SUMMARY: As a result of this expedited third sunset review, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the
antidumping duty (AD) order on certain circular welded carbon-quality
steel line pipe (line pipe) from the People's Republic of China (China)
would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the level
indicated in the ``Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review'' section
of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 13, 2009, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD
order on line pipe from China.\1\ On September 1, 2024, Commerce
published the notice of initiation of the third sunset review of the
Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).\2\ After Commerce initiated this sunset review of the Order,
the American Line Pipe Producers Association Welded Line Pipe Committee
\3\ (ALPPA), a domestic interested party, timely submitted a complete
notice of intent to participate in,\4\ and an adequate substantive
response regarding, the sunset review.\5\ ALPPA claimed interested
party status under section 771(9)(F) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.102(b)(29)(viii) because its members are producers of the domestic
like product and claimed that its members are domestic interested
parties under section 771(9)(C) of the Act (a manufacturer, producer,
or wholesaler in the United States of a domestic like product) and 19
CFR 351.102(b)(29)(v).\6\ Commerce did not receive a substantive
response from any respondent interested party, nor was a hearing
requested. Consequently, on October 31, 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.
