1. On 04/19/2019, the International Trade Commission (ITC) published in the Federal Register its final determination in the countervailing duty investigation of large diameter welded pipe from the Republic of Korea (C-580-898) (84 FR 16533). The ITC determined that a U.S. industry is not materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of a subset of that merchandise, specifically, stainless steel pipe. Therefore, stainless steel pipe is not covered by the countervailing duty order on large diameter welded pipe (see message 9122304, dated 05/02/2019)

2. CBP should discontinue the suspension of liquidation of entries of stainless steel pipe which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 06/29/2018 (the date of first suspension of liquidation of subject merchandise). Entries should be liquidated without regard to countervailing duties. All estimated countervailing duties deposited on entries of stainless steel pipe shall be refunded and bonds or other security released.

3. Notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 06/29/2018 (the date of first suspension of liquidation of subject merchandise) occurred with the publication of the ITC's notice of final determination of investigation (84 FR 16533, 04/19/2019).

4. The interest provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, do not apply.
