(a) Maquilacero S.A. de C.V. - 22.62% (2.40%)
(b) Regiomontana de Perfiles y Tubos S.A. de C.V. - 9.48% (3.76%)

Maquilacero and Regiomontana are the mandatory respondents in this review, and the DOC calculated dumping margins for them. The dumping margin for the remaining companies is a simple average of the margins for the mandatory respondents.
The DOC plans to complete this review by January 2011, and the current dumping duty deposit rates will remain in effect until the DOC's final results are published in the Federal Register.
