hierarchy to only include CRC in 6 g/ 

g increments. Further, because 

Commerce revised the model match 

hierarchy, it did not address the CIT’s 

concerns regarding whether Commerce 

sufficiently verified the alternative cost 

and sales data upon which it relied in 

its final determination or further 

consider the issue of potential 

manipulation using the model match 

hierarchy put forth by LGC (i.e., 

including AUP, PERM, and CRC at 4 g/ 

g increments).6 The CIT sustained 

Commerce’s final redetermination.7

Timken Notice 

In its decision in Timken,8 as clarified 

by Diamond Sawblades,9 the U.S. Court 

of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held 

that, pursuant to sections 516A(c) and 

(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), Commerce must publish a 

notice of court decision that is not ‘‘in 

harmony’’ with a Commerce 

determination and must suspend 

liquidation of entries pending a 

‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s 

December 17, 2024, judgment 

constitutes a final decision of the CIT 

that is not in harmony with Commerce’s 

Final Determination. Thus, this notice is 

published in fulfillment of the 

publication requirements of Timken. 

Amended Final Determination 

Because there is now a final court 

judgment, Commerce is amending its 

Final Determination with respect to LGC 

and all other producers and exporters as 

follows: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

LG Chem, Ltd .................................. 26.05 

All Others ........................................ 26.05 

Amended AD Order 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(2) of the 

Act, Commerce shall ‘‘issue an 

antidumping duty order under section 

736’’ of the Act when the final 

determination is affirmative. As a result 

of this amended final determination, 

Commerce is hereby amending the 

Order to revise the weighted-average 

dumping margins assigned to LGC and 

all-other producers and exporters of 

subject merchandise, as noted above. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Because LGC does not have a 

superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there 

have been no final results published in 

a subsequent administrative review, and 

because of the change to the rate 

assigned to all other producers and 

exporters of subject merchandise, 

Commerce will issue revised cash 

deposit instructions to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 516A(c) and 

(e) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

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). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

Order is line pipe. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order,

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
