Download as PDF 18206 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 69 / Wednesday, April 11, 2007 / Notices Decision Memorandum’’ (Decision Memorandum) from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, to David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, dated April 6, 2007, which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the issues which the parties have raised and to which we have responded is attached to this notice as an appendix. Parties can find a complete discussion of all issues raised in this review and corresponding recommendations in this public memorandum which is on file in Import Administration’s Central Records Unit, Room B–099 of the main Department building. In addition, a complete version of the Decision Memorandum is available on the Internet at https://ia ita.doc.gov/frn/. The paper copy and electronic version of the Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our analysis of comments received, we have made a methodological change to our calculations as reflected in our Preliminary Results (see Comment 2 of the Decision Memorandum). Final Results of Review As a result of our review, we determine that the following weighted– average percentage margin exists for the period November 1, 2004, through October 31, 2005: Manufacturer/exporter Margin (percent) cprice-sewell on PRODPC61 with NOTICES Mittal Steel Galati S.A. 0.00 Assessment Rate The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. We intend to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of these final results of review. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated an importer–specific assessment rate. We will direct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries at this rate. See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). The Department clarified its ‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on May 6, 2003 (68 FR 23954). This clarification will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the period of review produced by the company included in these final results of review for which the reviewed company did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:04 Apr 10, 2007 Jkt 211001 unreviewed entries at the all–others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). Cash–Deposit Requirements The following deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these final results of administrative review, as provided by section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act): (1) the cash– deposit rate for MS Galati will be 0.00 percent; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a previous segment of this proceeding, the cash– deposit rate will continue to be the company–specific rate published in the prior segment of the proceeding in which that manufacturer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or in any previous segment of this proceeding but the manufacturer is, the cash–deposit rate will be that established for the manufacturer of the merchandise in these final results of review or in the most recent segment of the proceeding in which that manufacturer participated; 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 the ‘‘All Others’’ rate made effective on June 14, 2005, which is 17.84 percent. See Certain Hot– Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products From Romania: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 70 FR 34448, 34450 (June 14, 2005). These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification This notice also serves as the final 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 in the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 return/destruction or conversion to judicial protective order of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Failure to comply is a violation of the APO. These final results of review are issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: April 4, 2007. Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Amendment to Final Results of Review In accordance with section 735(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (the Act), on March 6, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published its notice of final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods (‘‘OCTG’’), other than drill pipe, from Korea for the period (‘‘POR’’) August 1, 2004 through July 31, 2005.

On March 5, 2007, we extended the deadline to submit ministerial error allegations for SeAH Steel Corporation (SeAH) and United States Steel Corporation (Petitioner) to March 6, 2007. See Letter to Kaye Scholer, LLP from Thomas Gilgunn, Program Manager, Office of AD/CVD Operations VI, Import Administration, dated March 5, 2007; see also Letter to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP from Thomas Gilgunn, Program Manager, Office of AD/CVD Operations VI, Import Administration, dated March 5, 2007. On March 6, 2007, SeAH and Petitioner filed timely allegations that the Department made ministerial errors in the Final Results. On March 12, 2007, Petitioner filed a timely response to the ministerial error allegations submitted by SeAH. After analyzing parties’ comments, we have determined, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we made the following ministerial errors in our calculations performed for the final results of review: (1) we incorrectly merged and matched SeAH’s further manufacturing cost file with its U.S. sales database; (2) we incorrectly double–counted the general and administrative expenses incurred by SeAH’s affiliate, Pusan Pipe America, Inc., in connection to the further manufacturing performed in the United States; (3) when conducting the cost test, we incorrectly compared the comparison market net price (CMNPRICOP) (inclusive of comparison market indirect selling expenses), to the average cost of production, (which excludes indirect selling expenses); and 4) we assigned incorrect values to U.S. inland freight from port to warehouse (INLFPWU) on SeAH’s U.S. sales that were both further manufactured and sent directly from Korea to unaffiliated customers in the United States. For a detailed discussion of the ministerial errors listed above, as well as the Department’s analysis, see Memorandum from Scott Lindsay, Senior Analyst, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6, to Thomas Gilgunn, Program Manager, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6, concerning Oil Country Tubular Goods, Other Than Drill Pipe, from Korea: Analysis of Ministerial Error Allegations for SeAH Steel Corporation, dated April 5, 2007, a public version of which is on file in the Central Records Unit, Room B–099 of the main Commerce Building. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending the final results of administrative review of OCTG from Korea for the period August VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:04 Apr 10, 2007 Jkt 211001 1, 2004 through July 31, 2005. As a result of correcting the ministerial errors discussed above, SeAH’s weighted– average dumping margin changed from 4.73 percent to 0.77 percent. For the remaining respondents, the weighted– average dumping margin remains the same. See Final Results. Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated importer–specific assessment rates by dividing the dumping margin found on the subject merchandise examined by the entered value of such merchandise. Where the importer– specific assessment rate is above de minimis, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on that importer’s entries of subject merchandise. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these final results of review. Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of these amended final results of the administrative review for shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these amended final results of administrative review, as provided by section 751(a) of the Act: (1) for subject merchandise exported by SeAH, the cash deposit rate will be 0.77 percent; (2) for Husteel Corporation, Ltd., the cash deposit rate will remain as established in the Final Results. These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next administrative review. This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 751(h) and 771(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: April 4, 2007. Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Amendment to Final Results of Review

    In accordance with section 735(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended, (the Act), on March 6, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published its notice of final results of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods 
(``OCTG''), other than drill pipe, from Korea for the period (``POR'') 
August 1, 2004 through July 31, 2005. See Oil Country Tubular Goods, 
Other Than Drill Pipe, from Korea: Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 72 FR 9224

[[Page 18207]]

(March 6, 2007) and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum, dated 
February 27, 2007 (Final Results). On March 5, 2007, we extended the 
deadline to submit ministerial error allegations for SeAH Steel 
Corporation (SeAH) and United States Steel Corporation (Petitioner) to 
March 6, 2007. See Letter to Kaye Scholer, LLP from Thomas Gilgunn, 
Program Manager, Office of AD/CVD Operations VI, Import Administration, 
dated March 5, 2007; see also Letter to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & 
Flom, LLP from Thomas Gilgunn, Program Manager, Office of AD/CVD 
Operations VI, Import Administration, dated March 5, 2007. On March 6, 
2007, SeAH and Petitioner filed timely allegations that the Department 
made ministerial errors in the Final Results. On March 12, 2007, 
Petitioner filed a timely response to the ministerial error allegations 
submitted by SeAH.
    After analyzing parties' comments, we have determined, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we made the following 
ministerial errors in our calculations performed for the final results 
of review: (1) we incorrectly merged and matched SeAH's further 
manufacturing cost file with its U.S. sales database; (2) we 
incorrectly double-counted the general and administrative expenses 
incurred by SeAH's affiliate, Pusan Pipe America, Inc., in connection 
to the further manufacturing performed in the United States; (3) when 
conducting the cost test, we incorrectly compared the comparison market 
net price (CMNPRICOP) (inclusive of comparison market indirect selling 
expenses), to the average cost of production, (which excludes indirect 
selling expenses); and 4) we assigned incorrect values to U.S. inland 
freight from port to warehouse (INLFPWU) on SeAH's U.S. sales that were 
both further manufactured and sent directly from Korea to unaffiliated 
customers in the United States.
    For a detailed discussion of the ministerial errors listed above, 
as well as the Department's analysis, see Memorandum from Scott 
Lindsay, Senior Analyst, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6, to Thomas 
Gilgunn, Program Manager, AD/CVD Operations, Office 6, concerning Oil 
Country Tubular Goods, Other Than Drill Pipe, from Korea: Analysis of 
Ministerial Error Allegations for SeAH Steel Corporation, dated April 
5, 2007, a public version of which is on file in the Central Records 
Unit, Room B-099 of the main Commerce Building.
    Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending 
the final results of administrative review of OCTG from Korea for the 
period August 1, 2004 through July 31, 2005. As a result of correcting 
the ministerial errors discussed above, SeAH's weighted-average dumping 
margin changed from 4.73 percent to 0.77 percent. For the remaining 
respondents, the weighted-average dumping margin remains the same. See 
Final Results.

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated 
importer-specific assessment rates by dividing the dumping margin found 
on the subject merchandise examined by the entered value of such 
merchandise. Where the importer-specific assessment rate is above de 
minimis, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on that 
importer's entries of subject merchandise. The Department intends to 
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of 
publication of these final results of review.
    Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective 
upon publication of these amended final results of the administrative 
review for shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of 
these amended final results of administrative review, as provided by 
section 751(a) of the Act: (1) for subject merchandise exported by 
SeAH, the cash deposit rate will be 0.77 percent; (2) for Husteel 
Corporation, Ltd., the cash deposit rate will remain as established in 
the Final Results. These cash deposit requirements shall remain in 
effect until publication of the final results of the next 
administrative review.
    This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 
751(h) and 771(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 4, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
