[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-525 and 731-TA-1260-1261 (Final)]

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject

(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the

reason of imports of certain welded line pipe from Korea and Turkey, 
provided for in subheadings 7305.11, 7305.12, 7305.19, and 7306.19, 
that have been found by the Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be 
sold in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV''), and that 
have been found by Commerce to be subsidized by the government of 
Turkey.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

from Korea and Turkey were dumped within the meaning of 733(b) of the 
Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)) and preliminary determination by Commerce that 
imports of certain welded line pipe from Turkey were subsidized within
