SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On July 24, 2014, the 

Commission established a schedule for 

the conduct of this review (79 FR 44864, 

August 1, 2014). Subsequently, counsel 

for the domestic interested party filed a 

request to appear at the hearing and for 

consideration of cancellation of the 

hearing. Counsel indicated a willingness 

to submit written testimony and 

responses to any Commission questions 

in lieu of an actual hearing. No other 

party filed a timely request to appear at 

the hearing. Consequently, the public 

hearing in connection with this review, 

scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. on 

December 3, 2014, at the U.S. 

International Trade Commission 

Building, is cancelled. Parties to this 

review should respond to any written 

questions posed by the Commission in 

their posthearing briefs, which are due 

to be filed on December 12, 2014.

[Investigation Nos. 701–TA–524–525 and 

731–TA–1260–1261 (Preliminary)] 

Certain Welded Line Pipe From Korea 

and Turkey 

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigations, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant 

to sections 703(a) and 733(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) 

and 1673b(a)) (‘‘the Act’’), that there is 

a reasonable indication that an industry 

in the United States is materially 

injured by reason of imports from Korea 

and Turkey of certain welded line pipe, 

provided for in subheadings 7305.11, 

7305.12, 7305.19, and 7306.19 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States, that are alleged to be sold 

in the United States at less than fair 

value (‘‘LTFV’’), and that are allegedly 

subsidized by the governments of Korea 

and Turkey. 

Commencement of Final Phase 

Investigations 

Pursuant to section 207.18 of the 

Commission’s rules, the Commission 

also gives notice of the commencement 

of the final phase of its investigations. 

The Commission will issue a final phase 

notice of scheduling, which will be 

published in the Federal Register as 

provided in section 207.21 of the 

Commission’s rules, upon notice from 

the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) of affirmative 

preliminary determinations in the 

investigations under sections 703(b) or 

733(b) of the Act, or, if the preliminary 

determinations are negative, upon 

notice of affirmative final 

determinations in those investigations 

under sections 705(a) or 735(a) of the 

Act. Parties that filed entries of 

appearance in the preliminary phase of 

the investigations need not enter a 

separate appearance for the final phase 

of the investigations. Industrial users, 

and, if the merchandise under 

investigation is sold at the retail level, 

representative consumer organizations 

have the right to appear as parties in 

Commission antidumping and 

countervailing duty investigations. The 

Secretary will prepare a public service 

list containing the names and addresses 

of all persons, or their representatives, 

who are parties to the investigations. 

Background 

On October 16, 2014, a petition was 

filed with the Commission and 

Commerce by American Cast Iron Pipe 

Company, Birmingham, Alabama; 

Energex, a division of JMC Steel Group, 

Chicago, Illinois; Maverick Tube 

Corporation, Houston, Texas; Northwest 

Pipe Company, Vancouver, Washington; 

Stupp Corporation, Baton Rouge, 

Louisiana; Tex-Tube Company, 

Houston, Texas; TMK IPSCO, Houston, 

Texas; and Welspun Tubular LLC USA, 

Little Rock, Arkansas, alleging that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured or threatened with 

material injury by reason of subsidized 

imports of certain welded line pipe from 

Korea and Turkey and LTFV imports of 

certain welded line pipe from Korea and 

Turkey. Accordingly, effective October 

16, 2014, the Commission instituted 

countervailing duty investigation Nos. 

701–TA–524–525 and antidumping 

duty investigation Nos. 731–TA–1260– 

1261 (Preliminary). 

Notice of the institution of the 

Commission’s investigations and of a 

public conference 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 October 23, 2013 (79 

FR 63438). The conference was held in 

Washington, DC, on November 6, 2014, 

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 December 

1, 2014. The views of the Commission

Case: 1:14–cv–02007 

COMPLAINT 

The United States of America, acting 

under the direction of the Attorney 

General of the United States, brings this 

civil action to enjoin the proposed 

acquisition of Communications 

Corporation of America (CCA), a 

wholly-owned subsidiary of Silver Point 

Capital Fund, L.P., by Nexstar 

Broadcasting, Inc. (Nexstar) and Mission 

Broadcasting, Inc. (Mission) (Nexstar 

and Mission are referred to collectively 

as the Buyers), and to obtain other 

equitable relief. The transaction would 

likely lessen competition substantially 

in the sale of broadcast television spot 

advertising in the Evansville, Indiana 

Designated Marketing Area (DMA) of 

the United States in violation of Section 

7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18. The 

United States alleges as follows: 

I. NATURE OF THE ACTION 

1. Pursuant to a Stock Purchase 

Agreement dated April 24, 2013, 

Nexstar and Mission will acquire all of 

the issued and outstanding voting 

securities of CCA for $270 million. Both 

Nexstar and CCA own or operate many 

broadcast television stations in multiple 

television DMAs across the United 

States. Through various local services 

agreements, Nexstar sells the advertising 

for all of the television stations owned 

by Mission, which Nexstar effectively 

controls. 

2. In Evansville, Indiana, Nexstar 

owns and operates WEHT, an ABC 

broadcast network affiliate. As the 

owner-operator of that station, Nexstar 

sells WEHT’s advertising. Pursuant to a 

local services agreement, Nexstar also 

sells the advertising of WTVW, a CW 

broadcast network affiliate in Evansville 

that is owned by Mission. Accordingly, 

WEHT and WTVW do not meaningfully 

compete with one another for 

advertisers. 

3. In Evansville, CCA owns and 

operates WEVV, a CBS broadcast 

network affiliate. WEVV also operates a 

digital subchannel on which it runs 

television programming affiliated with 

the FOX broadcast network. Although 

Nexstar and Mission intend to transfer 

CCA’s WEVV license to a related third 

party, the third party is expected to have 

Nexstar sell its advertising pursuant to 

a local services or similar agreement. 

Nexstar would likely have effective 

control of this third party as it does of 

Mission. 

4. Currently, Nexstar (on behalf of 

WEHT and WTVW) and CCA (on behalf 

of WEVV) compete for the business of 

local and national advertisers that seek 

spot advertising on broadcast television 

stations in the Evansville, Indiana DMA. 

Advertisers benefit from this 

competition. 5. If consummated, Nexstar’s 

acquisition of control of CCA’s 

advertising would result in Nexstar 

controlling the sale of advertising for 

three out of four major broadcast 

network affiliates (WEHT (ABC) and 

WEVV (CBS & FOX)) and a fourth 

network affiliation (WTVW (CW)) in the 

Evansville, Indiana DMA. Nexstar’s 

already high market share of spot 

advertising in the DMA would increase 

from approximately 42 to 60 percent. 6. The transaction would eliminate 

head-to-head competition between 

Nexstar and CCA and all the benefits 

from this competition. Unless the 

transaction is blocked, it will lead to 

higher prices for broadcast television 

spot advertising in the Evansville, 

Indiana DMA in violation of Section 7 

of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18. 

II. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 

7. The United States brings this action 

pursuant to Section 15 of the Clayton 

Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 25, to 

prevent and restrain Defendants from 

violating Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 

15 U.S.C. 18. 

8. Nexstar and CCA sell broadcast 

television spot advertising, a 

commercial activity that substantially
