countervailing duty (AD/CVD) order(s) listed below. The International 
Trade Commission (the Commission) is publishing concurrently with this 
notice its notice of Institution of Five-Year Reviews which covers the 
same order(s).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Commerce's procedures for the conduct of Sunset Reviews are set 
forth in its Procedures for Conducting Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 63 FR 13516 (March 20, 
1998) and 70 FR 62061 (October 28, 2005). Guidance on methodological or 
analytical issues relevant to Commerce's conduct of Sunset Reviews is 
set forth in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).

Initiation of Review

    In accordance with section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c), 
we are initiating the Sunset Reviews of the following antidumping and 
countervailing duty order(s): \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In the sunset initiation notice that published on April 1, 
2019 (84 FR 12227) Commerce inadvertently omitted the word ``pipe'' 
from the antidumping and countervailing duty cases Circular Welded 
Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe from China. Circular Welded Carbon 
Quality Steel Line Pipe is the correct case name. This serves as a 
correction notice.

    On April 10, 2013, Commerce modified two regulations related to AD/
CVD proceedings: The definition of factual information (19 CFR 
351.102(b)(21)), and the time limits for the submission of factual 
information (19 CFR 351.301).\5\ Parties are advised to review the 
final rule, available at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to submitting factual information in these 
segments. To the extent that other regulations govern the submission of 
factual information in a segment (such as 19 CFR 351.218), these time 
limits will continue to be applied. Parties are also advised to review 
the final rule concerning the extension of time limits for submissions 
in AD/CVD proceedings, available at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/1309frn/2013-22853.txt, prior to submitting factual information in 
these segments.\6\

Letters of Appearance and Administrative Protective Orders

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), Commerce will maintain and make 
available a public service list for these proceedings. Parties wishing 
to participate in any of these five-year reviews must file letters of 
appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)). To facilitate the timely 
preparation of the public service list, it is requested that those 
seeking recognition as interested parties to a proceeding submit an 
entry of appearance within 10 days of the publication of the Notice of 
Initiation. Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews can be very short, we 
urge interested parties who want access to proprietary information 
under administrative protective order (APO) to file an APO application 
immediately following publication in the Federal Register of this 
notice of initiation. Commerce's regulations on submission of 
proprietary information and eligibility to receive access to business 
proprietary information under APO can be found at 19 CFR 351.304-306.

Information Required From Interested Parties

    Domestic interested parties, as defined in section 771(9)(C), (D), 
(E), (F), and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b), wishing to 
participate in a Sunset Review must respond not later than 15 days 
after the date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of 
initiation by filing a notice of intent to participate. The required 
contents of the notice of intent to participate are set forth at 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with Commerce's regulations, if we do 
not receive a notice of intent to participate from at least one 
domestic interested party by the 15-day deadline, Commerce will 
automatically revoke the order without further review.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If we receive an order-specific notice of intent to participate 
from a domestic interested party, Commerce's regulations provide that 
all parties wishing to participate in a Sunset Review must file 
complete substantive responses not later than 30 days after the date of 
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation. The 
required contents of a substantive response, on an order-specific 
basis, are set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note that certain 
information requirements differ for respondent and domestic parties. 
Also, note that Commerce's information requirements are distinct from 
the Commission's information requirements. Consult Commerce's 
regulations for information regarding Commerce's conduct of Sunset 
Reviews. Consult Commerce's regulations at 19 CFR part 351 for 
definitions of terms and for other general information concerning 
antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings at Commerce.
    This notice of initiation is being published in accordance with 
section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c).
