SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 3, 1995, Commerce published the AD order on seamless pipe
from Germany.\1\ On January 3, 2023, Commerce published the notice of
initiation of the sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On January
18, 2023, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate from
Vallourec Star, L.P. (Vallourec), a U.S. producer of seamless pipe,
within the 15-day deadline specified in section 771(9)(C) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ Vallourec claimed interested party
status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a domestic producer
engaged in the production of seamless pipe in the United States, a
domestic like product.\4\

On February 2, 2023, Vallourec submitted a timely and adequate
substantive response to the Initiation Notice within the 30-day
