Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel 

Line Pipe From the People’s Republic 

of China: Final Results of the 

Expedited 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 line pipe (welded line 

pipe) from the People’s Republic of 

China (China) would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of 

countervailable subsidies at the levels 

indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of the 

Sunset Review’’ section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable December 26, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 23, 2009, Commerce 

published the Order on welded line 

pipe from China.1 On June 9, 2016, 

Commerce implemented its revised 

countervailable subsidy rates pursuant 

to the findings in the section 129 

proceeding of the Uruguay Round 

Agreements Act.2 On September 3, 

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 September 17, 2024, 

Commerce received a notice of intent to 

participate from the American Line Pipe 

Producers Association Welded Line 

Pipe Committee 4 (the domestic 

interested party), within the deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).5

The domestic interested party claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.102(b)(29)(viii) as an association 

whose members are domestic producers 

of the domestic like product. 

On October 3, 2024, Commerce 

received an adequate substantive 

response from the domestic interested 

party within the 30-day deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).6

Commerce did not receive a substantive 

response from any government or 

respondent interested party to this 

proceeding. On October 31, 2024, 

Commerce notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission that it 

did not receive an adequate substantive 

response from respondent interested 

parties.7 As a result, Commerce 

conducted an expedited (120-day) 

sunset review of the Order, pursuant to 

section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

Order is welded line pipe from China. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of the Order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.8

Analysis of Comments Received 

A complete discussion of all issues 

raised in this sunset review, including 

the likelihood of continuation or 

recurrence of subsidization and the 

countervailable subsidy rates likely to 

prevail if the Order were to be revoked, 

is provided in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the topics 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is attached as an 

appendix to this notice. The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public

Final Results of Sunset Review

following net countervailable subsidy 

rates:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 705(d), 

735(d), and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), on October 

28, 2024, Commerce published its 

affirmative final determination of sales 

at less than fair value (LTFV) of shrimp 

from Indonesia,1 and its affirmative 

final determinations that 

countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

shrimp from Ecuador, India, and 

Vietnam.2

On December 12, 2024, pursuant to 

sections 705(d) and 735(d) of the Act, 

the ITC notified Commerce of its final 

affirmative determinations that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of dumped 

imports of shrimp from Indonesia, and 

subsidized imports of shrimp from 

Ecuador, India, and Vietnam, within the 

meaning of sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act.3 On December 

17, 2024, the ITC published its final 

determinations in the Federal Register.4

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by these 

orders is frozen warmwater shrimp from 

Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of the orders, see the appendix to this 

notice. 

AD Order 

On December 12, 2024, in accordance 

with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its final 

determinations that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of 

imports of shrimp from Indonesia that 

are sold in the United States at LTFV.5

Therefore, in accordance with sections 

735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce 

is issuing this AD order. Because the 

ITC determined that imports of shrimp 

from Indonesia are materially injuring a 

U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of 

such merchandise from Indonesia, 

entered or withdrawn from warehouse 

for consumption, are subject to the 

assessment of antidumping duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will 

direct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, antidumping 

duty deposits equal to the amount by 

which the normal value of the 

merchandise exceeds the export price 

(or constructed export price) of the 

merchandise on all relevant entries of 

shrimp from Indonesia. Antidumping 

duties will be assessed on unliquidated 

entries of shrimp entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after May 30, 2024, the date of 

publication of the LTFV Preliminary 

Determination,6 but will not include 

entries occurring after the expiration of 

the provisional measures period and 

before publication of the ITC’s final 

injury determination, as further 

described below. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation and Cash Deposits—AD 

Except as noted in the ‘‘Provisional 

Measures—AD’’ section of this notice, 

Commerce intends to instruct CBP to 

continue to suspend liquidation on all 

relevant entries of shrimp from 

Indonesia, in accordance with section 

736 of the Act. Because the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculated for PT Bahari Makmur Sejati 

(BMS) in the Final Determination was 

zero,7 entries of subject merchandise 

produced and exported by BMS will not 

be subject to this order. Accordingly, 

Commerce will direct CBP not to 

suspend liquidation of, or to require
