SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 22, 2008, the Department published antidumping duty (AD) 
and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on CWP imports from China.\1\ The 
Government of China (GOC) challenged the CWP orders and three other 
sets of simultaneously imposed AD and CVD orders before the WTO's 
Dispute Settlement Body. The WTO Appellate Body in March 2011 found 
that the United States had acted inconsistently with its international 
obligations in several respects, including the potential imposition of 
overlapping remedies, or so-called ``double remedies.'' \2\ The U.S. 
Trade Representative announced the United States' intention to comply 
with the WTO's rulings and recommendations, and the Department 
initiated a section 129 proceeding.\3\

Quality Steel Pipe from the People's Republic of China, 73 FR 42547

People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty

(collectively, CWP orders).

Countervailing Duties on Certain Products from China, 611, WT/DS379/
AB/R (Mar. 11, 2011).

Republic of China, 77 FR 52683 (August 30, 2012) (Implementation 
Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 31, 2012, the Department issued its final determination 
memorandum in the section 129 CVD proceeding on, inter alia, the double 
remedies issue.\4\ Based on its analysis of broad manufacturing-level 
information, the Department found that an adjustment was warranted to 
the antidumping duty on U.S. CWP imports from China to account for 
remedies that overlap those imposed by the CVD order.\5\ On August 30, 
2012, acting at the direction of the U.S. Trade Representative pursuant 
to section 129, the Department published a notice implementing that 
final determination.\6\

Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to

    Plaintiff Wheatland Tube Company, Consolidated Plaintiff-Intervenor 
United States Steel Corporation, and Consolidated Plaintiff-Intervenors 
Allied Tube and Conduit and TMK IPSCO (collectively, the Domestic 
Interested Parties), challenged the Department's determination at the 
CIT.
    On November 26, 2014, the Court remanded the section 129 Final 
Determination to the Department for further consideration of the 
finding that certain countervailable subsidies reduced the average 
price of U.S. CWP imports, such that the reduction warranted an 
adjustment to the companion AD rates under section 777A(f) of the 
Act.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Wheatland Tube Company v. United States, Slip Op. 14-
137, Consol. Court No. 12-00298 (CIT November 26, 2014) (Remand 
Order). The manner in which the Department applied that adjustment 
in the companion AD proceeding is the subject of Wheatland Tube 
Company v. United States, Consol. Court No. 12-00296, which has been 
stayed pending resolution of the litigation that is the subject of 
this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Following the CIT's issuance of the Remand Order, the Department 
released a questionnaire to the original respondents in the CWP CVD 
investigation to obtain information necessary for its analysis under 
the Remand Order.\8\ The Department also issued copies of the 
questionnaire to the GOC and its counsel in the section 129 
proceeding.\9\ Neither mandatory respondent nor the GOC, however, filed 
a response to this questionnaire or comments.

    Pursuant to the Remand Order, the Department reconsidered its 
finding regarding the respondents' eligibility for

companion AD rates under section 777(A)(f)(1)(b) of the Act.\10\
