Determinations

On the basis of the record ^[1] developed in the subject five-year reviews, the United States International Trade Commission (Commission) determines, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)) (the Act), that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on oil country tubular goods from Argentina, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Mexico would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the industries in the United States producing oil country tubular goods other than drill pipe (“casing and tubing”) and, with respect to Japan, drill pipe, within a reasonably foreseeable time.^[2]
