ON 07/22/2008, THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER ITS ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER IN THE INVESTIGATION OF CIRCULAR-WELDED CARBON QUALITY STEEL PIPE ("CWP") FROM THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ("PRC"). 2. THE MERCHANDISE SUBJECT TO THIS PROCEEDING IS CERTAIN WELDED CARBON QUALITY STEEL PIPES AND TUBES, OF CIRCULAR CROSS-SECTION, AND WITH AN OUTSIDE DIAMETER OF 0.372 INCHES (9.45 MM) OR MORE, BUT NOT MORE THAN 16 INCHES (406.4 MM), WHETHER OR NOT STENCILED, REGARDLESS OF WALL THICKNESS, SURFACE FINISH (E.G., BLACK, GALVANIZED, OR PAINTED), END FINISH (E.G., PLAIN END, BEVELED END, GROOVED, THREADED, OR THREADED AND COUPLED), OR INDUSTRY SPECIFICATION (E.G., ASTM, PROPRIETARY, OR OTHER), GENERALLY KNOWN AS STANDARD PIPE AND STRUCTURAL PIPE (THEY MAY ALSO BE REFERRED TO AS CIRCULAR, STRUCTURAL, OR MECHANICAL TUBING). SPECIFICALLY, THE TERM "CARBON QUALITY" INCLUDES PRODUCTS IN WHICH (A) IRON PREDOMINATES, BY WEIGHT, OVER EACH OF THE OTHER CONTAINED ELEMENTS; (B) THE CARBON CONTENT IS 2 PERCENT OR LESS, BY WEIGHT; AND (C) NONE OF THE ELEMENTS LISTED BELOW EXCEEDS THE QUANTITY, BY WEIGHT, AS INDICATED: (I)1.80 PERCENT OF MANGANESE; (II)2.25 PERCENT OF SILICON; (III)1.00 PERCENT OF COPPER; (IV)0.50 PERCENT OF ALUMINUM; (V)1.25 PERCENT OF CHROMIUM; (VI)0.30 PERCENT OF COBALT; (VII)0.40 PERCENT OF LEAD; (VIII)1.25 PERCENT OF NICKEL; (IX)0.30 PERCENT OF TUNGSTEN; (X)0.15 PERCENT OF MOLYBDENUM; (XI)0.10 PERCENT OF NIOBIUM; (XII)0.41 PERCENT OF TITANIUM; (XIII)0.15 PERCENT OF VANADIUM; OR (XIV)0.15 PERCENT OF ZIRCONIUM. STANDARD PIPE IS MADE PRIMARILY TO AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING AND MATERIALS (?ASTM?) SPECIFICATIONS, BUT CAN BE MADE TO OTHER SPECIFICATIONS. STANDARD PIPE IS MADE PRIMARILY TO ASTM SPECIFICATIONS A-53, A-135, AND A-795. STRUCTURAL PIPE IS MADE PRIMARILY TO ASTM SPECIFICATIONS A-252 AND A-500. STANDARD AND STRUCTURAL PIPE MAY ALSO BE PRODUCED TO PROPRIETARY SPECIFICATIONS RATHER THAN TO INDUSTRY SPECIFICATIONS. THIS IS OFTEN THE CASE, FOR EXAMPLE, WITH FENCE TUBING. PIPE MULTIPLE-STENCILED TO A STANDARD AND/OR STRUCTURAL SPECIFICATION AND TO ANY OTHER SPECIFICATION, SUCH AS THE AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE ("API") API-5L SPECIFICATION, IS ALSO COVERED BY THE SCOPE OF THIS INVESTIGATION WHEN IT MEETS THE PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION SET FORTH ABOVE AND ALSO HAS ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS: IS 32 FEET IN LENGTH OR LESS; IS LESS THAN 2.0 INCHES (50 MM) IN OUTSIDE DIAMETER; HAS A GALVANIZED AND/OR PAINTED SURFACE FINISH; OR HAS A THREADED AND/OR COUPLED END FINISH. (THE TERM "PAINTED" DOES NOT IN CLUDE COATINGS TO INHIBIT RUST IN TRANSIT, SUCH AS VARNISH, BUT INCLUDES COATINGS SUCH AS POLYESTER.) THE SCOPE OF THIS INVESTIGATION DOES NOT INCLUDE: (A) PIPE SUITABLE FOR USE IN BOILERS, SUPERHEATERS, HEAT EXCHANGERS, CONDENSERS, REFINING FURNACES AND FEEDWATER HEATERS, WHETHER OR NOT COLD DRAWN; (B) MECHANICAL TUBING, WHETHER OR NOT COLD-DRAWN; (C) FINISHED ELECTRICAL CONDUIT; (D) FINISHED SCAFFOLDING; (E) TUBE AND PIPE HOLLOWS FOR REDRAWING; (F) OIL COUNTRY TUBULAR GOODS PRODUCED TO API SPECIFICATIONS; AND (G) LINE PIPE PRODUCED TO ONLY API SPECIFICATIONS. THE PIPE PRODUCTS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS INVESTIGATION ARE CURRENTLY CLASSIFIABLE IN HTSUS STATISTICAL REPORTING NUMBERS 7306.30.10.00, 7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32, 7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55, 7306.30.50.85, 7306.30.50.90, 7306.50.10.00, 7306.50.50.50, 7306.50.50.70, 7306.19.10.10, 7306.19.10.50, 7306.19.51.10, AND 7306.19.51.50. HOWEVER, THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION, AND NOT THE HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULE OF THE UNITED STATES (?HTSUS?) CLASSIFICATION, IS DISPOSITIVE OF WHETHER MERCHANDISE IMPORTED INTO THE UNITED STATES FALLS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE INVESTIGATION. 3. FOR FURTHER REPORTING PURPOSES THIS CASE HAS BEEN ASSIGNED INVESTIGATION NUMBER A-570-910. 4. THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION ("ITC") DETERMINED THAT CRITICAL CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT EXIST WITH RESPECT TO SUBJECT IMPORTS FROM THE PRC. AS A RESULT OF THE ITC'S NEGATIVE CRITICAL CIRCUMSTANCES DETERMINATION, U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION ("CBP") WILL REFUND ALL CASH DEPOSITS AND RELEASE ALL BONDS COLLECTED ON CWP FROM THE PRC ENTERED OR WITHDRAWN FROM WAREHOUSE, FOR CONSUMPTION ON OR AFTER OCTOBER 17, 2007, BUT BEFORE JANUARY 15, 2008, EXCEPT FOR IMPORTS OF CWP FROM PRC PRODUCED AND EXPORTED BY JIANGSU YULONG STEEL PIPE CO., LTD.

INTEREST PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930 DO NOT APPLY. 5. FOR ALL IMPORTS OF CWP FROM PRC, EXCEPT FOR THOSE PRODUCED AND EXPORTED BY JIANGSU YULONG STEEL PIPE CO., LTD., CBP SHALL CONTINUE TO SUSPEND LIQUIDATION OF SUCH SHIPMENTS ENTERED OR WITHDRAWN FROM WAREHOUSE, FOR CONSUMPTION ON OR AFTER JANUARY 15, 2008.
