Amendment to the Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value of
OCTG From Vietnam
On July 18, 2014, the Department
published its affirmative final
determination of sales at LTFV of OCTG
from Vietnam.5 On July 21, 2014, U.S.
Steel Corporation submitted allegations
of two ministerial errors.6
After analyzing the allegations, the
Department determined, in accordance
with section 735(e) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.224(f), that it made the alleged
ministerial errors. Specifically, the
Department unintentionally failed to (1)
apply the revised usage factors for
unreported yield loss to the total price
of hot-rolled coil (i.e., the price of hotrolled coil including brokerage and
handling costs and import fees), and (2)
use the usage factor for emulsified oil
that the respondent provided in its
opening-day corrections at verification.
Based on our correction of these errors,
the respondent’s estimated weightedaverage dumping margin increased from
24.22 percent to 25.18 percent.7
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we have notified the ITC of the
Vietnam Final Determination and our
amended final determination.
Antidumping Duty Orders
As stated above, on September 2,
2014, in accordance with section 735(d)
of the Act, the ITC notified the
Department of its final determinations
in its investigations, in which it found
that an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports
of OCTG from India, Korea, Turkey, and
Vietnam, and threatened with material
injury by reason of imports of OCTG

Ronald K. Lorentzen, ‘‘Less-Than-Fair-Value
Investigation of Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods
from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Allegations

also received a request from SeAH Steel VINA
Corporation (SeAH VINA) to correct certain alleged
errors. See Letter from SeAH VINA to the
Department, ‘‘Re: Antidumping Investigation of Oil
Country Tubular Goods from Vietnam—Request for
Correction of Egregious Misstatements of Fact and

ministerial in nature and have not made any
changes based on this request. See Ministerial
Errors Memorandum at 4–5.

from Taiwan.8 Because the ITC
determined that imports of OCTG from
India, Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, and
Vietnam are materially injuring or
threatening with material injury a U.S.
industry, unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from India, Korea, Taiwan,
Turkey, and Vietnam, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption are subject to the
assessment of antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by the Department,
antidumping duties equal to the amount
by which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price
(or constructed export price) of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of
OCTG from India, Korea, Taiwan,
Turkey, and Vietnam. These
antidumping duties will be assessed on
unliquidated entries of OCTG from
India, Turkey, and Vietnam entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after February 25,
2014, the date of publication of the
preliminary determinations,9 but will
not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures
period and before publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination as
further described below. Antidumping
duties will also be assessed on
unliquidated entries of OCTG from
Korea entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
July 18, 2014, the date of publication of
the final determination.10

Pursuant to section 736(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 on the threat of
material injury, other than threat of
material injury described in section
736(b)(1) of the Act.11 In addition,
section 736(b)(2) of the Act requires CBP
to release any bond or other security,
and refund any cash deposit made of
estimated antidumping duties posted
since the Department’s preliminary
antidumping duty determination.
Because the ITC’s final determination
with respect to Taiwan 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, section
736(b)(2) of the Act is applicable.
However, following publication of its
amended preliminary determination of
sales at not LTFV for OCTG from
Taiwan, the Department directed CBP to
terminate suspension of liquidation and
release any cash deposits posted.12
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct
CBP to continue to suspend liquidation
on all entries of OCTG from India,
Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam, with the
exception of those for firms for which
the Department’s final determination
was negative. We will also instruct CBP
to suspend liquidation on all
unliquidated entries of OCTG from
Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication of the ITC’s
the preliminary determination because the
Department did not make an affirmative
preliminary determination of sales at LTFV with
respect to OCTG from Korea. See Certain Oil

ITC, in its final determination under section 735(b),
finds material injury or threat of material injury
which, but for the suspension of liquidation under
section 733(d)(2) would have led to a finding of
material injury, then entries of the subject
merchandise, the liquidation of which has been

to the imposition of antidumping duties under

notice of final determination of threat of
material injury in the Federal Register,
with the exception of entries for that
firm for which the Department’s final
determination was negative.13 These
instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice.
We will also instruct CBP to require
cash deposits at rates equal to the
estimated weighted-average dumping
margins indicated below. Accordingly,
effective on the date of publication of
the ITC’s final affirmative injury
determinations, CBP will require, at the
same time as importers would normally
deposit estimated duties on this subject
merchandise, a cash deposit at rates
equal to the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins listed below.14 The
relevant all-others rate (for India, Korea,
Taiwan, and Turkey) or the rate for the
Vietnam-wide entity (for Vietnam), as
applicable, apply to all producers or
exporters not specifically listed. For the
purpose of determining cash deposit
rates, the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins for imports of subject
merchandise from India and Turkey will
be adjusted, as appropriate, for export
subsidies found in the final
determination of the companion
countervailing duty investigations of
this merchandise imported from India
or Turkey.15
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise
request the Department to extend that
four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that
account for a significant proportion of
OCTG from India, Turkey, and Vietnam,
we extended the four-month period to
no more than six months in each case.16
As noted above, in the investigations
covering OCTG from India, Turkey, and
Vietnam, the Department published the
preliminary determinations on February
25, 2014. Therefore, the six-month
period beginning on the date of
publication of the preliminary
determinations ended on August 24,
53693
2014 (i.e., the last day of that six-month
period is August 23, 2014).
Furthermore, section 737(b) of the Act
states that definitive duties are to begin
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final injury determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice, we
will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of OCTG from India, Turkey, and
Vietnam, entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
August 24, 2014, the date the
provisional measures expired, until and
through the day preceding the date of
publication of the ITC’s final injury
determinations in the Federal Register.
Suspension of liquidation resumes on
the date of publication of the ITC’s final
determination in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.210(c), on July 18, 2014,
the Department published affirmative final determinations of sales at
LTFV in the investigations of OCTG from India, Korea, Taiwan, Turkey,
and Vietnam.\1\ On August 8, 2014, the Department published an amended
final determination of sales at LTFV in the investigation of OCTG from
Taiwan.\2\ On September 2, 2014, the ITC notified the Department of its
affirmative determinations that an industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the
Act by reason of LTFV imports of OCTG from India, Korea, Turkey, and
Vietnam, and threatened with material injury within the meaning of
section 735(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act by reason of LTFV imports of OCTG
from Taiwan.\3\ In addition, the ITC found in its final determinations
that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to imports of
subject merchandise from Turkey and Vietnam that are subject to the
Department's final affirmative critical circumstances findings.\4\

Amendment to the Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value
of OCTG From Vietnam
On July 18, 2014, the Department published its affirmative final
determination of sales at LTFV of OCTG from Vietnam.\5\ On July 21,
2014, U.S. Steel Corporation submitted allegations of two ministerial
errors.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Vietnam Final Determination.
\6\ See Letter from U.S. Steel Corporation to the Department,
``Re: Oil Country Tubular Goods from Vietnam'' dated July 21, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After analyzing the allegations, the Department determined, in
accordance with section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), that
it made the alleged ministerial errors. Specifically, the Department
unintentionally failed to (1) apply the revised usage factors for
unreported yield loss to the total price of hot-rolled coil (i.e., the
price of hot-rolled coil including brokerage and handling costs and
import fees), and (2) use the usage factor for emulsified oil that the
respondent provided in its opening-day corrections at verification.
Based on our correction of these errors, the respondent's estimated
weighted-average dumping margin increased from 24.22 percent to 25.18
percent.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Memorandum from Christian Marsh to Ronald K. Lorentzen,
``Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation of Certain Oil Country Tubular
Goods from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Allegations of
Ministerial Errors,'' dated August 11, 2014 (Ministerial Errors
Memorandum). The Department also received a request from SeAH Steel
VINA Corporation (SeAH VINA) to correct certain alleged errors. See
Letter from SeAH VINA to the Department, ``Re: Antidumping
Investigation of Oil Country Tubular Goods from Vietnam--Request for
Correction of Egregious Misstatements of Fact and Law in Final
Determination,'' dated July 21, 2014. We determined that the alleged
errors were not ministerial in nature and have not made any changes
based on this request. See Ministerial Errors Memorandum at 4-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we have notified the
ITC of the Vietnam Final Determination and our amended final
determination.
Antidumping Duty Orders
As stated above, on September 2, 2014, in accordance with section
735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified the Department of its final
determinations in its investigations, in which it found that an
industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of
imports of OCTG from India, Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam, and threatened
with material injury by reason of imports of OCTG from Taiwan.\8\
Because the ITC determined that imports of OCTG from India, Korea,
Taiwan, Turkey, and Vietnam are materially injuring or threatening with
material injury a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from India, Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, and Vietnam, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption are subject to the assessment
of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Letter from the ITC to the Department, dated September
2, 2014; see also Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from India,
Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam
(Investigation Nos. 701-TA-499-500 and 731-TA-1215-1217 and 1219-
1223 (Final), USITC Publication 4489, September 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the
Department will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties
equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of OCTG from India, Korea,
Taiwan, Turkey, and Vietnam. These antidumping duties will be assessed
on unliquidated entries of OCTG from India, Turkey, and Vietnam
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
February 25, 2014, the date of publication of the preliminary
determinations,\9\ but will not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of
the ITC's final injury determination as further described below.
Antidumping duties will also be assessed on unliquidated entries of
OCTG from Korea entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption
on or after July 18, 2014, the date of publication of the final
determination.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part, and Postponement of Final Determination, 79 FR 10493 (February

Note that entries for Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret
and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret will not be subject to assessment of
antidumping duties because the Department's final determination with
respect to that firm was negative. See Turkey Final Determination at
41973.
\10\ The Department did not direct CBP to suspend liquidation of
any entries of OCTG from Korea at the preliminary determination
because the Department did not make an affirmative preliminary
determination of sales at LTFV with respect to OCTG from Korea. See
Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods From the Republic of Korea:
Negative Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value,
Negative Preliminary Determination of Critical Circumstances and
Postponement of Final Determination, 79 FR 10480 (February 25,
2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to section 736(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 on the threat of
material injury, other than threat of material injury described in
section 736(b)(1) of the Act.\11\ In addition, section 736(b)(2) of the
Act requires CBP to release any bond or other security, and refund any
cash deposit made of estimated antidumping duties posted since the
Department's preliminary antidumping duty determination. Because the
ITC's final determination with respect to Taiwan 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, section
736(b)(2) of the Act is applicable. However, following publication of
its amended preliminary determination of sales at not LTFV for OCTG
from Taiwan, the Department directed CBP to terminate suspension of
liquidation and release any cash deposits posted.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ Section 736(b)(1) of the Act states that ``{i{time} f the
ITC, in its final determination under section 735(b), finds material
injury or threat of material injury which, but for the suspension of
liquidation under section 733(d)(2) would have led to a finding of
material injury, then entries of the subject merchandise, the
liquidation of which has been suspended under section 733(d)(2),
shall be subject to the imposition of antidumping duties under
section 731.''
\12\ See Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods From Taiwan: Amended
Preliminary Negative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value
and Postponement of Final Determination, 79 FR 18667 (April 3,
2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will
instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all entries of OCTG
from India, Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam, with the exception of those for
firms for which the Department's final determination was negative. We
will also instruct CBP to suspend liquidation on all unliquidated
entries of OCTG from Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication of the ITC's
[[Page 53693]]
notice of final determination of threat of material injury in the
Federal Register, with the exception of entries for that firm for which
the Department's final determination was negative.\13\ These
instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ Entries for Chung Hung Steel Corp will not be subject to
assessment of antidumping duties because the Department's final
determination with respect to that firm was negative. See Taiwan
Amended Final Determination, 79 FR at 46404.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits at rates equal
to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated below.
Accordingly, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final
affirmative injury determinations, CBP will require, at the same time
as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this subject
merchandise, a cash deposit at rates equal to the estimated weighted-
average dumping margins listed below.\14\ The relevant all-others rate
(for India, Korea, Taiwan, and Turkey) or the rate for the Vietnam-wide
entity (for Vietnam), as applicable, apply to all producers or
exporters not specifically listed. For the purpose of determining cash
deposit rates, the estimated weighted-average dumping margins for
imports of subject merchandise from India and Turkey will be adjusted,
as appropriate, for export subsidies found in the final determination
of the companion countervailing duty investigations of this merchandise
imported from India or Turkey.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See section 736(a)(3) of the Act.
\15\ See India Final Determination, 79 FR at 41982-3 and Turkey
Final Determination, 79 FR at 41972-3, respectively. See also

Countervailing Duty Determination and Partial Final Affirmative
Determination of Critical Circumstances, 79 FR 41967 (July 18, 2014)

Goods From the Republic of Turkey: Final Affirmative Countervailing
Duty Determination and Final Affirmative Critical Circumstances
Determination, 79 FR 41964 (July 18, 2014) (Turkey CVD Final
Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant
to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect
for more than four months except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
the Department to extend that four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant
proportion of OCTG from India, Turkey, and Vietnam, we extended the
four-month period to no more than six months in each case.\16\ As noted
above, in the investigations covering OCTG from India, Turkey, and
Vietnam, the Department published the preliminary determinations on
February 25, 2014. Therefore, the six-month period beginning on the
date of publication of the preliminary determinations ended on August
24, 2014 (i.e., the last day of that six-month period is August 23,
2014). Furthermore, section 737(b) of the Act states that definitive
duties are to begin on the date of publication of the ITC's final
injury determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ We also extended the provisional measures period at the
preliminary determination in the investigation of OCTG from Taiwan.
However, as explained above, we later published an amended
preliminary determination of sales at not LTFV for OCTG from Taiwan,
and directed CBP to terminate suspension of liquidation. Therefore,
the issue of provisional measures for OCTG from Taiwan is moot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of OCTG from India, Turkey, and Vietnam, entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 24,
2014, the date the provisional measures expired, until and through the
day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final injury
determinations in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation
resumes on the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in
the Federal Register.
