SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to the Department's regulations are to the regulations as 
codified at 19 CFR part 351 (April 1998).

Background

    The Department of Commerce (Department) has received a timely 
request from Atlas Tube, Inc. (Atlas), to conduct a new shipper 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on oil country 
tubular goods from Canada in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of 
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.214(b) of the Department's regulations.

Initiation of Review

    In its request of December 30, 1998, Atlas certified that it did 
not export the subject merchandise to the United States during the 
period of investigation (POI), and it has not been affiliated with any 
exporter or producer who exported the subject merchandise to the United 
States during the POI. Accompanying its request, Atlas provided 
certifications which indicate the date the merchandise was first 
entered for consumption in the United States, the volume of the first 
and the subsequent shipments and the date of the first sale to an 
unaffiliated customer in the United States.
    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(d), we are initiating a new shipper review of the antidumping 
duty order on oil country tubular goods from Canada. Since this new 
shipper review was requested in the six-month period following the 
anniversary month of the order and is being initiated in the month 
immediately following the semiannual anniversary month, the period of 
review will be June 1, 1998 to November 30, 1998. See 19 CFR 
351.214(g)(1). We intend to issue the preliminary results of the review 
not later than 180 days from the publication of this notice.
