SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department published the antidumping duty orders on butt-weld 
fittings from Italy, Malaysia, and the Philippines on February 23, 
2001.\1\ On June 2, 2017, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department initiated sunset reviews 
of the antidumping duty orders on butt-weld fittings from Italy, 
Malaysia, and the Philippines.\2\ On June 16, 2017, the Department 
received a notice of intent to participate from Core Pipe Products, 
Inc.; Shaw Alloy Piping Products, Inc.; and Taylor Forge Stainless, 
Inc. (collectively, the Domestic Interested Parties), within the 
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The Domestic Interested 
Parties are manufacturers of a domestic like product in the United 
States and, accordingly, are domestic interested parties pursuant to 
section 771(9)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping Duty Orders: Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe 
Fittings from Italy, Malaysia, and the Philippines, 66 FR 11257 
(February 23, 2001) (LTFV Orders).
    \2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 82 FR 25599 
(June 2, 2017) (Sunset Initiation).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 30, 2017, the Department received an adequate substantive 
response to the notice of initiation from Domestic Interested Parties 
within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The 
Department did not receive any timely filed responses from the 
respondent interested parties, i.e., butt-weld fitting producers and 
exporters from Italy, Malaysia, and the Philippines. On the basis of 
the notices of intent to participate and adequate substantive responses 
filed by the Domestic Interested Parties, and the inadequate response 
from any respondent interested party, the Department conducted an 
expedited (120-day) sunset review of the order pursuant to section 
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).

Scope of the Orders

    The product covered by the Orders is butt-weld fittings from Italy, 
Malaysia, and the Philippines.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ For a full description of the scope of the orders, See 
Memorandum, ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Expedited 
Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Orders on Stainless Steel 
Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Italy, Malaysia, and the Philippines,'' 
dated concurrently with this notice (Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis of Comments Received

    The issues discussed in the Decision Memorandum are: (1) The 
likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping, and (2) the

raised in this review, and the corresponding recommendations, in the 
Decision Memorandum, which is on file electronically via Enforcement 
and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized 
Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered

Final Results of Review

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, 
the Department determines that revocation of the antidumping duty 
orders of butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy, Malaysia, and the 
Philippines would likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of 
dumping and that the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail 
would be 26.59 percent for Italy, 7.51 percent for Malaysia, and up to 
33.81 percent for the Philippines.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility

notification of the return of destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is

notice in accordance with sections 751(c), 752(c), and 777(i)(1) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.218.
