In response to a request by S.C. Silcotub S.A. (Silcotub), a producer/exporter of subject merchandise, the Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain small diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line and pressure pipe (seamless pipe) from Romania. The period of review (POR) is February 4, 2000, through July 31, 2001. We preliminarily find that sales have not been made below normal value (NV). If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of administrative review, we will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to assess no antidumping duties on the subject merchandise exported by Silcotub and entered during the POR. The Department also is now conducting an inquiry into Romania's status as a nonmarket economy country under section 771(18)(C)(ii) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
