SUMMARY:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On August 5, 2019, the Commission determined that it should proceed to full reviews in the subject five-year reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). The Commission found that the group responses to its notice of institution (84 FR 18577) from both the domestic interested parties and the respondent interested parties from Mexico were adequate. The Commission determined to conduct a full review of the antidumping order on LWR pipe and tube from Mexico. The Commission did not receive a response to the notice of institution from any respondent interested parties concerning the orders on subject imports from China, Korea, or Turkey in these reviews. Consequently, the Commission determined that the respondent interested party group responses from each of these subject countries were inadequate. The Commission, however, determined to conduct full reviews of the orders on LWR pipe and tube from China, Korea, and Turkey in order to promote administrative efficiency in light of the Commission's determination to conduct a full review of the order on LWR pipe and tube from Mexico.^[1] A record of the Commissioners' votes, the Commission's statement on adequacy, and any individual Commissioner's statements will be available from the Office of the Secretary and at the Commission's website.

Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant to section 207.62 of the Commission's rules.

By order of the Commission.

Issued: August 19, 2019.

Lisa Barton,

Secretary to the Commission.
