and Antidumping Duty Orders on Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of 
expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (19 U.S.C. Sec.  1675(c)(3)) (the Act) to determine whether 
revocation of the countervailing and antidumping duty orders on 
circular welded carbon quality steel line pipe from China would be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within 
a reasonably foreseeable time. For further information concerning the 
conduct of these reviews and rules of general application, consult the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A 
through E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 
CFR part 207).

DATES: Effective Date: March 7, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background.--On March 7, 2014, the Commission determined that the 
domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution 
(78 F.R. 72114, December 2, 2013) of the subject five-year reviews was 
adequate and that the respondent interested party group response was 
inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that 
would warrant

conducting full reviews.\1\ Accordingly, the Commission determined that 
it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the 
Act.2 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's 
statement on adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements 
will be available from the Office of the Secretary and at the 
Commission's Web site.
    \2\ Commissioner Shara L. Aranoff did not participate in these 
adequacy determinations.
    \3\ The Commission has the authority to toll statutory deadlines 
during a period when the government is closed. Because the 
Commission was closed on December 10, 2013, and on January 21, 
February 13, and March 3, 2014 due to inclement weather in 
Washington, DC, the statutory deadline may be tolled by up to four 
days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Staff report.--A staff report containing information concerning the 
subject matter of the reviews will be placed in the nonpublic record on 
April 4, 2014, and made available to persons on the Administrative 
Protective Order service list for these reviews. A public version will 
be issued thereafter, pursuant to section 207.62(d)(4) of the 
Commission's rules.
    Written submissions.--As provided in section 207.62(d) of the 
Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews 
and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of 
institution,\4\ and any party other than an interested party to the 
reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what 
determination the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are 
due on or before April 9, 2014, and may not contain new factual 
information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year 
reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement 
(which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the 
reviews by April 9, 2014. However, should the Department of Commerce 
extend the time limit for its completion of the final results of its 
reviews, the deadline for comments (which may not contain new factual 
information) on Commerce's final results is three business days after 
the issuance of Commerce's results. If comments contain business 
proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements 
of sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The 
Commission's Handbook on E-Filing, available on the Commission's Web 
site at http://edis.usitc.gov, elaborates upon the Commission's rules 
with respect to electronic filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Commission has found the responses submitted by the 
domestic interested parties to be individually adequate. Comments 
from other interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 
207.62(d)(2)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each 
document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all other 
parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or BPI 
service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The 
Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate 
of service.

    Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of 
title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published 
pursuant to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: March 18, 2014.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
