Certain Circular Welded CarbonQuality Steel Line Pipe From the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of the Expedited Third Sunset 

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of this expedited 

third sunset review, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

finds that revocation of the antidumping 

duty (AD) order on certain circular 

welded carbon-quality steel line pipe 

(line pipe) from the People’s Republic of 

China (China) would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

at the level indicated in the ‘‘Final 

Results of Expedited Sunset Review’’ 

section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable January 3, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 13, 2009, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD order on line pipe from China.1 On 

September 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).2

After Commerce initiated this sunset 

review of the Order, the American Line 

Pipe Producers Association Welded 

Line Pipe Committee 3 (ALPPA), a 

domestic interested party, timely 

submitted a complete notice of intent to 

participate in,4 and an adequate 

substantive response regarding, the 

sunset review.5 ALPPA claimed 

interested party status under section 

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

351.102(b)(29)(viii) because its members 

are producers of the domestic like 

product and claimed that its members 

are domestic interested parties under 

section 771(9)(C) of the Act (a 

manufacturer, producer, or wholesaler 

in the United States of a domestic like 

product) and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(v).6

Commerce did not receive a substantive 

response from any respondent 

interested party, nor was a hearing 

requested. Consequently, on October 31, 

2024, Commerce notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission that it 

did not receive an adequate substantive 

response from any respondent 

interested parties.7 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 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is line pipe from China. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.8

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

SUMMARY: On December 26, 2024, the 

U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) 

issued its final judgment in BGH 

Edelstahl Siegen GmbH v. United 

States, Court No. 21–00080, Slip Op. 

24–148 (CIT December 26, 2024), 

sustaining the U.S. Department of 

Commerce’s (Commerce) fourth remand 

redetermination pertaining to the 

countervailing duty (CVD) investigation 

of Forged Steel Fluid End Blocks (FEBs) 

from the Germany covering the period 

of investigation, January 1, 2018, 

through December 31, 2018. Commerce 

is notifying the public that the CIT’s 

final judgment is not in harmony with 

Commerce’s final determination in that 

investigation, and that Commerce is 

amending the final determination and 

resulting CVD order with respect to the 

countervailable subsidy rates assigned 

to BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH (BGH 

Siegen), Schmiedewerke Gro ̈ditz GmbH 

(SWG), voestalpine Bohler Group 

(voestalpine Bohler), and all others.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 11, 2020, Commerce 

published its final determination in the 

CVD investigation of FEBs from 

Germany.1 Commerce calculated 

countervailable subsidy rates of 5.86 

percent for BGH Siegen, 6.71 percent for 

SWG, 14.81 percent for voestalpine 

Bohler, and 6.29 percent for all other 

producers/exporters of FEBs in 

Germany.2 Commerce subsequently 

published the CVD order on FEBs from 

Germany.3

BGH Siegen appealed Commerce’s 

Final Determination. On October 12, 

2022, the CIT remanded the Final 

Determination to Commerce, directing 

Commerce to: (1) consider in the first 

instance whether to account for the 

compliance costs in its calculation of 

the CVD rates for subsidy programs 

under the Electricity Tax Act and 

Energy Tax Act; and (2) explain or 

reconsider its determination that the 

Konzessionsabgabenverordnung (KAV) 

Program is a specific subsidy.4

In the First Remand Results, issued in 

January 2023, Commerce explained its 

determination not to account for 

compliance costs in its calculation of 

the CVD rates for programs under the 

Electricity Tax Act and Energy Tax Act.5

Commerce also further explained its 

determination that the KAV Program is 

specific.6 However, Commerce made no 

changes to the final subsidy rates 

calculated during the investigation.7

In its Second Remand Order, the CIT 

sustained Commerce’s First Remand 

Results with respect to the Electricity 

Tax Act and Energy Tax Act.8 However, 

with respect to the KAV Program, the 

CIT held that Commerce’s First Remand 

Results failed to explain: (1) how the 

amount of electricity consumed or the 

electricity prices paid by companies are 

not economic in nature; and (2) how 

criteria based solely on electricity 

consumption and pricing are not 

horizontal in application.9 Regarding 

the latter, the CIT explained that for the 

KAV Program’s criteria to be vertical in 

application, the criteria would need to 

expressly limit the program’s 

application to specifically named 

enterprises or industries or a group of
