Enterprise, Including Real Estate (BE–

Assists or Intervenes in the Acquisition

of a U.S. Business Enterprise by, or Who

Enters Into a Joint Venture With, a

Foreign Person (BE–14).

Form Number(s): BE–13 and BE–14.

Agency Approval Number: 0608–

Number of Respondents: 1,200.

Government requires data from the BE–

amount of new foreign direct

investment in the United States,

monitor changes in such investment,

assess its impact on the U.S. economy,

and based upon this assessment, make

informed policy decisions regarding

foreign direct investment in the United

States. State governments use the data to

assess the impact of foreign direct

investment on individual States, in

advising foreign investors seeking to

invest in the United States, and in

developing State policies related to

foreign direct investment. The data are

also used to update data on the universe

of foreign-owned U.S. affiliates on a

continuous basis to ensure that it is

complete, and to determine whether

new affiliates exceed the exemption

criteria required for reporting in related

benchmark surveys, and annual and

quarterly cut-off sample surveys of

foreign direct investment conducted by

BEA.

The data from the BE–13 survey

complement data from BEA’s other

ongoing surveys of foreign direct

investment in the United States, namely

the BE–605 and BE–605 Bank quarterly

surveys of transactions of U.S. affiliates

with their foreign parents, and the BE–

12 (benchmark) and BE–15 (annual)

surveys, which provide data on the

overall operations of U.S. affiliates.

other for-profit institutions.

Frequency: One-time survey.

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

Legal Authority: Title 22 U.S.C.,

3101–3108, as amended.

Certain Circular Welded Carbon Steel

Pipes and Tubes From Taiwan: Final

Results of Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of

antidumping duty administrative

review.

SUMMARY: On June 7, 2000, the

Department of Commerce (the

Department) published the preliminary

results of review of the antidumping

duty order on certain circular welded

carbon steel pipes and tubes from

Taiwan (65 FR 36110). The review

covers one manufacturer/exporter of the

subject merchandise to the United

States and the period May 1, 1998

through April 30, 1999. The

manufacturer covered is Yieh Hsing

Enterprise Co. Ltd. (Yieh Hsing). This

review originally covered seven firms;

however, we rescinded the review with

respect to six of these companies at the

preliminary results. Based on our

analysis of the comments received, we

have made changes in the margin

calculations. Therefore, the final results

differ from the preliminary results. The

final weighted-average dumping margin

for the reviewed firm is listed below in

the section entitled ‘‘Final Results of

Review.’’

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 12, 2000.
