BILLING CODE P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-588-850, A-588-851, A-485-805] Certain Large Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line and Pressure Pipe From Japan; Certain Small Diameter Carbon and Alloy Seamless Standard, Line and Pressure Pipe From Japan and Romania: Final Results of the Expedited Third Five-Year Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
DATES: Effective December 21, 2016. SUMMARY: As a result of these sunset reviews, the Department of Commerce (the Department) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on certain large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line and pressure pipe (large diameter pipe) from Japan and certain small diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line and pressure pipe (small diameter pipe) from Japan and Romania would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping at the margins identified in the “Final Results of Review” section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On September 1, 2016, the Department published the notice of initiation of the third sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on large diameter pipe from Japan and small diameter pipe from Japan and Romania, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 1 The Department received notices of intent to participate in both of the Japan reviews from TMK IPSCO, Vallourec Star, L.P. (Vallourec), and United States Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel), domestic interested parties (collectively, the petitioners) and a notice of intent to participate in the Romania review from Vallourec and U.S. Steel, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The petitioners claimed interested party status for each of these reviews under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as manufacturers of the domestic like product in the United States. 1 *See Initiation of Five-Year (“Sunset”) Review,* 81 FR 60343 (September 1, 2016). On October 3, 2016, the Department received a complete substantive response from the petitioners for each of the reviews within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no substantive responses from any respondent interested parties. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department conducted expedited sunset reviews of these antidumping duty orders.
