The Department shall determine, and

the Customs Service shall assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. Individual differences between

instructions directly to the Customs

Service.

Furthermore, the following deposit

publication of the final results of these

administrative reviews for all shipments

of welded carbon steel pipes and tubes

from Thailand entered, or withdrawn

from warehouse, for consumption on or

after the publication date, as provided

for by Section 751(a)(2)(c) of the Act: (1)

The cash deposit rate for the reviewed

the final results of this review; (2) for

previously reviewed or investigated

companies not listed above, the cash

deposit rate will continue to be the

company-specific rate published for the

most recent period; (3) if the exporter is

reminder to importers of their

responsibility under 19 CFR 353.26 to

file a certificate regarding the

reimbursement of antidumping duties

Trade Mission Description

Secretary of Commerce, William M.

Daley, will lead two trade missions to

Latin America in May, each with a U.S.

business delegation. The Mission to

Brazil will include stops in Rio de

Janeiro and Sao Paulo. While in Brazil,

the Secretary will attend the Americas

Business Forum in Belo Horizonte, an

event separate from the trade mission.

delegation on the Brazil Trade Mission

are encouraged to attend the Forum at

their option. After the Brazil trade

mission, the Secretary will meet another

U.S. business delegation in Argentina

which will participate in the trade

mission there and in Chile. The overall

focus of the trip will be the commercial

opportunities, including joint ventures,

presented by the development and

liberalization in Brazil’s, Argentina’s

and Chile’s infrastructure and other

economic sectors, and the promotion of

the United States as a destination for

foreign tourists. Specific sectors to be

highlighted include electric power

generation, information technologies

(including telecommunications and

computers), environmental

technologies, transportation

infrastructure and infrastructure

finance. The United States and Foreign

Return United States

The goals for the missions are:

• Reaffirm President Clinton’s

commitment to hemispheric free trade,

energize the U.S. private sector in its

support for USG free trade initiatives

and raise awareness of how the U.S. can

benefit from further liberalization and

commercial integration. In this context,

the mission will highlight the upcoming

Summit of the Americas that will occur

in Santiago, Chile in March, 1998.

• Seek resolution of outstanding

bilateral commercial issues and

advocate U.S. interests regarding

specific projects.

• Increase sales of U.S. products and

services to Brazil, Argentina and Chile,

particularly to the infrastructure sectors

of these countries.

• Highlight the opening of the

Brazilian, Argentine and Chilean

markets.

• Increase joint ventures and

investments by U.S. companies in

Brazil, Argentina and Chile, especially

those likely to result in U.S. exports.

A full description of the missions is

set forth in the Mission Statement,

which is available from Cheryl Bruner,

Project Office and Director of the Office

of Business Liaison, at the above

address.

The recruitment and selection of

private sector participants in the

Chile business development missions,

to the plan for the missions;

• Past, present and prospective business

activity in Latin America, and particularly

activities (including political

contributions) are irrelevant to the

selection process. An interested party

must fill out an application to be

considered for participation in a

mission.

endorse potential applicants, but

companies that are nominated or

endorsed must themselves submit an
