Designation of Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia also known as

as a Foreign Terrorist Organization
pursuant to Section 219 of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, as

Based upon a review of the

Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C.

conclude that the circumstances that

Foreign Terrorist Organization have not
changed in such a manner as to warrant
revocation of the designation and that
the national security of the United

Major Issues Raised by Korea
On July 18, 2014, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) published in
the Federal Register notice of its final
affirmative less-than-fair-value
determination in the antidumping
investigation concerning oil country
tubular goods from Korea (79 FR 41983).
On September 10, 2014, Commerce
published the antidumping duty order
(79 FR 53691).
In its request for the establishment of
a panel, Korea challenges Commerce’s
calculation of the constructed value
profit rate for the Korean respondents in
the antidumping investigation of oil
country tubular goods from Korea.
Korea alleges inconsistencies with
Articles 2.2, 2.2.2, and 2.4 of the AntiDumping Agreement. Korea also makes
certain procedural claims with respect
to Commerce’s calculation of the
constructed value profit rate, alleging
inconsistencies with Articles 6.2, 6.4,
6.9, and 12.2.2 of the Anti-Dumping
Agreement, and Articles I and X:3 of the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
1994.
Korea also challenges Commerce’s use
of downstream sale prices and costs
based on an affiliated supplier’s books
and records for the Korean respondent
NEXTEEL. Korea alleges inconsistencies
with Articles 2.3 and 2.2.1.1 of the AntiDumping Agreement. In addition, Korea
challenges Commerce’s decision to
select two mandatory respondents as
inconsistent with Article 6.10, including
Articles 6.10.1 and 6.10.2 of the AntiDumping Agreement.
Finally, Korea challenges ‘‘as such’’
Commerce’s use of an alleged
methodology to determine whether a
respondent’s third-country sales are
viable for the purposes of calculating
normal value. Korea also challenges
Commerce’s application of this alleged
methodology in the determinations at
issue in Korea’s request for the
establishment of a panel. Korea alleges
inconsistencies with Article 2.2 of the
Anti-Dumping Agreement.
