amended (the Act).2 In November 2020,
Commerce received notices of intent to
participate from Axis Pipe and Tube,
California Steel Industries, Tex-Tube
Company, Welspun Tubular LLC,
Maverick Tube Corporation, IPSCO
Tubulars Inc., American Cast Iron Pipe
Company (ACIPCO), and Stupp
Corporation (collectively, domestic
interested parties), within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3
The domestic interested parties claimed
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act as manufacturers or
producers of the domestic like product.4
On December 3, 2020, Commerce
received an adequate substantive
response to the Notice of Initiation from
the domestic interested parties within
the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i).5 Commerce received no
substantive response from any
respondent interested parties.
On December 23, 2020, Commerce
notified the U.S. International Trade
Commission that it did not receive an
adequate substantive response from
respondent interested parties.6
Accordingly, pursuant to section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the Order.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the
Order is circular welded carbon and
alloy steel (other than stainless steel)
pipe of a kind used for oil or gas
pipelines (welded line pipe), not more
than 24 inches in nominal outside
diameter, regardless of wall thickness,
length, surface finish, end finish, or
stenciling. Welded line pipe is normally
produced to the American Petroleum
Institute (API) specification 5L, but can
be produced to comparable foreign
specifications, to proprietary grades, or
can be non-graded material. All pipe
meeting the physical description set
forth above, including multiplestenciled pipe with an API or
comparable foreign specification line
pipe stencil is covered by the scope of
this investigation.
The welded line pipe that is subject
to the Order is currently classifiable in
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) under
subheadings 7305.11.1030,
7305.11.5000, 7305.12.1030,
7305.12.5000, 7305.19.1030,
7305.19.5000, 7306.19.1010,
7306.19.1050, 7306.19.5110, and
7306.19.5150. The subject merchandise
may also enter in HTSUS 7305.11.1060
and 7305.12.1060. While the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
Order is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this sunset review
are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, including the likelihood
of continuation or recurrence of
countervailable subsidies and the net
countervailable subsidy likely to prevail
if the Order were revoked.7 The Issues
and Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
