SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On March 3, 2014, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) initiated the first five-year (‘‘sunset’’) review of the antidumping duty order on certain steel threaded rod from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’).1 As a result of its review, the Department determined that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain steel threaded rod from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail should the order be revoked.2 On August 8, 2014, the ITC published its determination, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on certain steel threaded rod from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.3 tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by the Order is steel threaded rod. Steel threaded rod is certain threaded rod, bar, or studs, of carbon quality steel, having a solid, circular cross section, of any diameter, in any straight length, that have been forged, turned, cold-drawn, cold-rolled, machine straightened, or otherwise cold-finished, and into which threaded grooves have been applied. In addition, the steel threaded rod, bar, or studs subject to the order are nonheaded and threaded along greater than 25 percent of their total length. A variety of finishes or coatings, such as plain oil finish as a temporary rust protectant, zinc coating (i.e., galvanized, whether by electroplating or hotdipping), paint, and other similar finishes and coatings, may be applied to the merchandise. 1 See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 79 FR 11762 (March 3, 2014) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’); see also Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the People’s Republic of China, 74 FR 17154 (April 14, 2009) (‘‘Order’’). 2 See Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 79 FR 36288 (June 26, 2014). 3 See Steel Threaded Rod from China, 79 FR 46450 (August 8, 2014). VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:30 Aug 18, 2014 Jkt 232001 Included in the scope of the Order are steel threaded rod, bar, or studs, in which: (1) Iron predominates, by weight, over each of the other contained elements; (2) the carbon content is 2 percent or less, by weight; and (3) none of the elements listed below exceeds the quantity, by weight, respectively indicated: • 1.80 percent of manganese, or • 1.50 percent of silicon, or • 1.00 percent of copper, or • 0.50 percent of aluminum, or • 1.25 percent of chromium, or • 0.30 percent of cobalt, or • 0.40 percent of lead, or • 1.25 percent of nickel, or • 0.30 percent of tungsten, or • 0.012 percent of boron, or • 0.10 percent of molybdenum, or • 0.10 percent of niobium, or • 0.41 percent of titanium, or • 0.15 percent of vanadium, or • 0.15 percent of zirconium.

Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise is dispositive. Excluded from the scope of the Order are: (a) threaded rod, bar, or studs which are threaded only on one or both ends and the threading covers 25 percent or less of the total length; and (b) threaded rod, bar, or studs made to American Society for Testing and Materials (‘‘ASTM’’) A193 Grade B7, ASTM A193 Grade B7M, ASTM A193 Grade B16, or ASTM A320 Grade L7. Continuation of the Order As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department hereby orders the continuation of the antidumping order on certain steel threaded rod from the PRC. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping duty cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of the continuation of the order will be the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of continuation. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department intends to initiate the next five-year review of the order not later than 30 days prior to the fifth PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 49051 anniversary of the effective date of continuation.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) received and reviewed a ministerial error allegation based on its Final Determination of the sales at less than fair value investigation of oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from Saudi Arabia.1 Based on the analysis of this allegation, we made changes to the margin calculation for Jubail Energy Services Company (JESCO). Because the revised margin is de minimis, we are terminating this investigation and ordering termination of the suspension of liquidation.

On July 28, 2014, Petitioners submitted rebuttal comments.3 Based on the analysis of this allegation, we made changes to the margin calculation for JESCO. Period of Investigation The period of investigation is July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013. Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this 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 investigation also covers OCTG coupling stock. For a complete description of the scope of the investigation, see Appendix I to this notice. Amended Final Determination Margins After analyzing the allegation and the submissions of the parties, we determine in accordance with section 735(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.224(e) that we made ministerial errors in the margin calculation for JESCO. For a detailed discussion of the ministerial error allegations and the Department’s analysis, see Memorandum to Ronald K. Lorentzen, entitled ‘‘Ministerial Error Memorandum in the Less than Fair Value Investigation of Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from Saudi Arabia,’’ dated concurrently with this notice. A list of the topics included in the Ministerial Error Memorandum is included as Attachment II to this notice.

In addition, a complete version of the Ministerial Error Memorandum can be accessed directly at https:// enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed and electronic versions of the Ministerial Error Memorandum are identical in content. We are amending the final determination of the antidumping duty investigation of OCTG from Saudi Arabia to reflect the correction of the above-cited ministerial error. As a result of correcting the ministerial error in the Final Determination, the revised final weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: Weighted-average dumping margin Exporter or producer Jubail Energy Services Company ................................................................................................................................................ All Others .....................................................................................................................................................................................

Amended Final Determination and Termination of the Investigation 
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods 
From Saudi Arabia

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) received and 
reviewed a ministerial error allegation based on its Final 
Determination of the sales at less than fair value investigation of oil 
country tubular goods (OCTG) from Saudi Arabia.\1\ Based on the 
analysis of this allegation, we made changes to the margin calculation 
for Jubail Energy Services Company (JESCO). Because the revised margin 
is de minimis, we are terminating this investigation and ordering 
termination of the suspension of liquidation. A discussion of the 
allegation and the final weighted-average dumping margin can be found 
below in the section entitled ``Amended Final Determination.''

Period of Investigation

    The period of investigation is July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013.

Scope of the Investigation

    The merchandise covered by this 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 
investigation also covers OCTG coupling stock. For a complete 
description of the scope of the investigation, see Appendix I to this 
notice.

Amended Final Determination Margins

    After analyzing the allegation and the submissions of the parties, 
we determine in accordance with section 735(e) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.224(e) that we made 
ministerial errors in the margin calculation for JESCO. For a detailed 
discussion of the ministerial error allegations and the Department's 
analysis, see Memorandum to Ronald K. Lorentzen, entitled ``Ministerial 
Error Memorandum in the Less than Fair Value Investigation of Certain 
Oil Country Tubular Goods from Saudi Arabia,'' dated concurrently with 
this notice. A list of the topics included in the Ministerial Error 
Memorandum is included as Attachment II to this notice. The Ministerial 
Error Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via 
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS). IA ACCESS is 
available to registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov and it is 
available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the 
main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version 
of the Ministerial Error Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed and electronic versions of the 
Ministerial Error Memorandum are identical in content.
    We are amending the final determination of the antidumping duty 
investigation of OCTG from Saudi Arabia to reflect the correction of 
the above-cited ministerial error. As a result of correcting the 
ministerial error in the Final Determination, the revised final 
weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:

 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Exporter or producer            Weighted-average dumping margin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jubail Energy Services Company........  de minimis.
All Others............................  N/A.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 
weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the producers or 
exporters individually examined, excluding rates that are zero, de 
minimis or determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Because we 
calculated a weighted-average dumping margin for the only mandatory 
respondent (JESCO) that was de minimis, we assigned no rate to all 
other producers and exporters.

Termination of Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with sections 735(a)(4) and 735(c)(2)(A) and (B) of 
the Act, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
terminate the suspension of liquidation on all entries of OCTG from 
Saudi Arabia and to refund any cash deposits previously required under 
section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act.

ITC Notification

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we notified the ITC 
of our amended negative final determination.

Publication

    This amended final determination is published in accordance with 
sections 735(d) and (e) of the Act.

     Dated: August 11, 2014.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
