SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On December 30, 1992, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the AD order and clarification of final determination for WSSP from
Korea, as well as the amended final determination and AD order for WSSP
from Taiwan.\1\

Determination and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Welded Stainless
Steel Pipe from the Republic of Korea, 60 FR 10064 (February 23,
1995) (collectively, Orders).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On May 2, 2022, the ITC instituted,\2\ and Commerce initiated,\3\
the five-year sunset reviews of the Orders, 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 Orders would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and, therefore, notified
the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail
should the Orders be revoked.\4\ On December 19, 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.\5\

Scope of the Orders
The products covered by the Orders are shipments of welded
stainless steel pipe (WSSP) from Korea and Taiwan that meet the
standards and specifications set forth by the American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) for the welded form of chromium-nickel
pipe designated ASTM A-312. WSSP is produced by forming stainless steel
flat rolled products into a tubular configuration and welding along the
seam. WSSP is a commodity product generally used as a conduit to
transmit liquids or gases. Major applications for WSSP include, but are
not limited to, digester lines, blow lines, pharmaceutical lines,
petrochemical stock lines, brewery process and transport lines, general
food processing lines, automotive paint lines and paper process
machines. Imports of these products are currently classifiable under
the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
subheadings: 7306.40.5005, 7306.40.5015, 7306.40.5040, 7306.40.5065 and
7306.40.5085. Although the HTSUS subheadings include both pipes and
tubes, the scope of the Orders is limited to welded austenitic
stainless steel pipes. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope
of the Orders is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that
revocation of the Orders would likely lead to a continuation or a
recurrence of dumping and of material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218, Commerce hereby orders the continuation of the Orders. U.S.
Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD 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 Orders 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 Orders 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
an 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). Timely notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. 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 751(d)(2) of the Act and published in
accordance with section 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
Dated: December 22, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
