INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-549 and 731-TA-1299-1303 (Preliminary)]


Circular Welded Carbon-Quality Steel Pipe From Oman, Pakistan, 
the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of circular 
welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Oman, Pakistan, the United Arab 
Emirates, and Vietnam, provided for in subheadings 7306.19.10, 
7306.19.51, 7306.30.10, 7306.30.50, 7306.50.10, and 7306.50.50 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are allegedly 
sold in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV''), and that 
are allegedly subsidized by the government of Pakistan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Commission also found that imports of circular welded carbon-
quality steel pipe from the Philippines are negligible pursuant to 
section 771(24) of the Act, and its investigation with regard to 
imports from this country

[[Page 79094]]

is thereby terminated pursuant to section 733(a)(1) of the Act.

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations on circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from 
Oman, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam. The Commission 
will issue a final phase notice of scheduling, which will be published 
in the Federal Register as provided in section 207.21 of the 
Commission's rules, upon notice from the Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary determinations in the 
investigations under sections 703(b) or 733(b) of the Act, or, if the 
preliminary determinations are negative, upon notice of affirmative 
final determinations in those investigations under sections 705(a) or 
735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries of appearance in the 
preliminary phase of the investigations need not enter a separate 
appearance for the final phase of the investigations. Industrial users, 
and, if the merchandise under investigation is sold at the retail 
level, representative consumer organizations have the right to appear 
as parties in Commission antidumping and countervailing duty 
investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list 
containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their 
representatives, who are parties to the investigations.

Background

    On October 28, 2015, Bull Moose Tube Company (Chesterfield, 
Missouri); EXLTUBE (N. Kansas City, Missouri); Wheatland Tube, a 
division of JMC Steel Group (Chicago, Illinois); and Western Tube and 
Conduit (Long Beach, California) filed a petition with the Commission 
and Commerce, alleging that an industry in the United States is 
materially injured and threatened with material injury by reason of 
imports of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Oman, 
Pakistan, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam, that 
are alleged to be sold in the United States at LTFV and alleged to be 
subsidized by the government of Pakistan. Accordingly, effective 
October 28, 2015, the Commission, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 
733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)), 
instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-549 and 
antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1299-1303 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference to be 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 of November 3, 2015 (80 FR 67790). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on November 18, 2015, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
703(a) and 733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 
1673b(a)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on December 14, 2015. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 4586 (December 2015), entitled Circular 
Welded Carbon-Quality Steel Pipe from Oman, Pakistan, the Philippines, 
the United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-549 
and 731-TA-1299-1303 (Preliminary).
