca stated in an October 18, 2004,
submission that it had no consumption
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR, and requested that the
Department rescind the review with
respect to Siderca.
On April 19, 2005, the Department
issued a supplemental questionnaire to
Siderca. The Department attached to it
a list of shipments of OCTG from
Argentina that entered the United States
during the POR that the Department had
reason to believe had been
manufactured by Siderca or its affiliates.
We obtained this list from the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) by
doing a CBP automated commercial
system (ACS) data query. We asked
Siderca to explain why it believed these
entries were not subject to this
administrative review. Siderca
submitted its response on April 22,
2005. Siderca explained that it did not
sell to the importer identified on the list
of entries that we had attached to the
VerDate jul<14>2003
16:15 Jul 11, 2005
Jkt 205001
April 19, 2005, supplemental
questionnaire.
On June 22, 2005, the Department
placed on the record of this
administrative review copies of import
documentation obtained from CBP.
Period of Review
The POR is August 1, 2003, through
July 31, 2004.
Scope of the Order
Oil country tubular goods (OCTG) are
hollow steel products of circular crosssection, including oil well casing and
tubing 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. Drill pipe was
excluded from this order beginning
August 11, 2001. See Continuation of
Countervailing and Antidumping Duty
Orders on Oil Country Tubular Goods
From Argentina, Italy, Japan, Korea and
Mexico, and Partial Revocation of Those
Orders From Argentina and Mexico
With Respect to Drill Pipe, 66 FR 38630

Department may rescind an
administrative review, in whole or with
respect to a particular exporter or
producer, if the Secretary concludes
that, during the period covered by the

or sales of the subject merchandise.
Based on our review of data from the
CBP ACS data query and of
documentation from CBP, we
preliminarily determine that Siderca
had no entries during the POR. We are
therefore preliminarily rescinding the
review in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3). We are giving interested
parties an opportunity to comment on
this preliminary rescission. An
interested party may request a hearing
within 30 days of publication. See CFR

will be held 37 days after the date of
publication, or the first business day
thereafter, unless the Department alters
the date. See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
Interested parties may submit case
briefs or written comments no later than
30 days after the date of publication of
this preliminary rescission. Rebuttal
briefs and rebuttals to written
comments, limited to issues raised in
the case briefs and comments, may be
filed no later than 35 days after the date
of publication of this notice. Parties who
submit argument in this proceeding are
requested to submit with the argument
(1) a statement of the issue, (2) a brief
summary of the argument, and (3) a
table of authorities. Further, we would
appreciate it if parties submitting
written comments would provide the
Department with an additional copy of
the public version of any such
comments on diskette. The Department
will issue final results of this
administrative review, including the
results of our analysis of the issues
raised in any such written comments or
at a hearing, within 120 days of
publication of this preliminary
rescission.
We are issuing and publishing this
