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

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.
