SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 20, 2010, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
published the Order on OCTG from China.\1\ On December 1, 2025,
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 (the
Act) and 19 CFR 351.218(c).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from the People's
Republic of China: Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Dury
Determination and Countervailing Duty Order, 75 FR 3203 (January 20,
2010) (Order).
\2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 90 FR 55086
(December 1, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 9, 2025, and December 16, 2025, Commerce received a
notice of intent to participate in this review from United States Steel
Tubular Products (USSTP) \3\ and U.S. OCTG Manufacturers Association
(USOMA) \4\ (collectively, the domestic interested parties),
respectively, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).
USSTP claims that it has interested party status within the meaning of
section 771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(v) as a producer
of the domestic like product.\5\ USOMA claims that it has interested
party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.102(b)(29)(v) and (vii), as a trade or business association,
all of whose members produce the domestic like product.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See USSTP's Letter, ``Third Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders on Oil Country Tubular
Goods from China: Notice of Intent to Participate,'' dated December
9, 2025 (USSTP Intent to Participate).
\4\ See USOMA's Letter, ``Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review of the
Countervailing Duty Order on Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from
the People's Republic of China: Domestic Interested Parties' Notice
of Intent to Participate,'' dated December 16, 2025 (USOMA Intent to
Participate).
\5\ See USSTP Intent to Participate at 2.
\6\ See USOMA Intent to Participate at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 30, 2025, Commerce received an adequate substantive
response from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\7\ Commerce did not
receive a substantive response from either the Government of China or a
respondent interested party to this proceeding. On January 23, 2026,
Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it
did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent
interested parties.\8\ As a result, Commerce conducted an expedited
(120-day) sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Domestic Interested Parties' Letter, ``Five-Year
(``Sunset'') Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Certain Oil
Country Tubular Goods from the People's Republic of China: Domestic
Interested Parties' Substantive Response,'' dated December 30, 2025
(Substantive Response).
\8\ See Commerce's Letter, ``Sunset Reviews Initiated on
December 1, 2025,'' dated January 23, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\9\ Additionally, due to a backlog of documents
that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24,
2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an
additional 21 days.\10\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final
results is now April 14, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
\10\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of all Case Deadlines,'' dated
November 24, 2025.
