pipe from Korea and Turkey,1 and the
CVD order on welded line pipe from
Turkey.2 On November 2, 2020, the ITC
instituted,3 and on November 3, 2020,

amended (the Act). As a result of its
reviews, Commerce determined that
revocation of the AD Orders would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping, and revocation
of the CVD Order would be likely to
lead to continuation or recurrence of
countervailable subsidies. Therefore,
Commerce notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins of dumping
and the net subsidy rates likely to
prevail should the AD Orders and the
CVD Order be revoked.5
On June 24, 2021, the ITC published
its determinations, pursuant to sections
751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that

revocation of the AD Orders and the
CVD Order would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States within a reasonably foreseeable
time.6
Scope of the Orders
The scope of these orders is circular
welded carbon and alloy steel (other
than stainless steel) pipe of a kind used
for oil or gas pipelines (welded line
pipe), not more than 24 inches in
nominal outside diameter, regardless of
wall thickness, length, surface finish,
end finish, or stenciling. Welded line
pipe is normally produced to the
American Petroleum Institute (API)
specification 5L, but can be produced to
comparable foreign specifications, to
proprietary grades, or can be non-graded
material. All pipe meeting the physical
description set forth above, including
multiple-stenciled pipe with an API or
comparable foreign specification line
pipe stencil is covered by the scope of
these orders.
The welded line pipe that is subject
to these orders is currently classifiable
in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS) under
subheadings 7305.11.1030,
7305.11.5000, 7305.12.1030,

7306.19.1050, 7306.19.5110, and
7306.19.5150. The subject merchandise
may also enter in HTSUS 7305.11.1060
and 7305.12.1060. While the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of these
orders is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by
Commerce and the ITC that revocation
of the AD Orders and the CVD Order
would likely lead to a continuation or
a recurrence of dumping,
countervailable subsidies, and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a),
Commerce hereby orders the
continuation of the AD Orders and the
CVD Order. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection will continue to collect AD
and CVD cash deposits at the rates in
effect at the time of entry for all imports
of subject merchandise.

Needs and Uses: This request is for

The Coral Reef Conservation Act of
2000 (16 U.S.C. 6401 et seq.) was
enacted on December 14, 2000, to
preserve, sustain and restore the
condition of coral reef ecosystems; to
promote the wise management and
sustainable use of coral reef ecosystems
to benefit local communities and the
Nation; to develop sound scientific
information on the condition of coral
reef ecosystems and the threats to such
ecosystems; to assist in the preservation
of coral reefs by supporting
conservation programs, including
projects that involve affected local
communities and non-governmental
organizations; to provide financial
resources for those programs and
projects; and to establish a formal
mechanism for the collecting and
allocating of monetary donations from
the private sector to be used for coral
reef conservation projects. Under
section 6403 of the Act, the Secretary,
through the NOAA Administrator
(Administrator) and subject to the
availability of funds, is authorized to
provide matching grants of financial
assistance for coral reef conservation
projects. Section 408(c) of the Act
authorizes at least $8,000,000 annually
for financial assistance projects under
the Program.
Collection activities for this program
are outlined below and include: 1.
Applicant creation and submission of
requests for waivers of the non-Federal
matching funds requirement; 2. Review
of project proposals by Federal Agencies
and non-Federal entities with
jurisdiction or management authority
over coral reef ecosystems in the area
where the project is to be conducted;
and 3. Revision of performance
reporting methods to include a standard
program-specific template and tracking
report.

Frm 00009
Fmt 4703

As per section 6403(b) of the Act,
NOAA will require that Federal funds
for any coral conservation financial
assistance project may not exceed 50
percent of the total cost. However, the
Administrator may waive all or part of
the matching requirement if the
Administrator determines that no
reasonable means are available through
which an applicant can meet the
matching requirement and the probable
benefit of the project outweighs the
public interest in the matching
requirement. The suitability for a waiver
is determined after the applicant has
submitted a written request with the
application package and provided the
proper justification.
As per section 6403(f) of the Act,
NOAA will review eligible coral reef
conservation proposals using an
external governmental review and
merit-based peer review. As part of this
review, NOAA will request and
consider written comments on the
proposal from each Federal agency, state
government, or other government
jurisdiction, including the relevant
regional Fishery Management Councils
established under the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et
seq.), or any National Marine Sanctuary,
with jurisdiction or management
authority over coral reef ecosystems in
the area where the project is to be
conducted. Pursuant to this requirement
of the Act, NOAA will apply the
following standard in requesting
comments: (A) Proposals for projects in
state or territorial waters, including
Federal marine protected areas in such
waters (e.g., National Marine
Sanctuaries), will be submitted to that
state or territorial government’s
designated U.S. Coral Reef Task Force
point of contact for comment; (B)
proposals for projects in Federal waters
will be submitted to the relevant Fishery
Management Council for comment; (C)
proposals for projects which require
Federal permits will be submitted to the
Federal agency which issued the permit
for comment; (D) proposals for projects
in Federal marine protected areas
managed by Federal agencies (e.g.,
National Wildlife Refuges, National
Parks, National Marine Sanctuaries, etc.)
will be submitted to the respective
Federal management authority for
comment; and (E) NOAA will seek
comments from other government
entities, authorities, and/or
jurisdictions, including international
entities for projects proposed outside of
U.S. waters, as necessary based on the
nature and scope of the proposed
project.
