account for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise, or in
the event of a negative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by the petitioner.
Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s
regulations requires that a request by
exporters for postponement of the final
determination be accompanied by a
request for extension of provisional
measures from a four-month period to a
period not more than six months in
duration.
On February 12, 2020, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii) and 19 CFR
351.210(e)(2), OCTAL requested that,
contingent upon an affirmative
preliminary determination of sales at
LTFV, Commerce postpone the final
determination, and that provisional
measures be extended to a period not to
exceed six months. In addition, on
February 14, 2020, the petitioners 8
requested that Commerce fully postpone
the deadline for the final determination
in this investigation. In accordance with
section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The
preliminary determination is
affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters
account for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise; and
(3) no compelling reasons for denial
exist, Commerce is postponing the final
determination and extending the
provisional measures from a four-month
period to a period not greater than six
months. Accordingly, Commerce will
make its final determination no later
than 135 days after the date of
publication of this preliminary
determination.
Dated: February 25, 2020.

Company. Eight component parts of
tubular connectors used with oil
country tubular goods for offshore oil
and gas drilling and extraction (OCTG
connectors) are not covered by the scope
of the antidumping duty order on forged
steel fittings from Italy because these

from the Dominican Republic that are
manufactured from window frame
extrusions produced in the People’s
Republic of China (China) are within the
scope of the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders on
aluminum extrusions from China
because: (1) Their physical
characteristics meet the criteria for
being subject to the orders; and (2) the
processing performed in the Dominican
Republic does not substantially
transform the product and, therefore,
China is the country of origin; October

are outside the scope of the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders on forged steel fittings from
China and the antidumping duty orders
of forged steel fittings from Italy and
Taiwan because they are used to

A-475-839: Forged Steel Fittings From Italy
Requestor: Vetco Gray Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Baker
Hughes, a GE Company. Eight component parts of tubular connectors used
with oil country tubular goods for offshore oil and gas drilling and
extraction (OCTG connectors) are not covered by the scope of the

these parts are made to comply with a Vetco proprietary standard, are

People's Republic of China
A-570-967 and C-570-968: Aluminum Extrusions From the People's Republic

Requestor: Air Master Awning LLC. Aluminum jalousie shutters
exported from the Dominican Republic that are manufactured from window
frame extrusions produced in the People's Republic of China (China) are
within the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on
aluminum extrusions from China because: (1) Their physical
characteristics meet the criteria for being subject to the orders; and
(2) the processing performed in the Dominican Republic does not
substantially transform the product and, therefore, China is the
country of origin; October 15, 2019.
A-570-943 and C-570-944: Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods From the
People's Republic of China
On July 22, 2019, the United States Court of International Trade
issued its final judgment in Bell Supply Co. v. United States, Court
No. 14-00066, affirming Commerce's remand redetermination concerning
the final scope ruling, which found that seamless unfinished OCTG from
China finished in third countries is not substantially transformed by
the third country processing and is therefore covered by the scope of
the Orders. There is now a final court decision, applicable August 1,
2019, with respect to the Bell Supply Scope Ruling; October 15, 2019.

A182, are outside the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty
orders on forged steel fittings from China and the antidumping duty
orders of forged steel fittings from Italy and Taiwan because they are
used to connect hoses and tubes that convey noncorrosive fluid through
machines and therefore differ from the subject merchandise, which is
