SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On September 10, 2014, Commerce published the Orders on OCTG from India and Türkiye.[1] On July 1, 2025, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the sunset reviews of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.218(c).[2]

On July 16, 2025, Commerce received timely and complete notices of intent to participate in this review from the domestic interested parties,[3] within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[4] U.S. Steel claims that it has interested party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(v) as a U.S. producer of the domestic like product; USOMA claims that it has interested party status within the meaning of 771(9)(E) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(17) as a trade or business association in which all of its members produce the domestic like product in the United States.[5]

On July 31, 2025, Commerce received an adequate substantive response from the domestic interested parties, within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).[6] Commerce did not receive a substantive response from the Government of India, the Government of Türkiye, nor a respondent interested party to this proceeding. On August 22, 2025, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.[7] As a result, ( printed page 698) Commerce conducted expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days.[8] Additionally, due to a backlog of documents that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an additional 21 days.[9] Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now January 5, 2026.

The product covered by these Orders is OCTG from India and Türkiye. For the full description of the scope of the Orders, see the Issues and Decisions Memorandum.[10]
