The Commission is now conducting fifth reviews pursuant to section 751c of the Act, as amended 19 U.S.C. 1675c, to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time.
Provisions concerning the conduct of this proceeding may be found in the Commissions Rules of Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct full reviews or expedited reviews. The Commissions determination in any expedited review will be based on the facts available, which may include information provided in response to this notice.
Definitions.The following definitions apply to these reviews:
1 Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is within the scope of these five-year reviews, as defined by the Department of Commerce.
2 The Subject Country in these reviews is Brazil, China, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand.
3 The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original determinations, its expedited first fiveyear review determinations, its full second five-year review determinations, and its expedited third and fourth fiveyear review determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Like Product as all carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings corresponding to Commerces scope.
4 The Domestic Industry is the U.S.
producers as a whole of the Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion

of the total domestic production of the product. In its original determinations, its expedited first five-year review determinations, and its full second fiveyear review determinations, the Commission defined a single Domestic Industry: Producers of finished and unfinished carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings having an inside diameter of less than 14 inches, including integrated producers, converters, and combination producers which perform both integrated production and conversion.
One Commissioner defined the Domestic Industry differently in the original determinations concerning Brazil, Japan, and Taiwan. In the original determinations concerning China and Thailand, the Commission excluded two domestic producers, Tube Line and Weldbend, from the Domestic Industry under the related parties provision. In its expedited first five-year review determinations, the Commission once again excluded Tube Line from the Domestic Industry under the related parties provision but found that Weldbend was no longer a related party eligible for exclusion. Certain Commissioners did not exclude Tube Line from the Domestic Industry in the expedited first five-year reviews. In the full second five-year review determinations, the Commission determined that appropriate circumstances did not exist for excluding any domestic producer from the Domestic Industry as a related party.
In its expedited third and fourth fiveyear review determinations, the Commission defined a single Domestic Industry consisting of all domestic producers of carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings.
5 An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or through its selling agent.
Participation in the proceeding and public service list.Persons, including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer organizations, wishing to participate in the proceeding as parties must file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as provided in 201.11b4 of the Commissions rules, no later than 21
days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the proceeding.
