SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jkt 211001 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, 2006, 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, 71 FR 43441 (August 1, 2006). On August 31, 2006, United States Steel Corporation (petitioner) requested that the Department conduct an administrative review of sales of the subject merchandise made by Siderca. On September 29, 2006, 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, 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 2006). The Department issued its antidumping duty questionnaire to Siderca on October 13, 2006. In response, Siderca stated in a November 1, 2006, 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 October 30, 2006, the Department placed on the record of the review copies of documents regarding entries of subject merchandise from Argentina that it obtained from U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). On November 20, 2006, the Department issued a letter to petitioners, domestic interested parties, and Siderca stating that the Department intended to rescind the review for want of a reviewable consumption entry by Siderca. We invited parties to submit comments on our intent to rescind the review. We requested that any comments be submitted by December 1, 2006. We received no comments.

Rescission of Review On November 1, 2006, 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 E:\FR\FM\10JAN1.SGM 10JAN1 1216 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 6 / Wednesday, January 10, 2007 / Notices was destined for the United States. In a November 20, 2006, letter to parties, we requested comments from parties on this determination, and received no comments. Therefore, based on our review of CBP documents, we are satisfied 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.

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, 2006, 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, 71 FR 43441 (August 1, 2006). On August 31,

Department conduct an administrative review of sales of the subject

issued its antidumping duty questionnaire to Siderca on October 13,

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 October 30, 2006, the Department placed on the record of the 
review copies of documents regarding entries of subject merchandise 
from Argentina that it obtained from U. S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP). On November 20, 2006, the Department issued a letter 
to petitioners, domestic interested parties, and Siderca stating that 
the Department intended to rescind the review for want of a reviewable 
consumption entry by Siderca. We invited parties to submit comments on 
our intent to rescind the review. We requested that any comments be 
submitted by December 1, 2006. We received no comments.

Rescission of Review

    On November 1, 2006, 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

[[Page 1216]]

was destined for the United States. In a November 20, 2006, letter to 
parties, we requested comments from parties on this determination, and 
received no comments. Therefore, based on our review of CBP documents, 
we are satisfied 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.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under section 351.402(f) of the Department's regulations 
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 
assumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and 
subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. This notice also 
serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective 
order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of 
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with section 
351.305(a)(3) of the Department's regulations. 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    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).
