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 .
