SUMMARY: On September 1, 2005, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published a notice of initiation of the second sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on welded ASTM A–312 stainless steel pipe (‘‘WSSP’’) from South Korea (‘‘Korea’’) and Taiwan, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). On the basis of a notice of intent to participate and adequate substantive responses from the domestic interested parties and no response from respondent interested parties, the Department has conducted expedited sunset reviews of these antidumping duty orders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On September 1, 2005, the Department published a notice of initiation of the second sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on WSSP from Korea and Taiwan, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation of Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 70 FR 52074 (September 1, 2005). We received notices of intent to participate, in each of the two sunset reviews, on behalf of Bristol Metals, L.P. and Marcegaglia U.S.A., Inc. (collectively, ‘‘the domestic interested parties’’), within the deadline specified in section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Department’s regulations. The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status as producers of the subject merchandise pursuant to section 771(9)(C) of the Act. The domestic interested parties were petitioners in the original investigations, or successors to petitioners, and have participated in subsequent reviews. On September 29, 2005, the Department received complete substantive responses to the notice of initiation from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in section 351.218(d)(3)(i) of the Department’s regulations.

Scope of the Orders The merchandise subject to each of these antidumping duty orders is WSSP that meets the standards and specifications set forth by the American Society for Testing and Materials (‘‘ASTM’’) for the welded form of chromium–nickel pipe designated ASTM A–312. The merchandise covered by the scope of each order also includes austenitic welded stainless steel pipes made according to the standards of other nations which are comparable to ASTM A–312. WSSP is produced by forming stainless steel flat–rolled products into a tubular configuration and welding along the seam. WSSP is a commodity product generally used as a E:\FR\FM\03JAN1.SGM 03JAN1 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 1 / Tuesday, January 3, 2006 / Notices conduit to transmit liquids or gases.
