SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—In July 2008, the 

Commission determined that an 

industry in the United States was 

materially injured by reason of 

subsidized imports of light-walled 

rectangular pipe and tube (‘‘LWR pipe 

and tube’’) from China, and imports of 

LWR pipe and tube from China, Korea, 

and Mexico that were found to be sold 

at less than fair value. Nacional de 

Acero S. A. De C. V. subsequently 

challenged the Commission’s 

determination concerning imports from 

Mexico, under the binational panel 

procedures set out in Chapter 19 of the 

North American Free Trade Agreement 

(‘‘NAFTA’’). 

A NAFTA Panel issued an opinion in 

the matter on November 26, 2010. In its 

opinion, the Panel remanded the matter 

to the Commission with instructions 

that the Commission address: 

(I) the relationship between the 2008 

announced price increases and the 

pendency of the investigation, and 

(II) the Complainant’s attempt to rebut 

the presumption that any market 

changes in 2008 were the result of the 

filing of the petition and Commerce’s 

preliminary affirmative determinations. 

In all other respects the Panel affirmed 

the Commission’s opinion. 

Participation in the proceeding.— 

Only those persons who were both 

interested parties to the original 

investigation (i.e., persons listed on the 

Commission Secretary’s service list) and 

who participated in the NAFTA Chapter 

19 panel proceeding may participate in 

the remand proceeding. Business 

proprietary information (‘‘BPI’’) referred 

to during the remand proceeding will be 

governed, as appropriate, by the 

administrative protective order issued 

in the original investigation. 

Written Submissions.—The 

Commission is not reopening the record 

in this proceeding for submission of 

new factual information. The 

Commission will, however, permit 

parties to file comments pertaining to 

the issues on which the Panel has 

remanded this matter. These comments 

must be limited to the precise issues in 

the Panel’s remand instructions quoted 

above, and must be based solely on the 

information already in the 

Commission’s record and may not 

include additional factual information. 

The deadline for filing comments is 

January 7, 2011. Comments shall be 

limited to no more than ten (10) doublespaced and single-sided pages of textual 

material. 

All written submissions must conform 

with the provisions of section 201.8 of 

the Commission’s rules; any 

submissions that contain BPI must also 

conform with the requirements of 

sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the 

Commission’s rules. The Commission’s 

rules do not authorize filing of 

submissions with the Secretary by 

facsimile or electronic means, except to 

the extent permitted by section 201.8 of 

the Commission’s rules, as amended, 67 

FR 68036 (November 8, 2002). 

In accordance with sections 201.16(c) 

and 207.3 of the Commission’s rules, 

each document filed by a party to the 

NAFTA Chapter 19 panel proceeding 

must be served on all other such parties, 

and a certificate of service must be 

timely filed. The Secretary will not 

accept a document for filing without a 

certificate of service. 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: December 23, 2010. 

Marilyn R. Abbott, 

Secretary to the Commission.
