(the Department) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) 
orders on certain welded carbon steel pipes and tubes (pipes and tubes) 
from India, Thailand, and Turkey would likely lead to a continuation or

that are likely to prevail are identified in the ``Final Results of 
Review'' section of this notice.

DATES: Applicable October 5, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    In 1986, the Department published the AD orders on pipes and tubes 
from India, Thailand, and Turkey.\1\ On June 2, 2017, the Department 
published the notice of initiation of the fourth sunset review of the 
AD orders on pipes and tubes pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

25599 (June 2, 2017) (Initiation).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For each of these sunset reviews the Department received notice of 
intent to participate on behalf of Bull Moose Tube, TMK IPSCO Tubulars, 
Zekelman Industries, and EXLTUBE (collectively, the domestic interested 
parties) within the 15-day period specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). 
The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under 
section 771(9)(C) of the Act as producers in the United States of the 
domestic like product.
    On June 30, 2017, the Department received complete substantive 
responses to the Initiation from the domestic interested parties within 
the 30-day period, as specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\3\ We 
received no substantive responses from 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 is conducting expedited (120-
day) sunset reviews of the AD orders on pipe and tube from India, 
Thailand, and Turkey.

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act,

Scope of the Antidumping Duty Orders

India--Welded Carbon Steel Pipe and Tube (A-533-502)

    The products covered by the order include certain welded carbon 
steel standard pipes and tubes with an outside diameter of 0.375 
inch or more but not over 16 inches. These products are commonly 
referred to in the industry as standard pipes and tubes produced to 
various American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) 
specifications, most notably A-53, A-120, or A-135.
    The antidumping duty order on certain welded carbon steel 
standard pipes and tubes from India, published on May 12, 1986, 
included standard scope language which used the import 
classification system as defined by Tariff Schedules of the United 
States, Annotated (TSUSA). The United States developed a system of 
tariff classification based on the international harmonized system 
of customs nomenclature. On January 1, 1989, the U.S. tariff 
schedules were fully converted from the TSUSA to the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule (HTS). See, e.g., Certain Welded Carbon Steel 
Standard Pipes and Tubes from India; Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 56 FR 26650, 26651 (June 
10, 1991). As a result of this transition, the scope language we 
used in the 1991 Federal Register notice is slightly different from 
the scope language of the original final determination and 
antidumping duty order.
    Until January 1, 1989, such merchandise was classifiable under 
item numbers 610.3231, 610.3234, 610.3241, 610.3242, 610.3243, 
610.3252, 610.3254, 610.3256, 610.3258, and 610.4925 of the TSUSA. 
This merchandise is currently classifiable under HTS item numbers 
7306.30.1000, 7306.30.5025, 7306.30.5032, 7306.30.5040, 
7306.30.5055, 7306.30.5085, 7306.30.5090. As with the TSUSA numbers, 
the HTS numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes. 
The written product description remains dispositive.\5\

Turkey--Welded Carbon Steel Pipe and Tube (A-489-501)

    The products covered by this order include circular welded non-
alloy steel pipes and tubes, of circular cross-section, not more 
than 406.4 millimeters (16 inches) in outside diameter, regardless 
of wall thickness, surface finish (black, or galvanized, painted), 
or end finish (plain end, beveled end, threaded and coupled). Those 
pipes and tubes are generally known as standard pipe, though they 
may also be called structural or mechanical tubing in certain 
applications. Standard pipes and tubes are intended for the low 
pressure conveyance of water, steam, natural gas, air, and other 
liquids and gases in plumbing and heating systems, air conditioner 
units, automatic sprinkler systems, and other related uses. Standard 
pipe may also be used for light load-bearing and mechanical 
applications, such as for fence tubing, and for protection of 
electrical wiring, such as conduit shells.
    The scope is not limited to standard pipe and fence tubing, or 
those types of mechanical and structural pipe that are used in 
standard pipe applications. All carbon steel pipes and tubes within 
the physical description outlined above are included in the scope of 
this order, except for line pipe, oil country tubular goods, boiler 
tubing, cold-drawn or cold-rolled mechanical tubing, pipe and tube 
hollows for redraws, finished scaffolding, and finished rigid 
conduit.
    Imports of these products are currently classifiable under the 
following Harmonized
