Abstract
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) have determined that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on welded stainless pressure pipe from India would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, net countervailable subsidies, and material injury to an industry in the United States. Therefore, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these AD and CVD orders.

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) have determined that revocation of
the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on
welded stainless pressure pipe from India would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping, net countervailable subsidies,
and material injury to an industry in the United States. Therefore,
Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these AD and CVD
orders.
DATES: Applicable May 12, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 17, 2016, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the AD and CVD orders on welded stainless pressure pipe from India.\1\
On October 1, 2021, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the
sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ As a result of its reviews,
Commerce determined that revocation of the AD order would likely lead
to continuation or recurrence of dumping and that revocation of the CVD
order would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of
countervailable subsidies. Therefore, Commerce notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the dumping margins and net countervailable subsidy rates
likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked, pursuant to sections
751(c)(1)
[[Page 29110]]
and 752(b) and (c) of the Act.\3\ On May 5, 2022, the ITC published its
determinations, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that
revocation of the Orders would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States
within a reasonably foreseeable time.\4\
