SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Economic Development
Administration’s mission is to lead the
Federal economic development agenda
by promoting innovation and
competitiveness, preparing American
regions for growth and success in the
worldwide economy. The Economic
Development Administration (EDA)
accomplishes its mission by helping our
partners across the nation (states,
regions, and communities) create wealth
and minimize poverty by promoting a
favorable business environment to
attract private capital investment and
jobs through world-class capacity
building, planning, infrastructure,
research grants, and strategic initiatives.
EDA’s strategic investments in public
infrastructure and local capital markets
provide lasting benefits for
economically disadvantaged areas.
Acting as catalysts to mobilize public
and private investments, EDA’s
investments address problems of high
unemployment, low per capita income,
and other forms of severe economic
distress in local communities. EDA also
provides special economic adjustment
assistance to help communities and
businesses respond to major layoffs,
plant shutdowns, trade impacts, natural
disasters, military facility closures, and
other severe economic dislocations.
EDA must comply with the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 which requires Federal
agencies to develop performance
measures, and report to Congress and
stakeholders the results of the agency’s
performance. EDA must collect specific
data from grant recipients to report on
its performance in meeting its stated
goals and objectives.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On March 3, 2004, the Department
received antidumping duty petitions
filed in proper form by the petitioners
for the imposition of antidumping
duties on certain circular welded carbon
quality line pipe from Mexico, Korea,
and the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’), alleging that line pipe from
these countries were being sold, or were
likely to be sold, in the United States at
less than fair value. The petitioners are
domestic producers of certain circular
welded carbon quality line pipe (‘‘line
pipe’’). On March 24, 2004, the
Department initiated antidumping duty
investigations of line pipe from Mexico,
Korea, and the PRC. See Initiation of
Antidumping Duty Investigations:
Certain Circular Welded Carbon Quality
Line Pipe From Mexico, The Republic of
Korea, and the People’s Republic of

Termination of Antidumping
Investigations
On February 1, 2004, the Department
received a letter from petitioners
notifying the Department that they are
no longer interested in seeking relief
and are withdrawing their petitions on
line pipe from Mexico and Korea. Under
section 734(a)(1)(A) of the Act of 1930,
upon withdrawal of a petition, the
administering authority may terminate
an investigation after giving notice to all
parties to the investigations. Further,
section 351.207(b)(1) of the
Department’s regulations states that the
Department may terminate an
investigation upon withdrawal of a
petition, provided it concludes that
termination is in the public interest. We
notified all interested parties to the
investigations of our intent to terminate
these investigations, and provided them
an opportunity to comment on the
proposed termination. On February 7,
2005, Hylsa S.A de CV, a respondent in
this investigation, submitted comments
stating that termination of these
investigations is in the public interest.
We have received no further comments
from any party to these investigations.
As no party objects to this termination
and the Department is not aware of
evidence to the contrary, the
Department finds that termination of
these investigations is in the public
interest. As such, we are terminating
these antidumping investigations and
will issue instructions directly to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to terminate the suspension of
liquidation of subject merchandise and
release all bond and any cash deposits
that have been posted, where
applicable.
This notice serves as a reminder to
parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
