International Trade Administration January 11, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On November 3, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from Brazil. The review covers one producer/exporter of the subject merchandise, Villares Metals S.A. (VMSA). The period of review is February 1, 2009, through January 31, 2010. We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on our preliminary results. We received no comments on our preliminary results. The final weighted-average dumping margin for VMSA is listed below in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.

On August 18, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') published in the Federal Register the Preliminary Determination of sales at less-than-fair-value (``LTFV'') and critical circumstances, in part, in the antidumping investigation of drill pipe from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'').\1\ The period of investigation (``POI'') is April 1, 2009, through September 30, 2009. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes to the margin calculation for DP-Master Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Jiangyin Liangda Drill Pipe Co., Ltd. (collectively ``the DP-Master Group''), Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (``Baoshan''), and Shanxi Yida Special Steel Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd. (``Yida''). We continue to find that drill pipe from the PRC is being, or is likely to be, sold in the United States at LTFV as provided in section 735 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). The estimated margins of sales at LTFV are shown in the ``Final Determination Margins'' section of this notice.
