COMMISSION 

[Investigation Nos. 731–TA–707–709 

(Second Review)] 

Certain Seamless Carbon and Alloy 

Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure 

Pipe From Argentina, Brazil, and 

Germany 

Determination 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject five-year reviews, the 

United States International Trade 

Commission (Commission) determines, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)) (the 

Act), that revocation of the antidumping 

duty orders on certain seamless carbon 

and alloy steel standard, line, and 

pressure pipe from Argentina and Brazil 

would not be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time.2 The Commission also determines 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on certain seamless carbon and 

alloy steel standard, line, and pressure 

pipe from Germany would be likely to 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.3

Background 

The Commission instituted these 

reviews on June 1, 2006 (71 FR 31209) 

and determined on September 5, 2006 

that it would conduct full reviews (71 

FR 54520, September 15, 2006). Notice 

of the scheduling of the Commission’s 

reviews and of a public hearing 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 on 

September 29, 2006 (71 FR 57567). The 

hearing was held in Washington, DC, on 

February 8, 2007, and all persons who 

requested the opportunity were 

permitted to appear in person or by 

counsel. 

The Commission transmitted its 

determination in these reviews to the 

Secretary of Commerce on May 2, 2007. 

The views of the Commission are 

contained in USITC Publication 3918 

(May 2007), entitled Certain Seamless 

Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, 

and Pressure Pipe from Argentina, 

Brazil, and Germany. 

Issued: May 3, 2007. 

By order of the Commission.

applications for electronic surveillance, 

physical search, and other foreign 

intelligence and foreign 

counterintelligence investigations

Surveillance Court (FISC) pursuant to 

the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance 

Act of 1978, as amended, 50 U.S.C. 1801 

et seq. (FISA), Executive Order 12333, 

and other applicable executive orders 

governing foreign intelligence; 

individuals about whom information 

was obtained by a foreign intelligence 

electronic surveillance or other search 

where issues pertaining to the 

surveillance or search were raised in 

subsequent litigation; individuals whose 

activities are the subject of a properly 

authorized foreign intelligence, foreign 

counterintelligence, or international 

terrorism investigation, or investigative 

techniques not requiring approval from 

the FISC or whose activities form the 

crux of a foreign intelligence or 

counterintelligence policy or 

operational question; individuals who 

are not the subjects or proposed subjects 

of particular investigations or 

investigative techniques, but who are 

identified in connection with the 

authorities for such investigations or 

techniques, because of their 

communications or associations with 

such subjects or their involvement in 

related activities of foreign intelligence 

or counterintelligence (including 

counterterrorism) interest; and NSD 

attorneys. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

The system consists of FISA 

applications, authorizations for foreign 

intelligence and foreign 

counterintelligence operations, 

supporting documentation, and FISC 

orders or Attorney General 

certifications, as appropriate. This 

includes notes, memoranda, legal 

opinions, and reports acquired or 

produced by the National Security 

Division (NSD) in the course of 

executing its assigned functions of 

preparing FISA applications. Included

3103, 3105 and 28 CFR 0.72, to 

implement the provisions of 50 U.S.C. 

1801 et seq. as amended and the 

applicable executive order(s) governing 

foreign intelligence surveillance and 

classified national security information. 

PURPOSE OF THE SYSTEM: 

This system is maintained to enable 

NSD staff to prepare applications under 

FISA; maintain an accurate record of 

applications filed by the United States 

before the FISC; participate in the 

review, development, implementation 

and oversight of United States 

intelligence, counterintelligence, and 

national security policy matters; provide 

legal advice to the Attorney General and 

the United States intelligence agencies 

regarding questions of law and policy 

that relate to United States intelligence 

activities; support litigation issues

I. To such recipients and under such 

circumstances and procedures as are 

mandated by federal statute or treaty. 

J. To appropriate agencies, entities, 

and persons when (1) the Department 

suspects or has confirmed that the

SYSTEM NAME: 

Registration and Informational 

Material Files Under the Foreign Agents 

Registration Act of 1938. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Sensitive but Unclassified. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

U.S. Department of Justice; National 

Security Division; 950 Pennsylvania 

Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20530. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Persons who have registered under 

the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 

1938, as amended, (FARA), 22 U.S.C. 

611 et seq., and persons referenced in 

correspondence or other files related to 

FARA. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

(1) Automated alphabetical indices 

which include summary data such as 

registrant names, file numbers, dates of 

registration, and a synopsis of activities 

performed for a given foreign principal; 

and (2) file folders which contain copies 

of all registration statements and 

statements concerning the distribution 

of informational materials furnished 

under FARA. 

Other records related to subject 

matters described in this system may 

include related correspondence, 

inspection and/or investigative reports, 

and/or statements of any agent of a 

foreign principal whose activities have 

ceased to be of a character which 

requires registration under FARA. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

This system is established and 

maintained pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 611 et 

seq. The system is also maintained to 

implement the provisions of 28 CFR 

0.72 and 28 CFR Part 5. 

PURPOSE OF THE SYSTEM: 

The system is maintained to enable 

the Registration Unit, Counterespionage 

Section, National Security Division, to 

implement the various provisions of the 

Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, 

as amended, 22 U.S.C. 611 et seq. The 

system provides for the public 

examination of the registration 

statements filed by foreign agents 

engaged in activities for or on behalf of 

foreign governments, foreign political 

parties, or other foreign principals. 

Public examination helps to insure that 

the U.S. Government and the people of 

the United States are informed of the 

source of information and the identity of 

persons attempting to influence U.S. 

public opinion, policy, and laws. 

As prescribed by 22 U.S.C. 616(a), (b), 

and (c), the records in this system that 

are public records are open to public
