SUMMARY: As a result of these expedited sunset reviews, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the
antidumping duty (AD) orders on forged steel fittings from the People's
Republic of China (China), Taiwan, and Italy would be likely to lead to
the continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in
the ``Final Results of Sunset Reviews'' section of this notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis McClure, AD/CVD Operations,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 24, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the AD order on forged steel fittings from Taiwan,\1\ and subsequently
published AD orders for the same product from China and Italy on
November 26, 2018.\2\ On August 18, 2023, Commerce published the notice
of initiation of the first sunset reviews of the Orders,
[[Page 83910]]
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).\3\

Order, 83 FR 48280 (Sept 24, 2018) (Taiwan FSF Order).
\2\ See Forged Steel Fittings from Italy and the People's
Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Orders, 83 FR 60397 (November
26, 2018) (collectively, the Orders).
\3\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 88 FR 50110

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 16, 2023, Commerce received notices of intent to
participate in these reviews from Bonney Forge Corporation (Bonney
Forge), Phoenix Forge Group d/b/a Capitol Manufacturing Company, LLC
(Capitol Manufacturing Company), and the United Steel, Paper and
Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service
Workers International Union (USW) (collectively, the domestic
interested parties), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).\4\ Bonney Forge and Capitol Manufacturing Company
claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as
producers of the domestic like product in the United States. The USW is
a certified labor union whose members include workers at the facilities
in which the domestic like product is produced and is therefore an
interested party within the meaning of section 771(9)(D) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.102(b)(17). On August 31, 2023, Commerce received adequate
substantive responses from the domestic interested parties.\5\ We
received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 20, 2023, Commerce notified the U.S. International
Trade Commission that it did not receive substantive responses from any
respondent interested parties.\6\ As a result, pursuant to section
