SUMMARY: As a result of this expedited third sunset review, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the

pipe from the People's Republic of China (China) would likely lead to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
After Commerce initiated this sunset review \1\ of the Order,\2\
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), domestic interested parties \3\ timely submitted complete notices
of intent to participate in,\4\ and an adequate substantive response
regarding, the review.\5\ The domestic interested parties claimed
interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as producers
of the domestic like product in the United States.\6\ Commerce did not
receive a substantive response from any respondent interested party,
nor was a hearing requested. Consequently, on June 21, 2024, Commerce
notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not
receive an adequate substantive response from any respondent interested
parties.\7\ 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 an expedited
(120-day) sunset review of the Order. On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled
certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days.\8\
The deadline for the final results of this expedited sunset review is
now September 5, 2024.
