Department of Commerce May 2, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from Japan in response to a request by United States Steel Corporation, one of the petitioners in the original investigation (Petitioner). Petitioner requested administrative reviews of JFE Steel Corporation (JFE), Nippon Steel Corporation (Nippon), NKK Tubes (NKK) and Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. (SMI). This review covers sales of subject merchandise to the United States during the period of August 1, 2005 through July 31, 2006. We preliminarily determine that all four companies had no reviewable sales of subject merchandise to the United States during the period of review (POR). Accordingly, we preliminarily determine that the review of these four companies should be rescinded in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. See ``Intent to Rescind the Administrative Review'' section of this notice.

On February 26, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published in the Federal Register its preliminary results of the new shipper review of the countervailing duty (``CVD'') order on certain welded carbon steel standard pipe from Turkey for the period January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2005. The Department preliminarily found that Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S. and its affiliated export trading company, Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S. (collectively referred to as ``Toscelik''), the producer/exporter of subject merchandise covered by this review, received countervailable subsidies during the period of review (``POR''). We did not receive any comments on our preliminary results and have made no revisions to those results.
