investigation of drill pipe from the
People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’).1
On January 12, 2011, VAM Drilling
USA, Inc., Texas Steel Conversion, Inc.,
Rotary Drilling Tools, TMK IPSCO, and
the United Steel, Paper and Forestry,
Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied
Industrial and Service Workers
International Union, AFL–CIO–CLC
(collectively ‘‘Petitioners’’); and Baoshan
Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (‘‘Baoshan’’) filed
timely allegations that the Department
made various ministerial errors in the
Final Determination and requested,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224, that the
Department correct the alleged
ministerial errors. No other party in this
proceeding submitted comments on the
Department’s final margin calculations.
Based upon our analysis of the
comments and allegations of ministerial
errors, we made changes to the
determination of critical circumstances
for DP–Master Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
and Jiangyin Liangda Drill Pipe Co., Ltd.
(collectively ‘‘the DP–Master Group’’).
Furthermore, as a result of correcting
the errors in the final determination of
critical circumstances for the DP–Master
Group, the determination of critical
circumstances for the companies
granted separate-rate status 2 was also
revised because the change in import
volumes for those companies were
derived from the calculation of changes
in import volumes of the DP–Master
Group, Baoshan, and Shanxi Yida
Special Steel Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Yida’’). However, we have determined
that, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), it
is not appropriate to make changes to
our calculation of freight with respect to
Baoshan because this correction would
not alter the de minimis margin found
for Baoshan in the Final Determination.
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by the
investigation are steel drill pipe, and
steel drill collars, whether or not
conforming to American Petroleum
Institute (‘‘API’’) or non-API
specifications. Included are finished
drill pipe and drill collars without
regard to the specific chemistry of the
steel (i.e., carbon, stainless steel, or
other alloy steel), and without regard to
length or outer diameter. Also included
are unfinished drill collars (including
all drill collar green tubes) and
unfinished drill pipe (including drill

meeting the following description:
Seamless tubes with an outer diameter
of less than or equal to 65⁄8 inches
(168.28 millimeters), containing
between 0.16 and 0.75 percent
molybdenum, and containing between
0.75 and 1.45 percent chromium). The
scope does not include tool joints not
attached to the drill pipe, nor does it
include unfinished tubes for casing or
tubing covered by any other
antidumping or countervailing duty
order.
The subject products are currently
classified in the following Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) categories: 7304.22.0030,

While HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of the investigation is dispositive.
Amended Final Results of the
Investigation
The Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the ‘‘Act’’), defines a ‘‘ministerial error’’
as including ‘‘errors in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic
function, clerical errors resulting from
inaccurate copying, duplication, or the
like, and any other type of unintentional
error which the administering authority
considers ministerial.’’ See section
735(e) of the Act. After analyzing
Petitioners’ and Baoshan’s comments,
we have determined that we made
certain ministerial errors, as defined by
section 735(e) of the Act, in our
calculations for the Final Determination
with respect to our determination of
critical circumstances for the DP–Master
Group and our calculation of freight
expenses for certain inputs for Baoshan.
However, as noted above, we have
found that, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.224(e), it is only appropriate to
amend the Final Determination with
respect to the DP–Master Group and the
Separate Rate Respondents. For a
detailed discussion of these ministerial
errors, as well as the Department’s
analysis of these errors, see
Memorandum to James C. Doyle,
through Paul Walker, from Susan

Pulongbarit and Toni Dach, regarding
‘‘Investigation of Drill Pipe from the
People’s Republic of China: Ministerial
Error Memorandum,’’ dated
concurrently with this notice.
Because we have revised the
determination of critical circumstances
for the DP–Master Group, we are also
revising the determination of critical
circumstances for the Separate Rate
Respondents because the calculation of
changes in import volumes for those
companies was calculated as the
weighted average of the changes in
import volumes for DP–Master Group,
Baoshan and Yida. In accordance with
section 735(e) of the Act, we are
amending the Final Determination. As a
result of correcting the ministerial error
discussed above, we determine that
critical circumstances exist for the DP–
Master Group and the Separate Rate
Respondents.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to suspend liquidation of all entries of
the merchandise under consideration
from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after May 20, 2010, with respect to the
DP–Master Group and the Separate Rate
Respondents, which is 90 days prior to
the date on which the suspension of
liquidation was first ordered, i.e., 90
days prior to the date of publication of
the Preliminary Determination 3 in the
Federal Register. CBP shall continue to
require a cash deposit or the posting of
a bond equal to the estimated amount by
which the normal value exceeds the
U.S. price as shown above. These
instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice. For
a general discussion of the application
of cash deposits, see Final
Determination, 76 FR at 19706.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also is the only reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305. 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.

Notice of Roundtable and Request for
Comments on How To More Effectively
Use the Patent and Trademark
Depository Library Program
United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting;
request for comments.
AGENCY:
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) wants to
increase transparency by making
USPTO information and materials more
publicly available. USPTO information
is currently disseminated through a
variety of means, including through the
Patent and Trademark Depository
Library Program (PTDLP). The PTDLP
allows the USPTO, through public laws,
to partner with state and municipal
libraries around the United States to
develop core expertise in patents and
trademarks to ensure that potential filers
have local resources to draw on for
assistance and support. The USPTO has
undertaken an overall revitalization of
the PTDLP to reflect the new 21st
Century electronic approach to
customer service. As part of this
initiative, the USPTO is conducting a
public roundtable to obtain input from
organizations and individuals on
current use of the Patent and Trademark
Depository Libraries (PTDLs) and how
to more effectively use the PTDLP in the
future.
DATES: The first roundtable will be held
on Tuesday, February 15, 2011,
beginning at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Standard
Time (EST) and ending at 3 p.m. EST.
The deadline for receipt of written
comments is March 17, 2011.
ADDRESSES: The roundtable will be held
at the USPTO in the Madison
Auditorium on the concourse level of
the Madison Building, which is located
at 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria,
Virginia 22314.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
PTDLP disseminates patent and
trademark information and provides
training and outreach support to a
network of over 80 academic, public,
state and special libraries, located in 45
states, the District of Columbia, and
Puerto Rico. PTDLs provide walk-in,
telephone, and Internet assistance for
independent inventors, researchers,
students, small- and medium-sized
businesses and other members of the
public across the United States.
The PTDLP has changed dramatically
over the years, from being strictly a
‘‘depository’’ program, where the USPTO
provided paper copies of patents and
trademarks and support materials, to an
electronic program, where data and
materials are provided on-line and in
computer-readable media. In addition to
the array of USPTO search tools now
available on the Web, every PTDL
provides public access to PubWEST
(Web-based Examiner Search Tool),
providing the public with one of the
same powerful search tools that patent
examiners have.
Today’s PTDLs provide free,
personalized assistance to their
communities on how to use the array of
patent and trademark resources now
available on the Web. As the USPTO has
shifted to a paperless agency model, the
PTDLP has assumed a greater role in the
USPTO’s overall outreach program. The
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
PTDLP provides a ready-made network
for USPTO policy makers and
knowledgeable staff at those venues to
help share information about USPTO
and its many programs and initiatives.
Today’s PTDLs are no longer simply
maintaining patent and trademark
collections—i.e., they are no longer
mere ‘‘depositories’’ of information—but
are centers of innovation. Specially
designated staff educate customers on
how to perform preliminary prior art
searches, provide classes in searching
the USPTO Web site, show how to move
their invention from inventive concept
to the marketplace, show how to track
down prior art disclosed in foreign
patent publications and non-patent
literature, and provide other
individualized services.
The shift to electronic resources has
enabled the PTDLP to more effectively
train PTDL staff and the public to better
use the tools and data available to them.
More specifically, the USPTO trains
PTDL staff, who, in turn, provide
assistance and training to public
customers. As the PTDLP continues to
move away from the physical
distribution of hard-copy information,
the USPTO is interested in what types
of new and different services the PTDLP
of the future should offer its customers.
PTDLs are the face of USPTO in their
local communities. For this reason, the
USPTO is seeking recommendations
from stakeholders on the role they
envision the PTDLs playing in the
USPTO’s outreach efforts, and how the
PTDLP can be used to provide more
effective communication and
transparent information to its
customers.
Toward that end, the USPTO is
conducting a roundtable to obtain
public input from organizations and
individuals on the future character of
the PTDLs. The number of participants
in the roundtable is limited to ensure
that all who are speaking will have a
meaningful chance to do so. The USPTO
plans to invite participants from patent
user groups, practitioners, industry,
independent inventor organizations,
academia, and government. The
roundtables are open to the public.
The USPTO will provide an agenda,
list of known participants, and
preparatory materials (if any) to the
participants prior to the roundtable in
order to focus the discussion and
enhance the efficiency of the
proceedings. All such materials will be
posted on the USPTO’s Internet Web
site. The USPTO plans to make the
roundtable available via Web cast. Web
cast information will be available before
the roundtable on the USPTO’s Internet
Web site. Any slides or handouts

ministerial errors in the Final Determination and requested, pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.224, that the Department correct the alleged ministerial
errors. No other party in this proceeding submitted comments on the
Department's final margin calculations.
Based upon our analysis of the comments and allegations of
ministerial errors, we made changes to the determination of critical
circumstances for DP-Master Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Jiangyin
Liangda Drill Pipe Co., Ltd. (collectively ``the DP-Master Group'').
Furthermore, as a result of correcting the errors in the final
determination of critical circumstances for the DP-Master Group, the
determination of critical circumstances for the companies granted
separate-rate status \2\ was also revised because the change in import
volumes for those companies were derived from the calculation of
changes in import volumes of the DP-Master Group, Baoshan, and Shanxi
Yida Special Steel Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd. (``Yida''). However, we have
determined that, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), it is not appropriate
to make changes to our calculation of freight with respect to Baoshan
because this correction would not alter the de minimis margin found for
Baoshan in the Final Determination.

Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by the investigation are steel drill pipe, and
steel drill collars, whether or not conforming to American Petroleum
Institute (``API'') or non-API specifications. Included are finished
drill pipe and drill collars without regard to the specific chemistry
of the steel (i.e., carbon, stainless steel, or other alloy steel), and
without regard to length or outer diameter. Also included are
unfinished drill collars (including all drill collar green tubes) and
unfinished drill pipe (including drill pipe green tubes, which are
tubes meeting the following description: Seamless tubes with an outer
diameter of less than or equal to 6\5/8\ inches (168.28 millimeters),
containing between 0.16 and 0.75 percent molybdenum, and containing
between 0.75 and 1.45 percent chromium). The scope does not include
tool joints not attached to the drill pipe, nor does it include
unfinished tubes for casing or tubing covered by any other antidumping
or countervailing duty order.
The subject products are currently classified in the following
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') categories:
7304.22.0030, 7304.22.0045, 7304.22.0060, 7304.23.3000, 7304.23.6030,

While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the scope of the investigation is

Amended Final Results of the Investigation
The Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''), defines a
``ministerial error'' as including ``errors in addition, subtraction,
or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate
copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional
error which the administering authority considers ministerial.'' See
section 735(e) of the Act. After analyzing Petitioners' and Baoshan's
comments, we have determined that we made certain ministerial errors,
as defined by section 735(e) of the Act, in our calculations for the
Final Determination with respect to our determination of critical
circumstances for the DP-Master Group and our calculation of freight
expenses for certain inputs for Baoshan. However, as noted above, we
have found that, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), it is only appropriate
to amend the Final Determination with respect to the DP-Master Group
and the Separate Rate Respondents. For a detailed discussion of these
ministerial errors, as well as the Department's analysis of these
errors, see Memorandum to James C. Doyle, through Paul Walker, from
Susan Pulongbarit and Toni Dach, regarding ``Investigation of Drill
Pipe from the People's Republic of China: Ministerial Error
Memorandum,'' dated concurrently with this notice.
Because we have revised the determination of critical circumstances
for the DP-Master Group, we are also revising the determination of
critical circumstances for the Separate Rate Respondents because the
calculation of changes in import volumes for those companies was
calculated as the weighted average of the changes in import volumes for
DP-Master Group, Baoshan and Yida. In accordance with section 735(e) of
the Act, we are amending the Final Determination. As a result of
correcting the ministerial error discussed above, we determine that
critical circumstances exist for the DP-Master Group and the Separate
Rate Respondents.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') to suspend liquidation of all entries of the merchandise
under consideration from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after May 20, 2010, with respect to the DP-Master
Group and the Separate Rate Respondents, which is 90 days prior to the
date on which the suspension of liquidation was first ordered, i.e., 90
days prior to the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination
\3\ in the Federal Register. CBP shall continue to require a cash
deposit or the posting of a bond equal to the estimated amount by which
the normal value exceeds the U.S. price as shown above. These
instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further
notice. For a general discussion of the application of cash deposits,
see Final Determination, 76 FR at 19706.
