SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—The Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) issued 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

orders on imports of welded stainless 

steel pressure pipe from China on 

March 17, 2009 (74 FR 11351) and 

March 19, 2009 (74 FR 11712), 

respectively. Following Commerce’s and 

the Commission’s first five-year reviews, 

Commerce issued a continuation of the 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

orders on imports of welded stainless 

steel pressure pipe from China effective 

July 23, 2014 (79 FR 42760) and August 

12, 2014 (79 FR 47089), respectively. 

Following Commerce’s and the 

Commission’s second five-year reviews 

of the antidumping and countervailing 

duty orders concerning welded stainless 

steel pressure pipe from China, 

Commerce issued continuation orders 

effective December 6, 2019 (84 FR 

66883). 

On July 21, 2014, Commerce issued 

antidumping duty orders on imports of 

welded stainless steel pressure pipe 

from Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam 

(79 FR 42289). Following Commerce’s 

and the Commission’s first five-year 

reviews of the antidumping duty orders 

concerning welded stainless steel 

pressure pipe from Malaysia, Thailand, 

and Vietnam, Commerce issued 

continuation orders effective December 

3, 2019 (84 FR 66154). 

The Commission is now conducting 

third five-year reviews of the 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

orders concerning welded stainless steel 

pressure pipe from China and second 

five-year reviews of the antidumping 

duty orders concerning welded stainless 

steel pressure pipe from Malaysia, 

Thailand, and Vietnam pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Act, as amended 

(19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to determine 

whether revocation of the orders would 

be likely to lead to continuation or 

recurrence of material injury to the 

domestic industry within a reasonably 

foreseeable time. Provisions concerning 

the conduct of this proceeding may be 

found in the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR part 

201, subparts A and B, and 19 CFR part 

207, subparts A and F. The Commission 

will assess the adequacy of interested 

party responses to this notice of 

institution to determine whether to 

conduct full or expedited reviews. The 

Commission’s determinations in any 

expedited reviews will be based on the 

facts available, which may include 

information provided in response to this 

notice. 

Definitions.—The following 

definitions apply to these reviews: 

(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or 

kind of merchandise that is within the 

scope of the five-year reviews, as 

defined by Commerce. 

(2) The Subject Countries in these 

reviews are China, Malaysia, Thailand, 

and Vietnam. 

(3) The Domestic Like Product is the 

domestically produced product or 

products which are like, or in the 

absence of like, most similar in 

characteristics and uses with, the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 212 / Friday, November 1, 2024 / Notices 87417 

Subject Merchandise. In its original 

determinations and its previous 

expedited five-year review 

determinations concerning China, 

Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, the 

Commission defined a single Domestic 

Like Product consisting of welded 

stainless steel pressure pipe, 

coextensive with Commerce’s scope. 

(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. 

producers as a whole of the Domestic 

Like Product, or those producers whose 

collective output of the Domestic Like 

Product constitutes a major proportion 

of the total domestic production of the 

product. In its original determinations 

and its previous expedited five-year 

review determinations concerning 

China, Malaysia, Thailand, and 

Vietnam, the Commission defined the 

Domestic Industry as all U.S. producers 

of welded stainless steel pressure pipe. 

(5) An Importer is any person or firm 

engaged, either directly or through a 

parent company or subsidiary, in 

importing the Subject Merchandise into 

the United States from a foreign 

manufacturer or through its selling 

agent. 

Participation in the proceeding and 

public service list.—Persons, including 

industrial users of the Subject 

Merchandise and, if the merchandise is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations, wishing to 

participate in the proceeding as parties 

must file an entry of appearance with 

the Secretary to the Commission, as 

provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the 

Commission’s rules, no later than 21 

days after publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. The Secretary will 

maintain a public service list containing 

the names and addresses of all persons, 

or their representatives, who are parties 

to the proceeding. 

Former Commission employees who 

are seeking to appear in Commission 

five-year reviews are advised that they 

may appear in a review even if they 

participated personally and 

substantially in the corresponding 

underlying original investigation or an 

earlier review of the same underlying 

investigation. The Commission’s 

designated agency ethics official has 

advised that a five-year review is not the 

same particular matter as the underlying 

original investigation, and a five-year 

review is not the same particular matter 

as an earlier review of the same 

underlying investigation for purposes of 

18 U.S.C. 207, the post-employment 

statute for Federal employees, and 

Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR 

201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014), 

73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008). 

Consequently, former employees are not 

required to seek Commission approval 

to appear in a review under Commission 

rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the 

corresponding underlying original 

investigation or an earlier review of the 

same underlying investigation was 

pending when they were Commission 

employees. For further ethics advice on 

this matter, contact Charles Smith, 

Office of the General Counsel, at 202– 

205–3408. 

Limited disclosure of business 

proprietary information (BPI) under an 

administrative protective order (APO) 

and APO service list.—Pursuant to 

§ 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the 

Secretary will make BPI submitted in 

this proceeding available to authorized

days after publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. Authorized 

applicants must represent interested 

parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), 

who are parties to the proceeding. A 

separate service list will be maintained 

by the Secretary for those parties 

authorized to receive BPI under the 

APO.

the Commission’s rules, any person 

submitting information to the

internal investigations, audits, reviews, 

and evaluations relating to the 

programs, personnel, and operations of 

the Commission including under 

5 U.S.C. appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. 

Government employees and contract

duty order on imports of malleable iron 

pipe fittings from China (68 FR 69376). 

Commerce issued a continuation of the 

antidumping duty order on imports of 

malleable iron pipe fittings from China 

following Commerce’s and the 

Commission’s first five-year reviews, 

effective April 22, 2009 (74 FR 18349), 

second five-year reviews, effective 

August 12, 2014 (79 FR 47089), and 

third five-year reviews, effective 

December 4, 2019 (84 FR 66375). The 

Commission is now conducting a fourth 

review pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to 

determine whether revocation of the 

order would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to the domestic industry within 

a reasonably foreseeable time. 

Provisions concerning the conduct of 

this proceeding may be found in the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts 

A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts 

A and F. The Commission will assess 

the adequacy of interested party 

responses to this notice of institution to 

determine whether to conduct a full or 

expedited review. The Commission’s 

determination in any expedited review 

will be based on the facts available, 

which may include information 

provided in response to this notice. 

Definitions.—The following 

definitions apply to this review: 

(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or 

kind of merchandise that is within the 

scope of the five-year review, as defined 

by Commerce. 

(2) The Subject Country in this review 

is China. 

(3) The Domestic Like Product is the 

domestically produced product or 

products which are like, or in the 

absence of like, most similar in 

characteristics and uses with, the 

Subject Merchandise. In its original 

determination and its expedited first, 

second, and third five-year review 

determinations, the Commission 

defined a single Domestic Like Product 

as malleable iron pipe fittings, other 

than grooved fittings, coextensive with 

Commerce’s scope. 

(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. 

producers as a whole of the Domestic 

Like Product, or those producers whose 

collective output of the Domestic Like 

Product constitutes a major proportion 

of the total domestic production of the 

product. In its original determination 

and its expedited first, second, and third 

five-year review determinations, the 

Commission defined the Domestic 

Industry as all producers of malleable 

iron pipe fittings. 

(5) An Importer is any person or firm 

engaged, either directly or through a 

parent company or subsidiary, in 

importing the Subject Merchandise into 

the United States from a foreign 

manufacturer or through its selling 

agent. 

Participation in the proceeding and 

public service list.—Persons, including 

industrial users of the Subject 

Merchandise and, if the merchandise is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations, wishing to 

participate in the proceeding as parties 

must file an entry of appearance with 

the Secretary to the Commission, as 

provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the 

Commission’s rules, no later than 21 

days after publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. The Secretary will 

maintain a public service list containing 

the names and addresses of all persons, 

or their representatives, who are parties 

to the proceeding.
