Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation is welded carbon and alloy steel
pipe (including stainless steel pipe), more
than 406.4 mm (16 inches) in nominal
outside diameter (large diameter welded
pipe), regardless of wall thickness, length,
surface finish, grade, end finish, or
stenciling. Large diameter welded pipe may
be used to transport oil, gas, slurry, steam, or
other fluids, liquids, or gases. It may also be
used for structural purposes, including, but
not limited to, piling. Specifically, not
included is large diameter welded pipe
produced only to specifications of the
American Water Works Association (AWWA)
for water and sewage pipe.
Large diameter welded pipe used to
transport oil, gas, or natural gas liquids is
normally produced to the American
Petroleum Institute (API) specification 5L.
Large diameter welded pipe may also be
produced to American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM) standards A500, A252,
or A53, or other relevant domestic
specifications, grades and/or standards. Large
diameter welded pipe can be produced to
comparable foreign specifications, grades
and/or standards or to proprietary
specifications, grades and/or standards, or
can be non-graded material. All pipe meeting
the physical description set forth above is
covered by the scope of this investigation,
whether or not produced according to a
particular standard.
Subject merchandise also includes large
diameter welded pipe that has been further
processed in a third country, including but
not limited to coating, painting, notching,
beveling, cutting, punching, welding, or any
other processing that would not otherwise
remove the merchandise from the scope of
the investigation if performed in the country
of manufacture of the in-scope large diameter
welded pipe.
The large diameter welded pipe that is
subject to this investigation is currently
classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under
subheadings 7305.11.1030, 7305.11.1060,
7305.11.5000, 7305.12.1030, 7305.12.1060,
7305.12.5000, 7305.19.1030, 7305.19.1060,
7305.19.5000, 7305.31.4000, 7305.31.6010,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
deployment of small computing devices,
such as RFID tags, industrial controllers,
sensor nodes and smart cards, is
becoming increasingly common. The
shift in focus from desktop computers to
small devices brings a wide range of
new security and privacy concerns. In
many conventional cryptographic
standards, the tradeoff between security,
performance and resource requirements
was optimized for desktop and server
environments, and this makes the
standards difficult or impossible to
implement in resource-constrained
devices. Therefore, when current NISTapproved algorithms can be engineered
to fit within the limited resources of
constrained environments, their
performance may not be acceptable.
In recent years, there has been
increased demand for cryptographic
standards that are tailored for
constrained devices. NIST has decided
to create a portfolio of lightweight
cryptographic algorithms, designed for
limited use in applications and
environments where cryptographic
operations are performed by constrained
devices that are unable to use existing
NIST standards.
Previously, NIST solicited public
comment on draft minimum
acceptability requirements, submission
requirements, and evaluation criteria for
candidate algorithms (83 FR 22251, May

minimal acceptability requirements, are
