International Trade Administration December 30, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Commerce (the Department) has determined that Lamina y Placa Comercial, S.A. de C.V. (Lamina y Placa) is the successor-in-interest to Tuberia Nacional, S.A. de C.V. (TUNA) and, as a result, should be accorded the same treatment previously accorded TUNA in regard to the antidumping duty order on certain circular welded non-alloy steel pipe (circular welded pipe) from Mexico.

As a result of the determinations by the Department of Commerce (``Department'') and the International Trade Commission (``ITC'') that revocation of the antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department is publishing a notice of continuation of the antidumping duty order.

On December 22, 2010, IUSA, S.A. de C.V. (``IUSA'') and Nacional de Cobre, S.A. de C.V. (``Nacobre''), and their U.S. affiliates Cambridge-Lee Industries LLC and Copper and Brass International filed a First Request for Panel Review with the United States Section of the NAFTA Secretariat pursuant to Article 1904 of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Second and Third Requests for Panel Review were filed by GD Affiliates S. de. R.L. de C.V., and its U.S. affiliate GD Copper (U.S.A.), and the Government of Mexico, respectively. Panel review was requested of the final determination by the U.S. International Trade Commission that an industry in the United States is threatened with material injury by reason of imports of Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and Tube from China and Mexico. This determination was published in the Federal Register (75 FR 71,146), on November 22, 2010. The NAFTA Secretariat has assigned Case Number USA- MEX-2010-1904-02 to these requests.
