SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 1, 2016, the
Department published the notice of
initiation of the third sunset reviews of
the antidumping duty orders on large
diameter pipe from Japan and small
diameter pipe from Japan and Romania,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).1 The
Department received notices of intent to
participate in both of the Japan reviews
from TMK IPSCO, Vallourec Star, L.P.
(Vallourec), and United States Steel
Corporation (U.S. Steel), domestic
interested parties (collectively, the
petitioners) and a notice of intent to
participate in the Romania review from
Vallourec and U.S. Steel, within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). The petitioners claimed
interested party status for each of these
reviews under section 771(9)(C) of the
Act, as manufacturers of the domestic
like product in the United States.
On October 3, 2016, the Department
received a complete substantive
response from the petitioners for each of
the reviews within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We
received no substantive responses from
any respondent interested parties. As a
result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department
conducted expedited sunset reviews of
these antidumping duty orders.

Revisions to User Fees for Export and
Investment Promotion Services/Events
U.S. & Foreign Commercial
Service, International Trade
Administration, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of proposed fee revisions
and request for comment.
AGENCY:
The U.S. & Foreign
Commercial Service (US&FCS) within
the International Trade Administration
(ITA) is seeking comment on its
proposal to adjust user fees in light of
an independent cost study which
concluded that the US&FCS is not fully
covering its costs for providing services
under the current fee structure, as
provided in the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Circular A–25. ITA
provides a wide range of export and
investment promotion information and
services to U.S. individuals and entities.
The services considered here are a
subset of ITA activities that involve
relatively more intensive time
engagements with particular client
firms; ITA will continue to provide
information and services that are less
intensive and/or benefit the general
public without charge. As part of this
proposal, US&FCS also proposes to
revise the standards related to company
size for determining the fees to be
charged.
SUMMARY:
We will consider all comments
that we receive by January 16, 2017.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by either of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The statutory mission of US&FCS is to
‘‘place primary emphasis on the
promotion of exports of goods and
services from the United States,
particularly by small businesses and
medium-sized businesses, and on the
protection of United States business
interests abroad . . . through activities
that include assisting United States
exporters.’’ 15 U.S.C. Sec. 4721(b). The
statute further defines the term ‘‘United
States exporter’’ at 15 U.S.C. Sec. 4721(j)
as a U.S. citizen, U.S. corporation, or
foreign corporation that is more than
95% U.S.-owned, that ‘‘exports or seeks
to export, goods or services produced in
the United States.’’ In addition, US&FCS
leads the federal government’s
investment promotion efforts ‘‘to attract
and retain investment in the American
economy’’ as provided in Executive
Order 13577—SelectUSA Initiative
(June 15, 2011). In carrying out these
efforts, US&FCS may collect user fees
from U.S. economic development
organizations that seek to promote their
locality to foreign investors.
OMB Circular A–25 requires the
recovery of an appropriate share of the
full cost through user fees for goods and
services provided to recipients of
benefits beyond those accruing to the
general public. Specifically, section 6 of
Circular A–25 states that ‘‘when a
service (or privilege) provides special
benefits to an identifiable recipient
beyond those that accrue to the general
public, a charge will be imposed (to
recover the full cost to the Federal
Government for providing the special
benefit, or the market price).’’ A ‘‘user
fee’’ is the amount paid by a recipient
of a special benefit beyond those
benefits accruing to the general public.
A ‘‘special benefit’’ may accrue and a
user fee be imposed when a government

service: (a) Enables the beneficiary to
obtain more immediate or substantial
gains or values than those that accrue to
the general public; (b) is performed at
the request or for the convenience of the
recipient, and is beyond the services
regularly received by members of the
same industry or group or by the general
public; or (c) provides business stability
or contributes to public confidence in
the business activity of the beneficiary.
The direct or indirect cost of a service
provided by the Federal Government
includes, but is not limited to, the
following:
• Direct and indirect personnel costs,
including salaries and fringe benefits
such as medical insurance and
retirement. Retirement costs should
include all (funded or unfunded)
accrued costs not covered by employee
contributions as specified in Circular
A–11.
• Physical overhead, consulting, or
other indirect costs including material
and supply costs, utilities, insurance
travel, and rents or imputed rents on
land, buildings, and equipment.
• The management and supervisory
costs.
• The costs of enforcement,
collection, research, establishment of
standards, and regulation, including any
environmental impact statements.
Business Size Standards
To comply with the Small Business
Act, US&FCS, in consultation with the
Small Business Administration (SBA),
proposes the following standards related
to company size:
• Small Business: The company
qualifies as a ‘‘small business’’ under
SBA’s size standards matched to the
North American Industry Classification
System Codes.
• Medium-sized Business: The
company does not qualify under SBA’s
size standards matched to the North
American Industry Classification
System Codes, but has less than $1
billion in annual revenue.
• Large Business: The company does
not qualify under SBA’s size standards
matched to the North American
Industry Classification System Codes
and has more than $1 billion in annual
revenue.
The US&FCS is committed to
ensuring small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs) can access the
services that US&FCS provides. The
US&FCS has historically offered a
discount to SMEs, as well as to U.S.
economic development organizations
and non-profit educational institutions.
US&FCS proposes to continue
discounted fees for these target
populations. Rather than applying a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 1, 2016, the Department published the notice of
initiation of the third sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders
on large diameter pipe from Japan and small diameter pipe from Japan
and Romania, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).\1\ The Department received notices of intent to
participate in both of the Japan reviews from TMK IPSCO, Vallourec
Star, L.P. (Vallourec), and United States Steel Corporation (U.S.
Steel), domestic interested parties (collectively, the petitioners) and
a notice of intent to participate in the Romania review from Vallourec
and U.S. Steel, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). The petitioners claimed interested party status for
each of these reviews under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as
manufacturers of the domestic like product in the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 81 FR 60343
(September 1, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On October 3, 2016, the Department received a complete substantive
response from the petitioners for each of the reviews within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no
substantive responses from any respondent interested parties. As a
result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department conducted expedited sunset
reviews of these antidumping duty orders.

Japan and Romania would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence
of dumping up to the following weighted-average margin percentages:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Country margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan (Large Diameter)...................................... 107.80
