Notice of Amended Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review: Certain Welded Carbon Steel Pipe and Tube From 
Turkey

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 16, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gabriel Adler at (202) 482-1442 or 
Kris Campbell at (202) 482-3813, Office of Antidumping/Countervailing 
Duty Enforcement, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective 
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). In addition, unless otherwise 
indicated, all citations to the Department's regulations are to the 
current regulations, as amended by the interim regulations published in 
the Federal Register on May 11, 1995 (60 FR 25130).

Amended Final Results

    On December 31, 1996, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the final results of its administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain welded carbon steel pipe and tube 
(pipe and tube) from Turkey, for the period of review (POR) May 1, 
1994, through April 30, 1995 (61 FR 69067). On April 7, 1997, the 
Department published a notice of amended final results of 
administrative review, correcting several clerical errors in the 
calculation of the antidumping margin for the Borusan Group (Borusan) 
(62 FR 16547). On April 11, 1997, Borusan filed a timely allegation, 
pursuant to 19 CFR 353.28, that a ministerial error had been made in 
the calculation of the amended final results. Specifically, Borusan 
alleged that, in amending its final results to correct certain cost 
data, the Department failed to re-run the portion of the computer 
program that contained the cost test, and instead relied on a database 
of above-cost sales that did not incorporate the corrections to the 
cost data.
    We have determined that the April 7, 1997, amended final results of 
review contain the ministerial error alleged by Borusan. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 353.28(c), we are 
further amending the final results of administrative review of steel 
pipe and tube from Turkey for the period May 1, 1994, through April 30, 
1995, to correct this ministerial error.

Scope of the Review

    Imports covered by this review are shipments of certain welded 
carbon steel pipe and tube products with an outside diameter of 0.375 
inch or more but not over 16 inches, of any wall thickness. These 
products are currently classifiable under the following Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 
7306.30.10.00, 7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32, 7306.30.50.40, 
7306.30.50.55, 7306.30.50.85, and 7306.30.50.90. These products, 
commonly referred to in the industry as standard pipe and tube, are 
produced to various American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) 
specifications, most notably A-120, A-53 or A-135.
    Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and 
customs purposes, our written description of the scope of this 
proceeding is dispositive.

Amended Final Results of Review

    Upon correction of the above-cited ministerial error, we have 
determined that the following margins exist for the period indicated:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                 Margin 
           Manufacturer/exporter                Time period      percent
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Borusan Group..............................     5/1/94-4/30/95      2.57
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department shall determine, and the Customs Service shall 
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Individual 
differences between United States price and normal value may vary from 
the percentages stated above. The Department will issue appraisement 
instructions directly to the Customs Service.
    We will direct the Customs Service to collect cash deposits of 
estimated antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in accordance 
with the procedures discussed in the final results of the review (61 FR 
69067) and as amended by this determination. The amended deposit 
requirements are effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication of this notice and shall remain in effect until 
publication of the final results of the next administrative review.
    This notice reminds importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 
353.26 to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping 
duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review 
period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the 
Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties 
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also reminds parties subject to administrative 
protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or 
destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in 
accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Failure to comply is a violation of 
the APO.
    This administrative review and notice are in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 353.28.

    Dated: May 9, 1997.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
