(‘‘the Department’’) finds that revocation 

of the antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) order 

on certain oil country tubular goods 

(‘‘OCTG’’) from the People’s Republic of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 21, 2010, the Department 

published the AD order on OCTG from 

the PRC.1 On December 1, 2014, the 

Department published a notice of 

initiation of the first sunset review of 

the AD order on OCTG from the PRC, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’).2

On December 3, 2014, Maverick Tube 

Corporation (‘‘Maverick’’) timely 

notified the Department of its intent to 

participate.3 On December 10, 2014, 

Boomerang Tube (‘‘Boomerang’’), 

Energex Tube, a division of JMC Steel 

Group (‘‘Energex Tube’’), EVRAZ Rocky 

Mountain Steel (‘‘EVRAZ’’), IPSCO 

Tubulars, Inc. (‘‘IPSCO’’), Tejas Tubular 

Products, Inc. (‘‘Tejas Tubular’’), 

Vallourec Star, L.P. (‘‘Vallourec’’), and 

Welded Tube USA Inc. (‘‘Welded

On December 15, 2014, United States 

Steel Corporation (‘‘U.S. Steel’’) 

likewise timely notified the Department 

of its intent to participate.5 On 

December 31, 2014, the Department 

received an adequate substantive 

response from Boomerang, Energex 

Tube, EVRAZ, IPSCO, Maverick, Tejas 

Tubular, U.S. Steel, Vallourec, and 

Welded Tube within the 30-day 

deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).6 The Department did 

not receive substantive responses from 

any respondent interested party. As a 

result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department 

conducted an expedited (120-day) 

sunset review of the AD order on OCTG 

from the PRC. 

Scope of the Order 

This order covers OCTG. The Issues 

and Decision Memorandum, which is 

hereby adopted by this notice, provides 

a full description of the scope of the 

order.7

The Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System.8 ACCESS is 

available to registered users at http://

access.trade.gov and to all parties in the 

Central Records Unit, Room 7046 of the 

main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete 

version of the Decision Memorandum 

can be accessed at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed 

Issues and Decision Memorandum and 

the electronic version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

In the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, we have addressed all 

issues that parties raised in this review. 

The issues include the likelihood of 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and the magnitude of the dumping 

margins likely to prevail if the 

Department revoked the order. 

Final Results of Sunset Review 

Pursuant to section 752(c)(3) of the 

Act, the Department determines that 

revocation of the AD order on OCTG 

from the PRC would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

at weighted-average margins up to 99.14 

percent.9

Administrative Protective Order

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)

Timely notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials, or 

conversion to judicial protective order, 

is hereby requested. Failure to comply
