106 pipes may be used in some boiler
applications.
The scope of the order includes all
seamless pipe meeting the physical
parameters described above and
produced to one of the specifications
listed above, regardless of application,
and whether or not also certified to a
non-covered specification. Standard,
line and pressure applications and the
above-listed specifications are defining
characteristics of the scope of the order.
Therefore, seamless pipes meeting the
physical description above, but not
produced to the A–335, A–106, A–53, or
API 5L standards shall be covered if
used in a standard, line or pressure
application.
For example, there are certain other
ASTM specifications of pipe which,
because of overlapping characteristics,
could potentially be used in A–106
applications. These specifications
generally include A–162, A–192, A–210,
A–333, and A–524. When such pipes
are used in a standard, line or pressure
pipe application, such products are
covered by the scope of the order.
Specifically excluded from the order
are boiler tubing and mechanical tubing,
if such products are not produced to A–
335, A–106, A–53 or API 5L
specifications and are not used in
standard, line or pressure applications.
In addition, finished and unfinished oil
country tubular goods (‘‘OCTG’’) are
excluded from the scope of the order, if
covered by the scope of another
antidumping duty order from the same
country. If not covered by such an
OCTG order, finished and unfinished
OCTG are included in the scope when
used in standard, line or pressure
applications. Finally, also excluded
from the order are redraw hollows for
cold-drawing when used in the
production of cold-drawn pipe or tube.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, our written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.
Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of dumping and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of
the Act the Department hereby orders
the continuation of the antidumping
duty order on seamless pipe from
Germany.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
will continue to collect antidumping
duty cash deposits at the rates in effect
at the time of entry for all imports of
subject merchandise. The effective date
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
of the continuation of this order will be
the date of publication in the Federal
Register of this notice of continuation.
Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act,
the Department intends to initiate the
next sunset review of this order not later
than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
This sunset review and this notice are
in accordance with section 751(c) of the
Act and published pursuant to section
777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: September 7, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office
of Advisory Committees is accepting
applications for 25 positions on the
Council for a two-year term beginning in
the fall of 2012. The Council was
rechartered most recently on April 5,
2012.

her ability to advise the Secretary of
Commerce on matters relating to the
U.S. manufacturing sector, to act as a
liaison among the stakeholders
represented by the membership, and to

manufacturing sector. In assessing this
ability, the Department will consider
such factors as, but not limited to, the
candidate’s proven experience in
promoting, developing and marketing
programs in support of manufacturing

manufacturing sector, or the candidate’s
proven abilities to manage

manufacturing organizations. Given the
duties and objectives of the Council, the
Department particularly seeks
applicants who are active
manufacturing executives (Chief
Executive Officer, President, or a
comparable level of responsibility) that
are leaders within their local
manufacturing communities and
industry sectors. The Council’s
membership shall reflect the diversity of
American manufacturing by
representing a balanced cross-section of
the U.S. manufacturing industry in
terms of industry sectors, geographic
locations, demographics, and company
size, particularly seeking the
representation of small- and mediumsized enterprises.
During the 2012–2014 charter term of
the Manufacturing Council, the
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for
Manufacturing and Services intends to
establish a new Economic Security
Commission Subcommittee. The
purpose of this subcommittee will be to
examine factors that impact the longterm strategic challenges faced by the
manufacturing sector in the United
States. As indicated below, applicants
are encouraged to highlight in their
submissions any interest in and
experience relevant to the work of this
subcommittee.
The Secretary of Commerce appoints
all Council members. All Council
members serve at the discretion of the
Secretary of Commerce. Council
members shall serve in a representative
capacity, representing the views and
interests of a U.S. entity in the
manufacturing industry and its
particular sector. For the purposes of
eligibility, a U.S. entity is defined as a
firm incorporated in the United States
(or an unincorporated firm with its
principal place of business in the
United States) that is controlled by U.S.
citizens or by another U.S. entity. An
entity is not a U.S. entity if 50 percent
plus one share of its stock (if a
corporation, or a similar ownership
interest of an unincorporated entity) is
controlled, directly or indirectly, by
non-U.S. citizens or non-U.S. entities.
As noted above, Council members
serve in a representative capacity,
expressing the views and interests of a
U.S. entity; they are, therefore, not
Special Government Employees.
Council members receive no
compensation for their participation in
Council activities. Members
participating in Council meetings and
events are responsible for their travel,
living and other personal expenses.
Meetings are held regularly and not less
than annually, usually in Washington,
