SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 1, 2017, the Department
initiated a sunset review of the CVD
Order 1 on Steel Cylinders from the PRC
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On
May 8, 2017, the Department received a
notice of intent to participate in the
review on behalf of Norris Cylinder
Company (Norris) within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1).
Norris claimed interested party status
under section 771(9)(C) of the Act
because it was the petitioner in the
underlying countervailing duty
investigation and is the sole U.S.
producer of Steel Cylinders.
The Department received an adequate
substantive response from the domestic
industry within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).3
The Department did not receive a
substantive response from the
Government of the PRC or any
respondent interested party to the
proceeding. Because the Department
received no response from the
respondent interested parties, the
Department conducted an expedited
review of this CVD Order, pursuant to
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(l)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the
scope of the Order is seamless steel
cylinders designed for storage or
transport of compressed or liquefied gas
(high pressure steel cylinders). High

are high pressure steel cylinders
manufactured to UN–ISO–9809–1 and 2
specifications and permanently
impressed with ISO or UN symbols.
Also excluded from the Order are

internal porous mass, and permanently
impressed with 8A or 8AL in
