INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-671-672 and 731-TA-1571-1573 (Final)]


Oil Country Tubular Goods From Argentina, Mexico, Russia, and 
South Korea

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of oil country tubular goods from Argentina and 
Mexico provided for in subheadings 7304.29, 7305.20, and 7306.29 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found 
by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the 
United States at less than fair value (``LTFV''); by reason of imports 
of oil country tubular goods from Russia that have been found by 
Commerce to be sold in the United States at LTFV and subsidized by the 
government of Russia; and by reason of imports of oil country tubular 
goods from South Korea that have been found by Commerce to be 
subsidized by the government of South Korea.2 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ 87 FR 59041, 59045, 59047, 59054, and 59056 (September 29, 
2022).
    \3\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determinations are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty 
orders on oil country tubular goods from Mexico and Russia.

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective October 6, 
2021, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Borusan Mannesmann Pipe U.S., Inc., Baytown, Texas; PTC 
Liberty Tubulars LLC, Liberty, Texas; U.S. Steel Tubular Products, 
Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Welded Tube USA, Inc., Lackawanna, New 
York; and the United States Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, 
Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers 
International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The final 
phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following 
notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of 
oil country tubular goods from Russia were subsidized within the 
meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and 
preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of oil country 
tubular goods from Argentina, Mexico, and Russia were sold at LTFV 
within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)).\4\ Notice 
of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigations 
and of a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register on June 9, 2022 (87 FR 35246). The 
Commission conducted its hearing on September 22, 2022. All persons who 
requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
