Verification Frm 00027 Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the briefs and rebuttal briefs filed by parties to this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is appended to this notice. Changes Since the Preliminary Results After reviewing the Preliminary Results, we have made two changes to SeAH’s calculations that have impacted the margin. We included an updated cost of production database to include sales to Canada. We also converted the comparison–market revenue value used to calculate Constructed Export Price profit from U.S. Dollars to Korean Won. Final Results of Review As a result of our review, we determine that the following weighted– average margins exist for the period August 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004: Manufacturer/Exporter As provided in section 782(i) of the Act, we verified the information submitted by SeAH and Husteel for use in our final results. We used standard verification procedures, including on– site examination of relevant accounting and production records and original source documents provided by both companies. Our verification results are outlined in the Memorandum to Barbara E. Tillman through Thomas Gilgunn from Scott Lindsay, Nicholas Czajkowski, and Toni Page: Verification of Costs and Sales for Husteel Co., Ltd. in the Administrative Review of Oil Country Tubular Goods, Other Than Drill Pipe, from Korea (December 28, 2005); Memorandum to Barbara E.

Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 SeAH Steel Corporation Husteel Co., Ltd. ........... Margin (percent) 6.84% 12.30% Duty Assessment The Department shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the Department calculates an assessment rate for each importer of the subject merchandise for each respondent. Upon issuance of the final results of this administrative review, if any importer–specific assessment rates calculated in the final results are above de minimis (i.e., at or above 0.5 percent), the Department will issue appraisement instructions directly to CBP to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries. To determine whether the duty assessment rates covering the period were de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), for each respondent we calculated importer (or customer)specific ad valorem rates by aggregating the dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to that importer or customer and dividing this amount by the total entered value of the sales to that importer (or customer). Where an importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem rate is greater than de minimis, and the respondent has reported reliable entered values, we apply the assessment rate to the entered value of the E:\FR\FM\14MRN1.SGM 14MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 49 / Tuesday, March 14, 2006 / Notices importer’s/customer’s entries during the review period. Where an importer (or customer)- specific ad valorem rate is greater than de minimis and we do not have reliable entered values, we calculate a per–unit assessment rate by aggregating the dumping duties due for all U.S. sales to each importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the total quantity sold to that importer (or customer). The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP within 15 days of the final results of this review. Cash Deposit Requirements The following antidumping duty deposit rates will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of OCTG from Korea entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results, as provided for by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) for Husteel and SeAH, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the final results of this review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the company–specific rate established for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less–than-fair–value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the subject merchandise; and (4) if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered by this review, a prior review, or the LTFV investigation, the cash deposit rate shall be the all others rate established in the LTFV investigation, which is 12.17 percent. See Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Oil Country Tubular Goods from Korea, 60 FR 33561 (June 28, 1995). These deposit rates, when imposed, shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next administrative review. wwhite on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Notification to Importers This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:18 Mar 13, 2006 Jkt 208001 Notification Regarding APOs This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(5). Timely written notification of the return/ destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    After reviewing the Preliminary Results, we have made two changes 
to SeAH's calculations that have impacted the margin. We included an 
updated cost of production database to include sales to Canada. We also 
converted the comparison-market revenue value used to calculate 
Constructed Export Price profit from U.S. Dollars to Korean Won.

Final Results of Review

    As a result of our review, we determine that the following 
weighted-average margins exist for the period August 1, 2003, through 
July 31, 2004:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Manufacturer/Exporter                  Margin (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SeAH Steel Corporation..............................               6.84%
Husteel Co., Ltd....................................              12.30%
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Duty Assessment

    The Department shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), the Department calculates an 
assessment rate for each importer of the subject merchandise for each 
respondent. Upon issuance of the final results of this administrative 
review, if any importer-specific assessment rates calculated in the 
final results are above de minimis (i.e., at or above 0.5 percent), the 
Department will issue appraisement instructions directly to CBP to 
assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries.
    To determine whether the duty assessment rates covering the period 
were de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 
351.106(c)(2), for each respondent we calculated importer (or 
customer)- specific ad valorem rates by aggregating the dumping margins 
calculated for all U.S. sales to that importer or customer and dividing 
this amount by the total entered value of the sales to that importer 
(or customer). Where an importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem rate 
is greater than de minimis, and the respondent has reported reliable 
entered values, we apply the assessment rate to the entered value of 
the

importer's/customer's entries during the review period. Where an 
importer (or customer)- specific ad valorem rate is greater than de 
minimis and we do not have reliable entered values, we calculate a per-
unit assessment rate by aggregating the dumping duties due for all U.S. 
sales to each importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the 
total quantity sold to that importer (or customer). The Department will 
issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP within 15 
days of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following antidumping duty deposit rates will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of OCTG from Korea entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the publication date of the final results, as 
provided for by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) for Husteel and SeAH, 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the final results 
of this review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies 
not listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific 
rate established for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not 
a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-
value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the 
manufacturer of the subject merchandise; and (4) if neither the 
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered by this review, a prior 
review, or the LTFV investigation, the cash deposit rate shall be the 
all others rate established in the LTFV investigation, which is 12.17 
percent. See Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Oil 
Country Tubular Goods from Korea, 60 FR 33561 (June 28, 1995). These 
deposit rates, 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 final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding APOs

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(5). Timely written 
notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion 
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply 
with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This administrative review and notice are in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 7, 2006.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
