SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On August 11, 1995, the Department
published the antidumping duty order
on OCTG from Argentina. See
Antidumping Duty Order: Oil Country
Tubular Goods from Argentina, 60 FR
41055 (August 11, 1995). On August 1,
2005, we published in the Federal
Register a notice of opportunity to
request administrative reviews. See
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation; Opportunity to Request
Administrative Review, 70 FR 44085
(August 1, 2005). On August 31, 2005,
United States Steel Corporation
(petitioner) requested that the
Department conduct an administrative
review of sales of the subject
merchandise made by Siderca.
On September 28, 2005, the
Department published a notice of
initiation of this administrative review.
See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 70 FR 56631 (September 28, 2005).
The Department issued its antidumping
duty questionnaire to Siderca on
October 3, 2005. In response, Siderca
stated in an October 24, 2005,
submission that it had no entries for
consumption of subject merchandise of
OCTG during the POR, and requested
that the Department rescind the
administrative review with respect to
Siderca.
On January 24, 2006, the Department
placed on the record of the review
copies of documents regarding entries of
subject merchandise from Argentina
that it obtained from Customs and
Border Protection (CBP). On February 2,
2006, the Department issued a letter to
petitioners, domestic interested parties,
and Siderca stating that the Department
intended to rescind the review. We
invited parties to submit comments on
our intent to rescind the review. We
requested that any comments be
submitted by February 9, 2006. We
received no comments.
Period of Review
The POR is August 1, 2004 through
July 31, 2005.
Scope of the Review
OCTG are hollow steel products of
circular cross-section, including oil well

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

Our written description of the scope of
this order is dispositive.
Rescission of Review
On October 24, 2005, Siderca
informed the Department that it did not
ship OCTG to the United States during
the POR, and requested that we rescind
the administrative review. The
Department subsequently obtained and
reviewed entry documents from CBP,
and found no evidence that Siderca had
knowledge that any of its production
was destined for the United States. In a
February 2, 2006, letter to parties, we
requested comments from parties on
this determination, and received no
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
comments. Therefore, based on our
review of CBP documents, we are
satisfied that there were no entries of
subject merchandise subject to this
administrative review. Accordingly, we
are rescinding the review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
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
review, there were no entries, exports,
or sales of the subject merchandise.
Because the evidence on the record
shows that there were no entries of
OCTG made by Siderca during the POR,
the Department is rescinding this review
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3). The Department will
issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP within fifteen days
of publication of this notice.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (as
amended) and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
