notice of initiation of this third sunset review of the Order, pursuant
to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), with
an effective initiation date of November 3, 2025.\2\

(Order).
\2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 90 FR 55086
(December 1, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 9 and 16, 2025, Commerce received timely and complete
notices of intent to participate in the sunset review from the domestic
interested parties \3\ within the deadline specified in the 19 CFR

association, all of whose members producer the domestic like product in
the United States.\5\ USOMA claimed interested party status within the
meaning of section 771(9)(E) of the Act as a U.S. producer of the
domestic like product.\6\ On December 23, 2025, Commerce notified the
U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it had received a notice
of intent to participate from the domestic interested parties.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The domestic interested parties are United States Steel
Tubular Products, Inc. (USSTP) and U.S. OCTG Manufacturers

\9\ See Commerce's Letter, ``Sunset Review Initiated on December

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\10\ 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.\11\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final
results is now April 14, 2026.
