70 FR 62097, October 28, 2005 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [C-489-502] Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review: Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe from Turkey AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: On July 1, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated a sunset review of the countervailing duty order (``CVD'') on welded carbon steel standard pipe from Turkey pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). See Initiation of Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 70 FR 38101 (July 1, 2005). On the basis of a notice of intent to participate and an adequate substantive response filed on behalf of the domestic interested parties and inadequate response from respondent interested parties (in this case, no response), the Department conducted an expedited sunset review of this CVD order pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B). As a result of this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the CVD order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy at the level indicated in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice. EFFECTIVE DATE: October 28, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kristen Johnson or David Goldberger, AD/CVD Operations, Import Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4793 or (202) 482-4136, respectively. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: Background On July 1, 2005, the Department initiated a sunset review of the CVD order on welded carbon steel standard pipe from Turkey pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation of Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 70 FR 38101 (July 1, 2005). The Department received a Notice of Intent to Participate from the following domestic interested parties: Allied Tube and Conduit, IPSCO Tubulars, Leavitt Tube Company, Maverick Tube Corporation, Northwest Pipe Company, Sharon Tube Company, Western Tube and Conduit, and Wheatland Tube Company (collectively, ``domestic interested parties'') within the deadline 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. The Department received a complete substantive response collectively from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). In the substantive response dated July 29, 2005, Copperweld Corporation and Maruichi American Corporation, two other domestic interested parties, expressed their intent to participate in the sunset review. The Department, however, did not receive a substantive response from any government or respondent interested party to this proceeding. 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 an expedited sunset review of this CVD order.
