SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 3, 2023, Commerce published the notice of initiation of
the sunset reviews of the AD orders on CWP from Brazil, Mexico, Korea,
and Taiwan, and pipes and tubes from Taiwan, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\1\ On January 17 and
18, 2023, Commerce received notices of intent to participate from the
domestic interested parties \2\ for each of the Orders,\3\ as required
by 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\4\ The domestic interested parties claimed
domestic interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as
manufacturers of a domestic like product in the United States. On
February 3, 2023, the domestic interested parties submitted a timely
substantive response for each of the sunset reviews within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\5\ Commerce did not
receive a substantive response from any other interested parties with
respect to the Orders covered by these sunset reviews. On February 24,
2023, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it
did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent
interested
[[Page 29881]]
parties in any of these sunset reviews.\6\ As a result, pursuant to
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2),
Commerce conducted expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of these Orders.
On April 21, 2023, Commerce requested that domestic interested parties
provide a new submission with corrected import data for the CWP from
Taiwan sunset review as well as the December 2022 import data for both
the CWP from Taiwan and the pipes and tubes from Taiwan sunset reviews
because the import data submitted for the CWP from Taiwan review was
incorrect.\7\ On April 24, 2023, the domestic interested parties
submitted updated import data for the CWP from Taiwan and the pipes and
tubes from Taiwan sunsets reviews.\8\
