    On November 1, 2006, the Department initiated and the ITC 
instituted sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on welded 
large diameter pipe from Japan and Mexico, pursuant to section 751(c) 
of the Act. See Initiation of Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 71 FR

    On October 16, 2007, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c)

continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. The ITC notified 
the Department on October 16, 2007, and published its decision on 
October 22, 2007. See Certain Welded Large Diameter Line Pipe from 
Japan and Mexico, 72 FR 59551 (October 22, 2007), and ITC Publication
