Circular Welded Carbon-Quality Steel Pipe From Oman, Pakistan, 
and the United Arab Emirates: Final Results of Expedited Sunset Reviews 
of Antidumping Duty Orders

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: As a result of these expedited sunset reviews, the Department 
of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty 
(AD) orders on circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe (CWP) from 
Oman, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) would likely lead to 
a continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels identified in the 
``Final Results of Sunset Reviews'' section of this notice.

DATES: Applicable February 18, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 19, 2016, Commerce published the AD orders on CWP from 
Oman, Pakistan, and the UAE in the Federal Register.\1\ On November 1, 
2021, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) published the notice of 
initiation of the first sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On 
November 16, 2021, Commerce received timely and complete notices of 
intent to participate in these sunset reviews from Nucor Tubular 
Products Inc. (Nucor Tubular), Bull Moose Tube Company (Bull Moose), 
Wheatland Tube Company (Wheatland Tube), and Maruichi American Corp 
(Maruichi American) (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 in the United States of the 
domestic like product.\4\

    On December 1, 2021, the domestic interested parties filed timely 
and adequate substantive responses, within the deadline specified in 19 
CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\5\ Commerce did not receive adequate substantive 
responses from any respondent interested party, nor was a hearing 
requested.\6\ As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), we determine that the respondent 
interested parties did not provide an adequate response to the notice 
of initiation and, therefore, Commerce conducted expedited (120-day) 
sunset reviews of the Orders.
