People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’)
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 an adequate substantive
response filed on behalf of the domestic
interested parties and an inadequate

Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B) and
(C). As a result of this sunset review, the
Department finds that revocation of the

continuation or recurrence of a
countervailable subsidy at the level
indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of

The Department received a notice of
intent to participate in the review on
behalf of United States Steel
Corporation (‘‘US Steel’’), Maverick
Tube Corporation (‘‘Maverick’’),
American Cast Iron Pipe Company
(‘‘ACIPCO’’), JMC Steel Group, Stupp
Corporation, Tex-Tube Company, TMK
IPSCO, and Welspun Tubular LLC USA,
(collectively, ‘‘the domestic industry’’)
within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). Each of these
companies claimed interested party
status under section 771(9)(C) of the
Act, as a domestic producer of the
domestic like product.
The Department received adequate
substantive responses collectively from
the domestic industry within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did
not receive a substantive response from
any government or respondent
interested party to the proceeding.
Because the Department received no
response from the respondent interested
parties, the Department conducted an

Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe From the People's
Republic of China: Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review of the
Countervailing Duty Order
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, formerly Import Administration,
International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On December 2, 2013, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') initiated a sunset review of the countervailing duty
(``CVD'') order on circular welded carbon quality steel line pipe
(``line pipe'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') 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 an adequate
substantive response filed on behalf of the domestic interested parties
and an inadequate response from respondent interested parties (in this
case, no response), the Department conducted an expedited sunset review
of this CVD order pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B) and (C). As a result of this sunset review,
the Department finds that revocation of the CVD order would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy at
the level indicated in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this
notice.
DATES: Effective Date: March 19, 2014.

from the domestic industry within the 30-day deadline specified in 19
CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did not receive a substantive
