Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective January 10, 
2001, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Berg Steel Pipe Corp. (Panama City, FL); American Steel 
Pipe Division of American Cast Iron Pipe Co. (Birmingham, AL); and 
Stupp Corp. (Baton Rouge, LA). The final phase of the investigation was 
scheduled by the Commission following notification of a preliminary 
determination by Commerce that imports of certain welded large diameter 
line pipe from Japan were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of 
section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the 
scheduling of the Commission's investigation and of a public hearing to 
be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the 
notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade 
Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal 
Register of July 9, 2001 (66 FR 35811). The hearing was held in 
Washington, DC, on October 9, 2001, and all persons who requested the 
opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determination in the investigation 
to the Secretary of Commerce on October 25, 2001. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3464 (November 2001), 
entitled Certain Welded Large Diameter Line Pipe from Japan: 
Investigation No. 731-TA-919 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
