its final determination until not later
than 135 days after the date of the
publication of the preliminary
determination in the Federal Register.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.210(b)(2)(i), because our amended
preliminary determination is negative
and no compelling reasons for denial
exist, we are granting this petitioner’s

Register on February 25, 2014.
Suspension of Liquidation
We will instruct the U.S. Customs and
Border Protection to terminate the

cash deposits posted. These instructions
will remain in effect until further notice.
International Trade Commission (ITC)
Notification
In accordance with section 733(f) of
the Act, we notified the International
Trade Commission (ITC) of our
amended preliminary determination. If
our final determination is affirmative,
the ITC will make its final
determination as to whether the
domestic industry in the United States
is materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports of
OCTG, or sales (or the likelihood of
sales) for importation, of the
merchandise under investigation,
within 45 days of our final
determination.
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
733(f) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
