 AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
 DATES: Applicable October 6, 2017.
 SUMMARY: As a result of these sunset reviews, the Department of Commerce (the Department) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on certain circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Brazil, Mexico, the Republic of Korea, and Taiwan and certain circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Taiwan would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. The magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail are indicated in the “Final Results of Sunset Review” section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On May 7, 1984, the Department published the 
                    *AD Order*
                     on certain circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Taiwan.[1]
                    
                     On November 2, 1992, the Department published the 
                    *AD Orders*
                     on imports of certain circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Brazil, the Republic of Korea (Korea), Mexico, and Taiwan, and an amendment to the final determination of sales at less than fair value for certain circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Korea.[2]
                    
                     On July 17, 2012, the Department published the notice of continuation of these 
                    *AD Orders.*[3] On June 2, 2017, the Department published the notice of initiation of the sunset reviews of the 
                    *AD Orders*
                     on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Brazil, Mexico, Korea, and certain circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Taiwan.[4]
                    
                     The 
                    *AD Order*
                     on certain circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Taiwan was inadvertently not included in the initiation notice. On June 16, 2017, the Department published a correction notice.[5] On June 30, 2017, the Department received complete substantive responses to the notices of initiation from domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties. As a result, the Department conducted an expedited, 
                    *i.e.,*
                     120-day, sunset review of these 
                    *AD Orders*
                     pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). Scope of the Orders Certain Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe From Brazil The products covered by these orders are circular welded non-alloy steel pipes and tubes, of circular cross-section, not more than 406.4 mm (16 inches) in outside diameter, regardless of wall thickness, surface finish (black, galvanized, or painted), or end finish (plain end, beveled end, threaded, or threaded and coupled). These pipes and tubes are generally known as standard pipes and tubes are intended for the low pressure conveyance of water, steam, natural gas, and other liquids and gases in plumbing and heating systems, air conditioning units, automatic sprinkler systems, and other related uses, and generally meet ASTM A-53 specifications. Standard pipe may also be used for light load-bearing applications, such as for fence tubing, and as structural pipe tubing used for framing and support members for reconstruction or load-bearing purposes in the construction, shipbuilding, trucking, farm equipment, and related industries. Unfinished conduit pipe is also included in these orders. All carbon steel pipes and tubes within the physical description outlined above are included within the scope of these orders, except line pipe, oil country tubular goods, boiler tubing, mechanical tubing, pipe and tube hollows for redraws, finished scaffolding, and finished conduit. Standard pipe that is dual or triple certified/stenciled that enters the U.S. as line pipe of a kind used for oil or gas pipelines is also not included in these orders. The Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice, provides a full description of the scope of the order.[6] Certain Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe From Mexico The products covered by this order are circular welded non-alloy steel pipes and tubes, of circular cross-section, not more than 406.4 millimeters (16 inches) in outside diameter, regardless of wall thickness, surface finish (black, galvanized, or painted), or end finish (plain end, beveled end, threaded, or threaded and coupled). These pipes and tubes are generally known as standard pipes and tubes and are intended for the low pressure conveyance of water, steam, natural gas, and other liquids and gases in plumbing and heating systems, air conditioning units, automatic sprinkler systems, and other related uses, and generally meet ASTM A-53 specifications.
