SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 1, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset review of the AD orders on welded pipe from China, India, Canada, Greece, Korea, and Türkiye pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 1

1 ? See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 88 FR 6499 (February 1, 2024) ( Initiation Notice ).

On February 16, 2024, the American Line Pipe Producers Association (ALPPA), a domestic interested party, notified Commerce of its intent to participate within the 15-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). 2 ALPPA claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as producers of a domestic like product in the United States.

On March 4, 2024, Commerce received adequate substantive responses from ALPPA within the 30-day period specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). 3 Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any government or respondent interested parties with respect to the orders covered by this sunset review. On February 21, 2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive substantive responses from any respondent interested parties. 4 As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(8) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of these orders.
