SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The International Trade 

Administration (ITA) is the premier 

resource for American companies 

competing in the global marketplace. 

ITA has more than 2,200 employees 

assisting U.S. exporters in more than 

100 U.S. cities and 75 markets 

worldwide. For more information on 

ITA visit www.trade.gov. Additional 

information about ITA’s standards 

activities is available at http://

www.trade.gov/td/standards/ 

index.html. 

Request for Input: ITA is currently 

reviewing its trade-related standards 

services and programs in support of U.S. 

stakeholders to ensure that the services 

and assistance provided best meet the 

needs of U.S. stakeholders and support 

the expansion of the U.S. economy and 

creation of U.S. jobs. Trade-related 

standards work includes work related to 

the adoption and recognition of 

standards; standards dialogues and 

other bilateral and regional engagements 

with trading partners; preparation of 

standards information in ITA 

publications such as Top Market reports 

and Country Commercial Guides; and 

work to address adoption, 

implementation, and enforcement of 

technical regulations and conformity 

assessment procedures inconsistent 

with World Trade Organization and free 

trade agreement obligations. ITA is 

specifically seeking information on 

trade-related standards trends in foreign 

markets, the challenges U.S. exporters 

are encountering in those markets, and 

the assistance needed from the U.S. 

Government, and specifically ITA, to 

address those challenges and take 

advantage of export opportunities. ITA 

will use this input in reviewing how to 

improve ITA standards-related services 

and programs to best meet the needs of 

U.S. stakeholders, including during an 

internal summit of ITA staff working on 

trade-related standards issues on March 

6–7, 2018 in Washington, DC. 

Comments submitted may include 

information about key standards trends 

affecting the global competitiveness of 

U.S. industry; stakeholder experiences, 

if any, with ITA services that aid 

stakeholders in understanding and 

acting on standards-related trade and 

regulatory issues; and suggestions for 

improving ITA services in the standards 

area. Respondents do not need to have 

detailed knowledge of or experience 

with ITA standards-related services, but 

those that do may note this in their 

submissions.

Opportunity to present during the ITA 

Internal Summit: The Summit will 

convene ITA staff from headquarters 

and the domestic and foreign fields to 

develop recommendations for 

improving standards-related services 

and programs for ITA stakeholders. It 

will include ‘‘open sessions’’ with 

private sector stakeholders where they 

may share their priorities and 

recommendations for ITA’s work on 

trade-related standards issues. To 

accommodate as many stakeholders as 

possible, the time per stakeholder will 

be limited. Stakeholders interested in 

presenting during a summit open 

session must apply by December 18, 

2017, identifying the name and address 

of the proposed speaker and including 

a brief description of the stakeholder 

interest and intended remarks. 

Stakeholders are limited to one 

presenter per company or organization. 

In seeking private sector presenters, 

ITA will consider factors such as: (1) 

Frequency and type of standards-related 

trade barriers experienced with the goal 

of selecting presenters with significant 

experience working to overcome 

standards-related barriers in foreign 

markets, and whose experience 

represents the spectrum of such barriers 

experienced by U.S. exporters (e.g., 

challenges with standards development, 

testing and conformity assessment, and 

meeting standards-related regulatory 

requirements in foreign markets); and 

(2) balance of industries and roles with 

the goal of selecting presenters that 

represent a mix of industries affected by 

standards-related trade barriers, and 

who are conversant on issues affecting 

U.S. stakeholders/exporters (standards 

development, conformity assessment, 

and technical regulations).

Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and

Expedited Preliminary Results of 

Changed Circumstances Review 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Department) is simultaneously 

initiating and issuing the preliminary 

results of a changed circumstances 

review (CCR) of the antidumping duty 

order on light-walled rectangular pipe 

and tube (LWRPT) from Mexico, 

consistent with section 751(b) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) 

and 19 CFR 351.216 and 

351.221(c)(3)(ii). Based on the 

information on the record, we 

preliminarily determine that Perfiles 

LM, S.A. de C.V. (Perfiles) is the 

successor-in-interest to Perfiles y 

Herrajes LM, S.A. de C.V. (Perfiles y 

Herrajes). Interested parties are invited 

to comment on these preliminary 

results. 

DATES: Applicable November 17, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 5, 2008, the Department 

published the antidumping duty order 

on LWRPT from Mexico.1 On July 31, 

2017, Perfiles y Herrajes informed the 

Department that, effective July 11, 2017, 

it had changed its name to ’’ Perfiles 

LM, S.A. de C.V.,’’ (i.e., Perfiles) and 

requested that the Department conduct 

a CCR under 19 CFR 351.216(b) to 

determine that Perfiles is the successorin-interest to Perfiles y Herrajes for 

purposes of determining Perfiles’ 

antidumping duty cash deposits and 

liabilities.2

On August 17, 2017, the Department 

declined to initiate the CCR that Perfiles 

y Herrajes requested, citing the need for 

additional information pertaining to any 

changes in management, production 

facilities, customers, and suppliers.3

Therefore, the Department issued 

Perfiles y Herrajes a questionnaire. On 

October 2, 2017, Perfiles y Herrajes filed 

its response, in which it provided 

additional information to support its 

request.4 We have received no 

comments from any other interested 

party.
