Abstract
As a result of the determinations by the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on: certain welded carbon steel pipes and tubes (pipes and tubes) from India, Thailand, and the Republic of Turkey (Turkey); certain circular welded non-alloy steel pipe (non-alloy steel pipe) from Mexico, the Republic of Korea (Korea), and Taiwan; and certain circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes (circular pipes and tubes) from Taiwan would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United States, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these AD orders. Additionally, as a result of determinations by Commerce and the ITC that revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on pipes and tubes from Turkey would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies and material injury to an industry in the United States, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of this CVD order. Furthermore, as a result of the ITC's determination that revocation of the AD order on non-alloy steel pipe from Brazil is not likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States, Commerce is revoking the AD order on pipes and tubes from Brazil.

Certain Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes From India, Thailand,
and the Republic of Turkey; Certain Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel
Pipe From Brazil, Mexico, the Republic of Korea, and Taiwan; and
Certain Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes From Taiwan:
Continuation of Antidumping Duty Orders (India, Mexico, the Republic of
Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the Republic of Turkey), Continuation of
Countervailing Duty Order (the Republic of Turkey), and Revocation of
Antidumping Duty Order (Brazil)
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on: certain welded
carbon steel pipes and tubes (pipes and tubes) from India, Thailand,
and the Republic of Turkey (Turkey); certain circular welded non-alloy
steel pipe (non-alloy steel pipe) from Mexico, the Republic of Korea
(Korea), and Taiwan; and certain circular welded carbon steel pipes and
tubes (circular pipes and tubes) from Taiwan would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an
industry in the United States, Commerce is publishing a notice of
continuation of these AD orders. Additionally, as a result of
determinations by Commerce and the ITC that revocation of the
countervailing duty (CVD) order on pipes and tubes from Turkey would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies
and material injury to an industry in the United States, Commerce is
publishing a notice of continuation of this CVD order. Furthermore, as
a result of the ITC's determination that revocation of the AD order on
non-alloy steel pipe from Brazil is not likely to lead to continuation
or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States,
Commerce is revoking the AD order on pipes and tubes from Brazil.
DATES: AD Revocation (Brazil): Applicable February 7, 2023; AD and CVD
Continuations (India, Mexico, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, and Turkey):
Applicable January 4, 2024.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On January 3, 2023, Commerce initiated, and the ITC instituted the
fifth sunset review of the AD orders on pipes and tubes from India,
Thailand, and Turkey; non-alloy steel pipe from Brazil, Mexico, Korea,
and Taiwan; circular pipes and tubes from Taiwan; and the CVD order on
pipes and tubes from Turkey, pursuant to section 751(copyright) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of its reviews, Commerce determined, pursuant to
sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c) of the Act, that revocation of the AD
orders on pipes and tubes from India, Thailand, and Turkey; non-alloy
steel pipe from Brazil, Mexico, Korea, and Taiwan; and circular pipes
and tubes from Taiwan would likely lead to the continuation or
recurrence of dumping and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude
of the margins of dumping likely to prevail should these AD orders be
revoked.\5\ Additionally, Commerce determined pursuant to sections
751(c)(1) and 752(b) of the Act, that revocation of the CVD order on
pipes and tubes from Turkey would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of countervailable subsidies and notified the ITC of the net
countervailable subsidy rates likely to prevail should the order be
revoked.\6\

Appendix--Scope of the Antidumping Duty Orders and Countervailing Duty
Order
Certain Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes From India (A-533-502)
The products covered by this order are certain welded carbon
steel standard pipes and tubes with an outside diameter of 0.375
inch or more but not over 16 inches. These products are commonly
referred to in the industry as standard pipes and tubes produced to
various American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM)
specifications, most notably A-53, A-120, or A-135.
The antidumping duty order on certain welded carbon steel
standard pipes and tubes from India, published on May 12, 1986,
included standard scope language which used the import
classification system as defined by Tariff Schedules of the United
States, Annotated (TSUSA). The United States developed a system of
tariff classification based on the international harmonized system
of customs nomenclature. On January 1, 1989, the U.S. tariff
schedules were fully converted from the TSUSA to the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). See, e.g., Certain
Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipes and Tubes from India; Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 56 FR 26650,
26651 (June 10, 1991). As a result of this transition, the scope
language we used in the 1991 Federal Register notice is slightly
different from the scope language of the original final
determination and antidumping duty order.
Until January 1, 1989, such merchandise was classifiable under
item numbers 610.3231, 610.3234, 610.3241, 610.3242, 610.3243,
610.3252, 610.3254, 610.3256, 610.3258, and 610.4925 of the TSUSA.
This merchandise is currently classifiable under HTS item numbers
7306.30.1000, 7306.30.5025, 7306.30.5032, 7306.30.5040,
7306.30.5055, 7306.30.5085, 7306.30.5090. As with the TSUSA numbers,

hereinafter designated as ``pipes and tubes.'' The merchandise is
classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) item numbers 7306.30.1000, 7306.30.5025,
7306.30.5032, 7306.30.5040, 7306.30.5055, 7306.30.5085 and
