Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by the order is certain OCTG. The merchandise subject to the order is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States HTSUS
under item numbers: 7304.29.10.10, 7304.29.10.20, 7304.29.10.30, 7304.29.10.40, 7304.29.10.50, 7304.29.10.60, 7304.29.10.80, 7304.29.20.10, 7304.29.20.20, 7304.29.20.30, 7304.29.20.40, 3 See Memorandum, Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews in Response to Operational Adjustments Due to COVID19, dated April 24, 2020.
4 See Memorandum, Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, dated July 22, 2020.
Commerces practice dictates that, where a deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is the next business day. See Notice of Clarification: Application of Next Business Day Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 May 10, 2005.
Therefore, because the fully extended deadline would normally be January 17, 2021, but that date is a Sunday, and January 18, 2021, is a federal holiday, the current deadline is Tuesday, January 19, 2021.

Methodology Commerce conducted this review in accordance with sections 751a1B
and 751a2A of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended the Act. Constructed export prices have been calculated in accordance with section 772b of the Act. Because Vietnam is a non-market economy NME within the meaning of section 77118 of the Act, NV has been calculated in accordance with section 773c of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

separate rate status in an NME
proceeding.6 It is Commerces policy to assign all exporters of the merchandise subject to review in NME countries a single rate unless an exporter can affirmatively demonstrate an absence of government control, both in law de jure and in fact de facto, with respect to exports. To establish whether a company is sufficiently independent to be entitled to a separate, companyspecific rate, Commerce analyzes each exporting entity in an NME country under the test established in Sparklers,7
as further developed by Silicon Carbide.8 However, if Commerce determines that a company is wholly foreign-owned, then an analysis of the de jure and de facto criteria is not necessary to determine whether it is independent from government control.9
For these Preliminary Results, Commerce determines that the evidence placed on the record of this review by SSV demonstrates an absence of de jure and de facto government control. We have received no other separate rate applications.
Vietnam-Wide Entity Commerces policy regarding conditional review of the Vietnam-wide entity applies to this administrative review.10 Under this policy, the Vietnam-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the Vietnam-wide entity in this review, the entity is not under review and the entitys rate i.e., 111.47 percent 11 is not subject to change.
