###### International Trade Commission

          - [Investigation Nos. 701-TA-449 and 731-TA-1118-1120 (Final)]

## Determinations 

                    On the basis of the record [1]                                          developed in the subject investigations, the United States International Trade Commission (Commission) determines, pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) & 1673d(b)) (the Act), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports from China, Korea, and Mexico of light-walled rectangular pipe and tube, provided for in subheading 7306.61.50 of the                           ( print page 45245)                        Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the Department of Commerce (Commerce) to be sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV) and by imports from China of light-walled rectangular pipe and tube found by Commerce to be subsidized by the Gove rnment of China.[2]                      [3] 

## Background 

                    The Commission instituted these investigations effective June 27, 2007, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce by twelve U.S. producers.[4]                                          The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from China were being subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that imports of light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from China, Korea, and Mexico were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the                     **Federal Register**                     of February 5, 2008 (73 FR 6740). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on April 11, 2008, and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.                 

                    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on July 28, 2008. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4024 (July 2008), entitled                     *Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube from China, Korea, and Mexico, Inv. Nos. 701-TA-449 and 731-TA-1118-1120 (Final)).*

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: July 28, 2008.
