SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

: The

Secretary of Commerce and the Advisor

to the President overseeing the Office of

Economic Initiatives serve as the co-

chairs of the Advisory Board. In

addition to the co-chairs, the Advisory

Board comprises 25 members that

represent various sectors of the

economy. The Board advises the

National Council for the American

Worker.

The December meeting will include

updates on implementation of

recommendations from the September

meeting and discussions of new

recommendations under each of the four

main goals of the Advisory Board:

•Develop a Campaign to Promote

Multiple Pathways to Career Success.

Companies, workers, parents, and

policymakers have traditionally

assumed that a university degree is the

best, or only, path to a middle-class

career. Employers and job seekers

should be aware of multiple career

pathways and skill development

opportunities outside of traditional 4-

year degrees.

•Increase Data Transparency to

Better Match American Workers with

American Jobs. High-quality,

transparent, and timely data can

significantly improve the ability of

employers, students, job seekers,

education providers, and policymakers

to make informed choices about

education and employment—especially

for matching education and training

programs to in-demand jobs and the

skills needed to fill them.

•Modernize Candidate Recruitment

and Training Practices. Employers often

struggle to fill job vacancies, yet their

hiring practices may actually reduce the

pool of qualified job applicants. To

acquire a talented workforce, employers

must better identify the skills needed for

specific jobs and communicate those

needs to education providers, job

seekers, and students.

•Measure and Encourage Employer-

led Training Investments. The size,

scope, and impacts of education and

skills training investments are still not

fully understood. There is a lack of

consistent data on company balance

sheets and in federal statistics. Business

and policy makers need to know how

much is spent on training, the types of

workers receiving training, and the long-

term value of the money and time spent

in classroom and on-the-job training.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

:

Background

On June 3, 2019, Commerce published

a notice of opportunity to request an

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on cold-drawn

mechanical tubing from Switzerland for

the period of review November 22,

2017, through May 31, 2019.

1

Pursuant

to a request from ArcelorMittal Tubular

Products LLC, Michigan Seamless Tube,

LLC, PTC Alliance Corp., and Webco

Industries, Inc., (the petitioners),

2

in

accordance with section 751(a) of the

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),

and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce

initiated an administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on cold-drawn

mechanical tubing from Switzerland on

July 29, 2019, with respect to three

companies: Benteler Rothrist AG

(Benteler Rothrist); Mubea

Pra

¨zisionsstahlrohr AG (Mubea), and

Jansen AG (Jansen).

3

On October 23,

2019, the petitioners timely withdrew

their request for an administrative

review with respect to all entities for

which they had requested a review.

4

Rescission of Review

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),

Commerce will rescind an

administrative review, in whole or in

part, if the party that requested the

review withdraws its request within 90

days of the publication date of the

notice of initiation of the requested

review. The petitioners, who were the

only parties to request a review,

withdrew their request within the 90-

day deadline. Accordingly, we are

rescinding the administrative review of

cold-drawn mechanical tubing from

Switzerland for the period November

22, 2017, through May 31, 2019, in its

entirety.

Assessment

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries of cold-drawn mechanical tubing

from Switzerland. Antidumping duties

shall be assessed at rates equal to the

cash deposit rate of estimated

antidumping duties required at the time

of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse,

for consumption, in accordance with 19

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends

to issue appropriate assessment

instructions to CBP 15 days after

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register.

Notification to Importers

This notice serves as the only

reminder to importers whose entries

will be liquidated as a result of this

rescission notice, of their responsibility

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a

certificate regarding the reimbursement

of antidumping duties prior to

liquidation of the relevant entries

during this review period. Failure to

comply with this requirement could

result in the presumption that

reimbursement of the antidumping

duties occurred and the subsequent

assessment of double antidumping

duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative

Protective Order

This notice also serves as the only

reminder to all parties subject to

administrative protective order (APO) of

their responsibility concerning the

disposition of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely

written notification of the return or

destruction of APO materials or

conversion to judicial protective order is

hereby requested. Failure to comply

with the regulations and terms of an

APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

This notice is issued and published in

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR

351.213(d)(4).

Dated: November 1, 2019.
