Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel 

Pipe From the People’s Republic of 

China: Final Results of the Expedited 

Third Sunset Review of the 

Countervailing 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 countervailing duty 

(CVD) order on circular welded carbon 

quality steel pipe from the People’s 

Republic of China (China) would be 

likely to lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of countervailable subsidies 

at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final 

Results of Sunset Review’’ section of 

this notice. 

DATES: Applicable September 9, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 22, 2008, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

CVD order on circular welded carbon 

quality steel pipe from China.1 On 

August 21, 2012, Commerce 

implemented its revised countervailable 

subsidy rates pursuant to the findings in 

the section 129 proceeding of the 

Uruguay Round Agreements Act.2 On 

May 1, 2024, Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of the third sunset 

review of the Order, pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, (the Act).3

On May 16, 2024, within the deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i) and 

section 771(9)(C) of the Act, Commerce 

received timely notices of intent to 

participate from Bull Moose Tube 

Company, Maruichi American 

Corporation, and Zekelman Industries,4

and from Nucor Tubular Products Inc.5

(collectively, the domestic interested 

parties). Each of the companies claimed 

to be a domestic interested party as 

producers of a domestic like product 

(circular welded carbon quality steel 

pipe) in the United States. 

On May 31, 2024, the domestic 

interested parties submitted a timely 

substantive response within the 30-day 

deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).6 Commerce did not 

receive a substantive response from the 

Government of China, a respondent, or 

any other interested party to this 

proceeding. 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. On July 22, 

2024, Commerce tolled certain 

deadlines in this administrative 

proceeding by seven days.7 The 

deadline for the final results is now 

September 5, 2024. 

On June 21, 2024, Commerce notified 

the U.S. International Trade 

Commission that it did not receive an 

adequate substantive response from 

respondent interested parties.8

Scope of the Order 

The scope of this Order covers certain 

welded carbon quality steel pipes and 

tubes, of circular cross-section. For a 

full description of the scope of this 

Order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.9

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised by interested parties 

in briefs are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

issues addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is provided in 

an appendix to this notice. The Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is a public

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of comments 

from interested parties and the evidence 

on the record, we have not made any 

changes to the Preliminary Results. The 

reasons for this conclusion are 

explained in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. Accordingly, we made 

no changes to the countervailable 

subsidy rate calculations from the 

Preliminary Results for mandatory 

respondent GFCL.6

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). For each of the subsidy programs 

found to be countervailable, we find 

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a 

government-provided financial 

contribution that gives rise to a benefit 

to the recipient, and that the subsidy is 

specific.7 The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum contains a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying Commerce’s conclusions,
