SUMMARY: As a result of these expedited sunset reviews, the Department
of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty
(AD) orders on circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe (CWP) from
Oman, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) would likely lead to
a continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels identified in the
``Final Results of Sunset Reviews'' section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 19, 2016, Commerce published the AD orders on CWP from
Oman, Pakistan, and the UAE in the Federal Register.\1\ On November 1,
2021, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) published the notice of
initiation of the first sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On
November 16, 2021, Commerce received timely and complete notices of
intent to participate in these sunset reviews from Nucor Tubular
Products Inc. (Nucor Tubular), Bull Moose Tube Company (Bull Moose),
Wheatland Tube Company (Wheatland Tube), and Maruichi American Corp
(Maruichi American) (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 section
[[Page 9316]]
771(9)(C) of the Act as manufacturers in the United States of the
domestic like product.\4\

On December 1, 2021, the domestic interested parties filed timely
and adequate substantive responses, within the deadline specified in 19
CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\5\ Commerce did not receive adequate substantive
responses from any respondent interested party, nor was a hearing
requested.\6\ As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), we determine that the respondent
interested parties did not provide an adequate response to the notice
of initiation and, therefore, Commerce conducted expedited (120-day)
sunset reviews of the Orders.
