Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel 

Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe 

From the People’s Republic of China: 

Final Results of Expedited Second 

Sunset Review of the Countervailing 

Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of this sunset 

review, the Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) finds that revocation of the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

seamless carbon and alloy steel 

standard, line and pressure pipe 

(seamless pipe) from the People’s 

Republic of China (China) would likely 

lead to the continuation or recurrence of 

countervailable subsidies at the levels 

indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Sunset 

Review’’ section of this notice. 

DATES: Applicable June 3, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 10, 2010, Commerce 

published the CVD Order on seamless 

pipe from China in the Federal 

Register.1 On February 1, 2021, 

Commerce published the notice of 

initiation of the second sunset review of 

the CVD Order 2 on seamless pipe from 

China pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act).3 On February 16, 2021, BENTELER 

Steel/Tube Manufacturing Corp. 

(BENTELER),4 Tenaris Bay City, Inc. 

and IPSCO Tubulars Inc. (in 

combination, Tenaris USA),5 United 

States Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel),6

and Vallourec Star, L.P. (Vallourec) 7

(collectively, domestic producers) filed 

timely notices of intent to participate in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1). 

Each of these companies claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act, as U.S. producers 

of the domestic like product. 

On March 3, 2021, Commerce 

received an adequate substantive 

response collectively from the domestic 

industry within the 30-day deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).8

Commerce did not receive substantive 

responses from any other domestic or 

respondent interested parties in this 

proceeding, nor was a hearing 

requested. 

On March 23, 2021, Commerce 

notified the U.S. International Trade 

Commission that it did not receive an 

adequate substantive response from 

respondent interested parties.9

Accordingly, Commerce conducted an 

expedited (120-day) sunset review of the 

CVD Order, pursuant to section 

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

351.218(e)(l)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2). 

Scope of the Order 

The scope of this order consists of 

certain seamless carbon and alloy steel 

(other than stainless steel) pipes and 

redraw hollows, less than or equal to 16 

inches (406.4 mm) in outside diameter, 

regardless of wall-thickness, 

manufacturing process (e.g., hotfinished or cold-drawn), end finish (e.g., 

plain end, beveled end, upset end, 

threaded, or threaded and coupled), or 

surface finish (e.g., bare, lacquered or 

coated). Redraw hollows are any 

unfinished carbon or alloy steel (other 

than stainless steel) pipe or ‘‘hollow 

profiles’’ suitable for cold finishing 

operations, such as cold drawing, to 

meet the American Society for Testing 

and Materials (ASTM) or American 

Petroleum Institute (API) specifications 

referenced below, or comparable 

specifications. Specifically included 

within the scope are seamless carbon 

and alloy steel (other than stainless 

steel) standard, line, and pressure pipes 

produced to the ASTM A–53, ASTM A– 

106, ASTM A–333, ASTM A–334, 

ASTM A–589, ASTM A–795, ASTM A– 

1024, and the API 5L specifications, or 

comparable specifications, and meeting 

the physical parameters described 

above, regardless of application, with 

the exception of the exclusion discussed 

below. 

Specifically excluded from the scope 

of the order are: (1) All pipes meeting 

aerospace, hydraulic, and bearing tubing 

specifications; (2) all pipes meeting the 

chemical requirements of ASTM A–335, 

whether finished or unfinished; and (3) 

unattached couplings. Also excluded 

from the scope of the order are all 

mechanical, boiler, condenser and heat 

exchange tubing, except when such 

products conform to the dimensional 

requirements, i.e., outside diameter and 

wall thickness of ASTM A–53, ASTM 

A–106 or API 5L specifications. 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is currently classified in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) under item
