(T[uuml]rkiye) would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 2, 2019, Commerce published the Order on welded pipe from
T[uuml]rkiye in the Federal Register.\1\ On February 1, 2024, Commerce
published the notice of initiation of the first five-year (sunset)
review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On February 16, 2024, Commerce received
a timely notice of intent to participate from the American Line Pipe
Producers Association Trade Committee (ALPPA), the domestic interested
party, within the 15-day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ ALPPA claimed interested party status under
section 771(9)(F) of the Act as an association, a majority of whose
members is composed of interested parties (i.e., manufacturers or
producers of the domestic like product).\4\

\1\ See Large Diameter Welded Pipe From the Republic of Turkey:
Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping Duty Determination and
Antidumping Duty Order, 84 FR 18799 (May 2, 2019) (Order).
\2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 89 FR 6499
(February 1, 2024) (Initiation Notice).
\3\ See ALPPA's Letter, ``Notice of Intent to Participate in
Sunset Review,'' dated February 16, 2024.
\4\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 4, 2024, Commerce received an adequate substantive
response to the Initiation Notice from the domestic interested party
within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\5\
Commerce did not receive a response from the Government of T[uuml]rkiye
(GOT) or from any other interested party. In accordance with section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act, because Commerce did not receive a substantive
response from the GOT or a respondent party, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B) and (e)(1)(ii)(C), respectively, we determined
that the respondent interested parties did not provide an adequate
response to the Initiation Notice. Therefore, on March 22, 2024,
Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did
not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested
parties, and that it would conduct an expedited (120-day) sunset review
of the Order.\6\
