Department of Commerce March 16, 2017 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On November 7, 2016, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on uncovered innerspring units (innersprings) from the People's Republic of China (PRC). We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the preliminary results, and based upon our analysis of the comments received, our final results remain unchanged from the preliminary results. In these final results, we determine that innersprings are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value. The period of review (POR) is February 1, 2015, through January 31, 2016. The final weighted-average dumping margin is listed below in the Final Results of Review section of this notice.

The Department of Commerce is seeking information on the construction and maintenance of American pipelines. This information will help the Department develop a plan for the domestic sourcing of materials for the construction, retrofitting, repair, and expansion of pipelines inside the United States as directed by the January 24, 2017 Presidential Memorandum regarding ``Construction of American Pipelines'' (Presidential Memorandum). The Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with relevant agencies, is required to deliver this plan to the President by July 23, 2017. In response to this directive, the Department of Commerce is conducting industry outreach to better understand: Current pipeline construction technology and requirements; potential advances in pipeline technology; domestic and foreign supply chain for pipeline materials; and all other information respondents consider pertinent to the development of the domestic sourcing plan. Responses to this notice (posted at https://www.regulations.gov) will inform the Secretary's plan for the domestic sourcing of materials used in pipelines within the boundaries of the United States.
