ACTION: Termination of review. SUMMARY: On December 26, 2006, the Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) published notice in the **Federal Register** of its determination that revocation of the countervailing duty (“CVD”) order on oil country tubular goods (“OCTG”) from Italy would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy.

Accordingly, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), the five-year review of the countervailing duty order concerning OCTG from Italy (investigation No. 701-TA-364 (Second Review)) is terminated.
