Republic of Turkey (Turkey) would likely lead to continuation or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 1, 2015, Commerce published the AD orders on welded
line pipe from Korea and Turkey,\1\ and the CVD order on welded line
pipe from Turkey.\2\ On November 2, 2020, the ITC instituted,\3\ and on
November 3, 2020, Commerce initiated,\4\ the first five-year (sunset)
reviews of the AD Orders and the CVD Order, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its
reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the AD Orders would be
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and revocation
of the CVD Order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence
of countervailable subsidies. Therefore, Commerce notified the ITC of
the magnitude of the margins of dumping and the net subsidy rates
likely to prevail should the AD Orders and the CVD Order be revoked.\5\

Scope of the Orders
The scope of these orders is circular welded carbon and alloy steel
(other than stainless steel) pipe of a kind used for oil or gas
pipelines (welded line pipe), not more than 24 inches in nominal
outside diameter, regardless of wall thickness, length, surface finish,
end finish, or stenciling. Welded line pipe is normally produced to the
American Petroleum Institute (API) specification 5L, but can be
produced to comparable foreign specifications, to proprietary grades,
or can be non-graded material. All pipe meeting the physical
description set forth above, including multiple-stenciled pipe with an
API or comparable foreign specification line pipe stencil is covered by
the scope of these orders.
The welded line pipe that is subject to these orders is currently
classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) under subheadings 7305.11.1030, 7305.11.5000, 7305.12.1030,
7305.12.5000, 7305.19.1030, 7305.19.5000, 7306.19.1010, 7306.19.1050,
7306.19.5110, and 7306.19.5150. The subject merchandise may also enter
in HTSUS 7305.11.1060 and 7305.12.1060. While the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description
of the scope of these orders is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that
revocation of the AD Orders and the CVD Order would likely lead to a
continuation or a recurrence of dumping, countervailable subsidies, and
material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to
section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), Commerce hereby
orders the continuation of the AD Orders and the CVD Order. U.S.
Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD and CVD cash
deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of
subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation of the AD Orders and the CVD
Order
[[Page 34721]]
will be the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice
of continuation. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year review
of the AD Orders and the CVD Order not later than 30 days prior to the
fifth anniversary of the effective date of continuation.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return/destruction or conversion to judicial protective
order of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with
19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Failure to comply is a violation of the APO which
may be subject to sanctions.
Notification to Interested Parties
These five-year (sunset) reviews and this notice are in accordance
with sections 751(c) and (d)(2) of the Act and published in accordance
with section 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
