SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective August 27, 2018, the Commission
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of
its investigations on large diameter welded (LDW) pipe from Canada,
China, Greece, India, Korea, and Turkey,\1\ following preliminary
determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') that
certain benefits which constitute subsidies within the meaning of
section 703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b) are being provided to
manufacturers, producers, or exporters in China, India, Korea, and
Turkey of large diameter welded (LDW) pipe, and that such products from
Canada, China, Greece, India, Korea, and Turkey are being sold in the
United States at less than fair value (LTFV) within the meaning of
section 733 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b).\2\ Notice of the scheduling
of the final phase of the Commission's investigations and of a public
hearing 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 on September 6, 2018 (83 FR 45279). The hearing was held in
Washington, DC, on November 6, 2018, and all persons who requested the
opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel. Following
affirmative final determinations by Commerce regarding LTFV and
subsidized imports of LDW pipe from China and India, the Commission
issued its final determinations that an industry in the United States
was materially injured by reason of LTFV and subsidized imports of LDW
line pipe from India; that an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of LTFV and subsidized imports of LDW
structural pipe from China; and that an industry in the United States
is threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV imports of LDW
line pipe from China. Further, the Commission has terminated the
countervailing duty investigation on
[[Page 8893]]
LDW line pipe from China and the antidumping and countervailing duty
investigations on LDW structural pipe from India. Finally, the
Commission has determined that an industry in the United States is not
materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV
and subsidized imports of stainless steel LDW pipe from China and
India.

Commerce has issued final affirmative determinations with respect
to LTFV imports of LDW pipe from Canada,\3\ Greece,\4\ Korea,\5\ and
Turkey,\6\ and imports of LDW pipe subsidized by the governments of
Korea\7\ and Turkey.\8\ Accordingly, the Commission currently is
issuing a supplemental schedule for its investigations on LTFV imports
of LDW pipe from Canada, Greece, Korea, and Turkey, and on imports of
LDW pipe subsidized by the governments of Korea and Turkey. This
supplemental schedule is as follows: the deadline for filing
supplemental party comments on Commerce's final antidumping and
countervailing duty determinations is March 11, 2019. Supplemental
party comments may address only Commerce's final determinations
regarding LTFV imports of LDW pipe from Canada, Greece, Korea, and
Turkey and imports of LDW pipe subsidized by the governments of Korea
and Turkey. These supplemental final comments may not contain new
factual information and may not exceed five (5) pages in length. The
supplemental staff report in the final phase of these investigations
regarding subject imports from Canada, Greece, Korea, and Turkey will
be placed in the nonpublic record on March 21, 2019; and a public
version will be issued thereafter.
