SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 6, 2001, Commerce published the AD order on line pipe 
from Japan.\1\ On September 3, 2024, Commerce published the notice of 
initiation of the fourth sunset review of the Order, pursuant to 
section 751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ 
On September 18, 2024, Commerce received a notice of intent to 
participate in this review from American Cast Iron Pipe Company, Berg 
Pipe Panama City Corp./Berg Pipe Mobile Corp., Dura-Bond Industries, 
Stupp Corporation, and Welspun Tubular LLC, individually and as members 
of the American Line Pipe Producers Association (ALPPA) (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 sections 771(9)(C) and (F) of the Act, as 
manufacturers of a domestic like product in the United States, and as 
an association of such manufacturers.\4\ On September 25, 2024, 
Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it 
received a notice of intent to participate from the domestic interested 
parties, and that the sunset review would continue.\5\

    On October 3, 2024, we received a complete substantive response for 
this review from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day 
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\6\ We received no 
substantive responses from any other interested parties, nor was a 
hearing requested. On October 31, 2024, Commerce notified the ITC that 
it did not receive an adequate substantive response from any 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)((C)(2).
