International Trade Administration June 23, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Commerce (the Department) has determined that revocation of the antidumping (AD) orders on light-walled rectangular pipe and tube (light-walled pipe and tube) from Mexico, Turkey, the People's Republic of China (PRC), and the Republic of Korea (Korea) would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and that revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on light-walled pipe and tube from the PRC would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy. The U.S. International Trade Commission (the ITC) has also determined that revocation of these AD and CVD orders would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States. Accordingly, the Department is publishing this notice of the continuation of these AD and CVD orders.

Pursuant to provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App., the Department of Commerce announces the reestablishment of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee (the Committee). The Committee shall advise the Secretary of Commerce regarding the development and administration of programs and policies to expand the competitiveness of U.S. exports of renewable energy and energy efficiency goods and services, in accordance with applicable United States regulations. The Committee's work on energy efficiency will focus on technologies, services, and platforms that provide system-level energy efficiency to electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. These include smart grid technologies and services, as well as equipment and systems that increase the resiliency of power infrastructure. For the purposes of this Committee, covered goods and services will not include vehicles, feedstock for biofuels, or energy efficiency as it relates to consumer goods. Non-fossil fuels that are considered renewable fuels (e.g., liquid biofuels and pellets) are included. This notice also requests nominations for membership.
