imports. USTR proposes these remedies 

for further consideration by domestic 

producers, importers, exporters, and 

other interested parties, and invites any 

of these parties to submit their views 

and evidence on the appropriateness of 

the proposed remedies and whether 

they would be in the public interest. In 

addition, USTR invites comments on 

other possible actions, including: 

imposition of a tariff-rate quota on the 

subject imports from China, with an inquota volume, out-of-quota tariff rate, 

and/or periods different from the ITC 

recommendation; imposition of an 

additional duty on imports of the 

subject imports from China; imposition 

of a quota on the subject imports from 

China, with a different quota level; an 

import monitoring mechanism; or no 

import relief (pursuant to a 

determination under section 421(k) of 

the Trade Act regarding the national 

economic interest or national security). 

In commenting on possible actions, 

interested parties are requested to 

address: (i) The short- and long-term 

effects that implementation of the 

proposed actions are likely to have on 

the domestic circular welded non-alloy 

steel pipe industry, other domestic 

industries, and downstream consumers, 

and (ii) the short- and long-term effects 

that not taking the proposed actions are 

likely to have on the domestic circular 

welded non-alloy steel pipe industry, its 

workers, and other domestic industries 

or communities.

USTR hold a public hearing, which 

request must be received by November 

16, 2005. Written comments, as well as

Discussion 

On October 6, 2005, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register the 

Notices of availability for 11 of the 12 

ACs related to the ‘‘Enhanced 

Airworthiness Program for Airplane 

Systems’’ proposed rule. The close of 

comment period date for these notices is 

December 5, 2005. The FAA published 

the Notice of availability for the twelfth 

AC, AC 120–XX, in the Federal Register 

on October 18, 2005. The close of 

comment period date for this AC is 

December 19, 2005. The proposed rule 

(70 FR 58508), which also was 

published on October 6, 2005, contains 

a close of comment period date of
