On February 24, 2011, the ITC
notified the Department of its final
determination pursuant to sections
705(b)(1)(A)(ii) and 705(d) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), that
an industry in the United States is
threatened with material injury by
reason of subsidized imports of subject
merchandise from the PRC. The ITC also
determined that critical circumstances
do not exist. See Drill Pipe and Drill
Collars from China, Investigation Nos.
701–TA–474 and 731–TA–1176 (Final),
USITC Publication 4213 (February
2011). Pursuant to section 706(a) of the
Act, the Department is publishing a
countervailing duty order on the subject
merchandise.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
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,

Countervailing Duty Order
According to section 706(b)(2) of the
Act, duties shall be assessed on subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of the ITC’s
notice of final determination if that
determination is based upon the threat
of material injury. Section 706(b)(1) of
the Act states, ‘‘{i}f the Commission, in
its final determination under section
705(b), finds material injury or threat of
material injury which, but for the
suspension of liquidation under section
703(d)(2), would have led to a finding
of material injury, then entries of the
merchandise subject to the
countervailing duty order, the
liquidation of which has been
suspended under section 703(d)(2),
shall be subject to the imposition of
countervailing duties under section
701(a).’’ In addition, section 706(b)(2) of
the Act requires U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) to refund any
cash deposits or bonds of estimated
countervailing duties posted before the
date of publication of the ITC’s final
affirmative determination, if the ITC’s
final determination is based on threat
other than the threat described in
section 706(b)(1) of the Act. Because the
ITC’s final determination in this case is
based on the threat of material injury
and is not accompanied by a finding
that injury would have resulted but for
the imposition of suspension of
liquidation of entries since the
Department’s Preliminary
Determination 1 was published in the
Federal Register, section 706(b)(2) of
the Act is applicable.
As a result of the ITC’s determination
and in accordance with section 706(a)(1)
of the Act, the Department will direct
CBP to assess, upon further instruction
by the Department, countervailing
duties equal to the amount of the net
countervailable subsidy for all relevant
entries of drill pipe from the PRC. In
accordance with section 706 of the Act,
the Department will direct CBP to
reinstitute suspension of liquidation,2
effective on the date of publication of
the ITC’s notice of final determination
in the Federal Register, and to require
a cash deposit for each entry of subject
merchandise in an amount equal to the
net countervailable subsidy rates listed
below. See section 706(a)(3) of the Act.
The all others rate applies to all
producers and exporters of subject
merchandise not specifically listed.

our affirmative Preliminary
Determination.
The Department will instruct CBP to
terminate the suspension of liquidation
for entries of drill pipe from the PRC,
entered or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption prior to the publication
of the ITC’s notice of final
determination. The Department will
also instruct CBP to refund any cash
deposits made and release any bonds

2 The Department instructed CBP to discontinue
the suspension of liquidation on October 9, 2010,
in accordance with section 703(d) of the Act.
Section 703(d) states that the suspension of
liquidation pursuant to a preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than four months.
Entries of drill pipe from the PRC made on or after
October 9, 2010, and prior to the date of publication
of the ITC’s final determination in the Federal
Register are not liable for the assessment of
countervailing duties because of the Department’s
discontinuation, effective October 9, 2010, of the
suspension of liquidation.

Request for Public Comments
Concerning Regulatory Cooperation
Activities That Would Help Eliminate or
Reduce Unnecessary Regulatory
Divergences in North America That
Disrupt U.S. Exports
International Trade
Administration, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Government
recognizes that economic recovery and
job creation will depend significantly on
its ability to work collaboratively with
key trading partners to promote free and
open trade and investment. In our trade
and investment relationships with
Mexico and Canada, and within North
America as a whole, the main
impediments to greater trade and
investment—and more open foreign
markets for U.S. exporters and
investors—are not tariffs or quotas, but
rather unnecessary differences in
product regulations that increase costs
for producers and consumers in the
United States, Canada, and Mexico.
With this Notice, the Commerce
Department, on behalf of the
Administration, is seeking public input
to help identify such divergences in
North America, so that the U.S.
Government can work cooperatively
with Mexico and Canada to address
them.
President Obama explicitly linked
trade to job creation when he

Initiative in his 2010 State of the Union
address, and set the ambitious goal of
doubling U.S. exports in the next five
years to support millions of jobs here at
home. The President has focused
particularly on efforts to remove
unnecessary divergences in regulations
with Canada and Mexico, our first and
second largest export markets,
respectively, and officials from the three
countries have discussed strengthening
regulatory cooperation to promote better
regulation and facilitate trade, both
bilaterally and trilaterally. President
Obama met with President Felipe
´
Calderon of Mexico and Prime Minister
Stephen Harper of Canada at the the
North American Leaders’ Summit on
August 10, 2009, in Guadalajara,
Mexico. In the joint statement they
issued at the end of that meeting they
noted the progress that each of their
governments had made in reducing
unnecessary regulatory differences and
they instructed their respective
governments, ‘‘* * * to continue this
work by building on the previous
efforts, developing focused priorities
and a specific timeline.’’ The United
States Government is working with both
Mexico and Canada to reduce
unnecessary regulatory differences and
to explore further regulatory
cooperation activities aimed at reducing
or eliminating such differences where
they hinder trade and reduce
competitiveness. In order to do so, the
United States has established a HighLevel Regulatory Cooperation Council
with Mexico and a Regulatory
Cooperation Council with Canada.
While these councils are bilateral,
regulatory divergences exist that have
consequences for firms in all three
countries. Therefore, with this Notice,
the Department of Commerce’s
International Trade Administration
(ITA), in support of the National Export
Initiative (NEI) and pursuant to the
Secretary of Commerce’s role as the
chair of Trade Promotion Coordinating
Committee, is requesting stakeholders to
assist the Administration to identify
opportunities for cooperation between
or among the United States, Canada, and
Mexico to reduce or eliminate
regulatory divergences that disrupt trade
in goods in the region, as well as any
existing or emerging sectors that may
benefit from regulatory coordination
between these countries. Canada has
already solicited similar input from its
stakeholders, and Mexico has
committed to do the same.

comments on or before April 4, 2011.

Questions regarding this notice should
be directed to regcoop@trade.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In his
January 2010 State of the Union address,
President Obama announced the NEI to
double U.S. exports over five years and
support the creation of new jobs. As the
President’s Export Promotion Cabinet
has undertaken to implement the NEI,
regional and sectoral plans are being
developed to tailor the U.S.
Government’s NEI efforts based on the
realities of trade in certain regions. For
example, the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) created the
world’s largest free trade area, linking
444 million people and producing $17
trillion in goods and services. Trilateral
trade among Canada, Mexico, and the
United States was $944.6 billion in
2010. Despite this extensive trade
among NAFTA partners, U.S. exporters
indicate that they continue to encounter
unnecessary divergences in regulatory
measures in North America that disrupt
trade.
ITA has developed a Mature Markets
Initiative (MMI) to evaluate how best to
grow exports, create jobs, and support
U.S. business growth in areas where
trade is robust. Regulatory cooperation
is a key component of the MMI.
Accordingly, ITA has identified Canada
and Mexico as mature markets and will
seek ways to ease or eliminate
regulatory differences that hinder
competitiveness and negatively impact
trade for U.S. firms, including new-tomarket and new-to-export businesses,
particularly small- and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs).
Trade may be impeded, for example,
because countries apply different
standards or technical requirements to
address common environmental, health,
safety, or other concerns with respect to
certain products or product categories.
In some instances, such divergences
may be arbitrary and can lead to delays,
additional costs, and burdens on U.S.
suppliers, particularly SMEs, and, in
some cases, can make it difficult or
impossible for U.S. suppliers to
penetrate foreign markets. These
divergences can also increase regulatory
burdens for governments and costs for
consumers. In other cases, regulatory

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 11, 2011, the Department published its final
determination that countervailable subsidies are being provided to
producers and exporters of drill pipe from the PRC. See Drill Pipe from
the People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
Determination, Final Affirmative Critical Circumstances Determination,
76 FR 1971 (January 11, 2011).
[[Page 11759]]
On February 24, 2011, the ITC notified the Department of its final
determination pursuant to sections 705(b)(1)(A)(ii) and 705(d) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), that an industry in the
United States is threatened with material injury by reason of
subsidized imports of subject merchandise from the PRC. The ITC also
determined that critical circumstances do not exist. See Drill Pipe and
Drill Collars from China, Investigation Nos. 701-TA-474 and 731-TA-1176
(Final), USITC Publication 4213 (February 2011). Pursuant to section
706(a) of the Act, the Department is publishing a countervailing duty
order on the subject merchandise.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order 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,

Countervailing Duty Order
According to section 706(b)(2) of the Act, duties shall be assessed
on subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication of the ITC's notice of
final determination if that determination is based upon the threat of
material injury. Section 706(b)(1) of the Act states, ``{i{time} f the
Commission, in its final determination under section 705(b), finds
material injury or threat of material injury which, but for the
suspension of liquidation under section 703(d)(2), would have led to a
finding of material injury, then entries of the merchandise subject to
the countervailing duty order, the liquidation of which has been
suspended under section 703(d)(2), shall be subject to the imposition
of countervailing duties under section 701(a).'' In addition, section
706(b)(2) of the Act requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
to refund any cash deposits or bonds of estimated countervailing duties
posted before the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative
determination, if the ITC's final determination is based on threat
other than the threat described in section 706(b)(1) of the Act.
Because the ITC's final determination in this case is based on the
threat of material injury and is not accompanied by a finding that
injury would have resulted but for the imposition of suspension of
liquidation of entries since the Department's Preliminary Determination
\1\ was published in the Federal Register, section 706(b)(2) of the Act
is applicable.

\1\ See Drill Pipe From the People's Republic of China:
Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 75 FR
33245 (June 11, 2010) (Preliminary Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of the ITC's determination and in accordance with
section 706(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will direct CBP to assess,
upon further instruction by the Department, countervailing duties equal
to the amount of the net countervailable subsidy for all relevant
entries of drill pipe from the PRC. In accordance with section 706 of
the Act, the Department will direct CBP to reinstitute suspension of
liquidation,\2\ effective on the date of publication of the ITC's
notice of final determination in the Federal Register, and to require a
cash deposit for each entry of subject merchandise in an amount equal
to the net countervailable subsidy rates listed below. See section
706(a)(3) of the Act. The all others rate applies to all producers and
exporters of subject merchandise not specifically listed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Department instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension
of liquidation on October 9, 2010, in accordance with section 703(d)

Termination of the Suspension of Liquidation
As a result of our affirmative critical circumstances finding on
the DP Master Group and all other companies, CBP suspended liquidation
and collected cash deposits or bonds on all entries by these companies
made 90 days prior to our affirmative Preliminary Determination.
The Department will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation for entries of drill pipe from the PRC, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption prior to the publication of
the ITC's notice of final determination. The Department will also
instruct CBP to refund any cash deposits made and release any bonds
with respect to entries of drill pipe entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse,
[[Page 11760]]
for consumption on or after March 13, 2010 (i.e., 90 days prior to the
date of publication of the Preliminary Determination), but before the
date of publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal
Register.
This notice constitutes the countervailing duty order with respect
to drill pipe from the PRC, pursuant to section 706(a) of the Act.
