Jindal Pipes Limited should be treated as a single entity 
(collectively, GVN or the GVN single entity). The sections of the 
Amended Final Determination and Amended Order explaining the suspension 
of liquidation and listing the weighted-average antidumping duty 
margins and cash deposit rates should have appeared as provided below.

Correction to the Amended Order
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Cash deposit rates are lower than estimated weighted-average 
dumping margins due to offsets for export subsidies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amendment of the Order on OCTG From India
    The period to appeal the Court of International Trade's decision 
has passed, and a final and conclusive court decision has been reached 
in this case. Therefore, the Department is amending the antidumping 
duty order \8\ on OCTG from India to exclude from the order subject 
merchandise produced and exported by the GVN single entity (comprised 
of GVN Fuels Limited, Maharashtra Seamless Limited and Jindal Pipes 
Limited) \9\ because the revised weighted-average dumping margin for 
the GVN single entity is de minimis. This exclusion does not apply to 
merchandise produced by the GVN single entity and exported by any other 
company (outside the GVN single entity) or merchandise produced by any 
other company and exported by the GVN single entity. Resellers of 
merchandise produced by the GVN single entity, are also not entitled to 
this exclusion.

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation, In Part

    In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department 
has instructed CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant 
entries of OCTG from India.\10\ These instructions suspending 
liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. However, 
because the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for merchandise 
produced and exported by the GVN single entity is de minimis, the 
Department is directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate 
all entries produced and exported by the GVN single entity currently 
suspended without regard to antidumping duties, and to not to suspend 
liquidation of entries of subject merchandise where the GVN single 
entity acted as both the producer and exporter. Entries of subject 
merchandise exported to the United States by any other producer and 
exporter combination involving the GVN single entity are not entitled 
to this exclusion from suspension of liquidation and are subject to the 
cash deposit rate for the all-others entity.
