of, and rationale for, the survey will be
sent to potential respondents by the first
week of October in 2014 and by August
of 2015 and 2016. A report of the
respondent’s expenditures of the NIH
award amounts, including NIH awards
received as a sub-recipient from another
institution, following the proposed
format for expenditure categories
attached to the survey’s cover letter, will
be requested to be returned no later than
December 8, which in most years will be
approximately 120 days after mailing.
Survey respondents will be selected on
the basis of award levels, which
determine the weight of the respondent
in the biomedical research and
development price index. BEA proposes
to survey 150 organizations that receive
NIH biomedical research awards. This
will include the top 100 organizations
in total awards received; 40 additional
organizations that are not primarily in
the ‘‘Research and Development (R&D)
contracts’’ category; and 10 additional
organizations that are primarily in the
‘‘R&D contracts’’ category. Based on
awards data for FY 2009 by type of
organization, the top 100 organizations
received $16.2 billion in awards
(approximately 73 percent of total
awards); the remaining awards-receiving
organizations received $6.0 billion.
Affected Public: Universities or other
organizations that are NIH award
recipients.
Frequency: Annual.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

Background
On July 18, 2014, the Department
published its final determination of
sales at less than fair value in the
antidumping duty investigation of
certain oil country tubular goods from
Taiwan.1 On July 21, 2014, Tension
Steel Industries Co., Ltd. (Tension),
submitted a ministerial error allegation.
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by the
investigation is certain oil country
tubular goods (OCTG), which are hollow
steel products of circular cross-section,
including oil well casing and tubing, of
iron (other than cast iron) or steel (both
carbon and alloy), whether seamless or
welded, regardless of end finish (e.g.,
whether or not plain end, threaded, or
threaded and coupled) whether or not
conforming to American Petroleum
Institute (API) or non-API
specifications, whether finished
(including limited service OCTG
products) or unfinished (including
green tubes and limited service OCTG
products), whether or not thread
protectors are attached. The scope of the

Amendment to the Final Determination
A ‘‘ministerial error’’ is defined under
19 CFR 351.224(f) as: An error in
addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
E:\FR\FM\08AUN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 153 / Friday, August 8, 2014 / Notices
duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error
which the Secretary considers
ministerial. See also section 735(e) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
On July 21, 2014, Tension submitted
a ministerial error allegation. After
analyzing Tension’s allegation, we agree
with Tension that the Department
committed a ministerial error within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(f) by using
an incorrect variable name for U.S.
rebates. Specifically, we meant to set
certain U.S. rebates to zero but
inadvertently did not because we made
a typographical error in the variable
name in the programming.2 Correcting
this error results in the weightedaverage dumping margin for Tension
changing from 2.52 percent to 2.34
percent.
Amended Final Determination
The Department determines that the
following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period July 1, 2012,
through June 30, 2013:

Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
continue to suspend liquidation of all
entries of certain oil country tubular
goods from Taiwan—with the exception
of subject merchandise produced and
exported by Chung Hung Steel Corp., for
which we found no weighted average
dumping margin—which were entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication of the Final Determination.
With the exception of subject
merchandise produced and exported by
Chung Hung Steel Corp., we will
instruct CBP to require a cash deposit
equal to the weighted-average amount
by which normal value exceeds U.S.
price, as follows: (1) The rate for

be the rate we determined in this
amended final determination; (2) if the
exporter is not a firm identified in this
investigation but the producer is, the
rate will be the rate established for the
producer of the subject merchandise; (3)
the rate for all other producers or
exporters will be 2.34 percent, as
discussed in the ‘‘All Others Rate’’
section, below. These suspension of
liquidation instructions will remain in
effect until further notice.
All Others Rate
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act
provides that the estimated ‘‘all others’’
rate shall be an amount equal to the
weighted average of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins
established for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any
zero or de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely under
section 776 of the Act. Because the
margin for Chung Hung Steel Corp. was
zero, we assigned as the all others rate
the margin calculated for Tension, the
only margin we calculated that was
neither de minimis nor determined
under section 776 of the Act; that rate
is 2.34 percent.
U.S. International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) of
the Final Determination and our
amended final determination. As the
Final Determination (and amended final
determination) was affirmative and our
amended preliminary determination
was negative, in accordance with
section 735(b)(3) of the Act, the ITC will
determine within 75 days of the Final
Determination whether the domestic
industry in the United States is
materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, by reason of imports or
sales (or the likelihood of sales) for
importation of the subject merchandise.
If the ITC determines that such injury
exists, the Department will issue an
antidumping duty order directing CBP
to assess, upon further instruction by
the Department, antidumping duties on
all imports of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the effective
date of the suspension of liquidation.
This amended final determination
notice is published in accordance with
section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(e).

[[Page 46404]]
duplication, or the like, and any other similar type of unintentional

On July 21, 2014, Tension submitted a ministerial error allegation.
After analyzing Tension's allegation, we agree with Tension that the

351.224(f) by using an incorrect variable name for U.S. rebates.
Specifically, we meant to set certain U.S. rebates to zero but

All Others Rate
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated ``all
others'' rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the
estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters
and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero or de
minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 776

assigned as the all others rate the margin calculated for Tension, the
only margin we calculated that was neither de minimis nor determined
under section 776 of the Act; that rate is 2.34 percent.
U.S. International Trade Commission Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) of the Final Determination and our
amended final determination. As the Final Determination (and amended
final determination) was affirmative and our amended preliminary
determination was negative, in accordance with section 735(b)(3) of the
Act, the ITC will determine within 75 days of the Final Determination
whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially
