BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

International Trade Administration 

Notice of Health and Safety Guidelines 

for Official ITA Trade Missions 

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The United States Department 

of Commerce, International Trade 

Administration, intends to resume inperson trade missions, where possible, 

beginning March 2022. These trade 

missions will be organized and carried 

out with basic health and safety 

precautions in place for attendees in 

response to COVID–19. 

Background 

The International Trade 

Administration (ITA) intends to resume 

in-person trade missions, where 

possible, beginning March 2022. Since 

the beginning of the global pandemic, 

ITA has been closely monitoring 

COVID–19 developments and continues 

to plan in-person trade missions for 

future dates. As those mission dates 

approach, ITA will decide on each 

mission on a case-by-case basis to allow 

mission teams to evaluate the health 

and safety circumstances of the event 

and determine whether to move forward 

as-is, postpone, convert to virtual or 

hybrid, or cancel the mission. In the 

event that the mission is able to move 

forward in-person, the health and safety 

of all attendees remains ITA’s top 

priority, and with any resumption of inperson events, ITA is announcing basic 

health and safety precautions that will 

highlight existing guidelines applicable 

to all trade mission attendees. 

In addition to the guidelines set forth 

herein, ITA is closely monitoring 

government mandates and policy 

changes, CDC guidelines, and public 

health announcements. As information 

pertaining to COVID–19 continues to 

develop, we will adjust our approach as 

needed. 

In-person trade missions will be 

organized and carried out with 

precautions in place for the health and 

safety of all attendees in response to 

COVID–19, and with due regard to and, 

as appropriate, in alignment with thencurrent: 

Guidance from the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC) https:// 

www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/ 

your-health/index.html 

Guidance issued by the Safer Federal 

Workforce Task Force https://

www.saferfederalworkforce.gov/ 

For Commerce employees, the 

workplace safety plan found at 

https://www.commerce.gov/covid-19- 

information-hub 

Recommendations from the World 

Health Organization (WHO) https://

www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/ 

novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-forpublic 

At a minimum, ITA will continue to 

follow CDC Guidelines, as updated, 

including mask requirements and travel 

rules. 

Requirements for Mission Participants 

Before departure and/or upon arrival, 

including at each mission stop, ITA will 

brief trade mission participants (i.e., 

private sector participants) on its 

current COVID–19 policies, as well as 

the relevant policies of local authorities. 

Mission participants are responsible 

for compliance with all COVID–19- 

related requirements pertaining to travel 

to, within, and from trade mission 

destination(s), including vaccinations, 

and, when appropriate, testing, 

masking, and physical distancing. All 

mission participants will be expected to 

comply with regulations and guidelines 

in effect at the time of the event in the 

country, market, and facilities where 

mission events are being held. Note that 

federal regulations and guidelines may 

be applicable for events held in 

federally owned or federally leased 

facilities outside the United States. 

Mission participants must present a 

photo ID and proof that they meet the 

then-current CDC definition of being 

fully vaccinated at the time of entry to 

a mission event. Individuals who are 

not able to be fully vaccinated due to 

certain medical conditions, age, or 

closely held religious beliefs, or who 

elect not to provide this information, 

will be expected to follow all relevant 

protocols for individuals who are not 

fully vaccinated and must provide proof 

of a negative COVID–19 test at the time 

of entry to a mission event, 

administered by an authorized health or 

medical provider, taken within the past 

three days prior to entry.1

Physical distancing practices will be 

implemented according to all venue and

local requirements. Where possible, 

there will be hand sanitizer stations. 

To create a safe environment for all 

attendees, participants who test positive 

for COVID–19 in transit to or during a 

trade mission are responsible for 

following the relevant regulations and 

guidelines, including any quarantine 

protocols, and are expected to cease 

participation in in-person events until a 

negative test is received or quarantine 

protocols are fulfilled. If a participant 

who has tested positive is deemed by 

ITA to pose a health risk to other 

participants, ITA may terminate their 

participation without refund. 

Any unused financial contributions 

made to the Department of Commerce 

for a trade mission that is cancelled will 

be refunded promptly. Financial 

contributions that have already been 

expended in anticipation of the mission 

and cannot be recouped by the 

Department of Commerce may not be 

refunded to the participants when a 

trade mission is cancelled. Given the 

unique circumstances presented by 

COVID–19, the same considerations 

apply in the event a participant must 

withdraw from a trade mission after 

testing positive for COVID–19. No 

personal expenses paid by the 

participants in anticipation of the trade 

mission will be reimbursed. Participants 

are responsible for all costs related to 

COVID–19 if contracted during or in 

transit to or from a trade mission. 

Note on Federal Employees and 

Contractors 

On-site federal employees and 

contractors will be expected to comply 

with current local regulations and 

guidelines in the country, market, or 

facilities, publicly- or privately-owned 

or operated, where mission events are 

being held. 

All on-site federal employees and 

contractors will be expected to comply 

with applicable federal and 

departmental rules, requirements, and 

guidance relating to COVID–19 safety as 

issued by the Safer Federal Workforce 

Task Force (https://www.saferfederal

workforce.gov/) and in effect at the time 

of the event, including any quarantining 

or other protocols in the event that they 

test positive for COVID–19. ITA and 

other Department of Commerce 

employees will additionally be expected 

to adhere to the Department of 

Commerce Workplace Safety Plan as 

appropriate, including indoor mask 

requirements in areas of high or 

substantial COVID–19 transmission 

(https://www.commerce.gov/covid-19- 

information-hub). 

Federal employees and contractors 

participating in on-site events will be 

required to complete and maintain on 

their persons at all times a Certification 

of Vaccination. (Certification available 

at: https://www.saferfederalworkforce.

gov/downloads/CertificationVaccination

PRAv7.pdf.) Federal employees and 

contractors who are not fully vaccinated 

or decline to provide information about 

their vaccination status must follow all 

relevant protocols for individuals who 

are not fully vaccinated and must 

provide proof of a negative COVID–19 

test administered by an authorized 

health or medical provider taken within 

the past three days.

Certain Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe 

Fittings From Brazil, Japan, Taiwan, 

Thailand, and the People’s Republic of 

China: Continuation of the 

Antidumping Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) orders on certain carbon steel buttweld pipe fittings (CSBW pipe fittings) 

from Brazil, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, 

and the People’s Republic of China 

(China) would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, Commerce is publishing 

a notice of continuation of the AD 

orders. 

DATES: Applicable February 11, 2022.

(202) 482–4270 or (202) 482–1690, 

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 17, 1986, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD orders on CSBW pipe fittings from 

Brazil and Taiwan. On February 10, 

1987, Commerce published the AD 

order on CSBW pipe fittings from Japan 

and on July 6, 1992, the AD orders on 

CSBW from Thailand and China.1 On 

July 1, 2021, Commerce initiated,2 and 

the ITC instituted,3 the sunset reviews 

of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). 

As a result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined, pursuant to sections 

751(c)(1) and 752(c) of the Act, that 

revocation of the Orders on CSBW pipe 

fittings from Brazil, Japan, Taiwan, 

Thailand, and China would likely lead 

to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping. Commerce, therefore, notified 

the ITC of the magnitude of the margins 

of dumping likely to prevail should the 

Orders be revoked.4

On February 7, 2022, the ITC 

published its determination that 

revocation of the Orders would likely 

lead to a continuation or recurrence of 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time, pursuant to sections 

751(c) and 752(a) of the Act.5

Scope of the Orders 

Brazil: The merchandise covered by 

the Brazil Order consists of certain 

carbon steel butt-weld type fittings, 

other than couplings, under 14 inches in 

diameter, whether finished or 

unfinished, that have been formed in 

the shape of elbows, tees, reducers, 

caps, etc., and, if forged, have been 

advanced after forging. These 

advancements may include any one or
