Oil Country Tubular Goods From India, the Republic of Korea, the 
Republic of Turkey, Ukraine, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 
Continuation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of 
Commerce (Commerce) and the International Trade Commission (ITC) that 
the revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on certain oil 
country tubular goods (OCTG) from India, the Republic of Korea (Korea), 
the Republic of Turkey (Turkey), Ukraine, and the Socialist Republic of 
Vietnam (Vietnam) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on OCTG from 
India and Turkey would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of 
dumping or countervailable subsidies, and of material injury to an 
industry in the United States. Commerce is publishing a notice of 
continuation of these AD and CVD orders.

DATES: Applicable August 12, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In 2014, Commerce published the AD orders on OCTG from India, 
Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam and the CVD orders on OCTG from India and 
Turkey; in 2019, Commerce published the AD order on OCTG from 
Ukraine.\1\ On February 5, 2019, the ITC instituted,\2\ and on June 4, 
2019 Commerce initiated,\3\ the five-year (sunset) reviews of the AD 
and CVD orders on OCTG from India, Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, and Vietnam, 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act). As a result of its reviews, Commerce determined that revocation 
of the Orders would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence 
of dumping or the continuation or recurrence of countervailable 
subsidies, and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 
margins of dumping and the net subsidy rates likely to prevail should 
the Orders be revoked.\4\ On August 3, 2020, the ITC published its 
determinations, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that 
revocation of the Orders would likely lead to continuation or 
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States 
within a reasonably foreseeable time.\5\
