Cast Iron Soil Pipe Fittings From the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of the Expedited First Sunset 

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) order on cast iron soil pipe fittings 

(soil pipe fittings) from the People’s 

Republic of China (China) would be 

likely to lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of dumping at the levels 

indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Sunset 

Review’’ section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable November 6, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 31, 2018, Commerce 

published the AD order on soil pipe 

fittings from China.1 On July 3, 2023, 

Commerce published the notice of 

initiation of the first sunset review of 

the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act).2 On July 18, 2023, Commerce 

received a notice of intent to participate 

in this review from the Cast Iron Soil 

Pipe Institute (the domestic interested 

party) 3 within the deadline specified in 

19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).4 The domestic 

interested party claimed interested party 

status under section 771(9)(E) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(17) and 

(29)(vii) as a trade or business 

association, a majority of whose 

members manufacture or produce the 

domestic like product in the United 

States. On August 2, 2023, the domestic 

interested party provided a complete 

substantive response for this review 

within the 30-day deadline specified in 

19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).5 We received 

no substantive responses from any other 

interested parties, nor was a hearing 

requested. On August 22, 2023, 

Commerce notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that it did not receive an adequate 

substantive response from respondent 

interested parties.6 As a result, 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
