                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.

                 Any party submitting factual information in an AD/CVD proceeding
                must certify to the accuracy and completeness of that information.\3\
                Parties must use the certification formats provided in 19 CFR
                351.303(g).\4\ Commerce intends to reject factual submissions if the
                submitting party does
                [[Page 18478]]
                not comply with applicable revised certification requirements.

                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 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\
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 \5\ See Definition of Factual Information and Time Limits for
                Submission of Factual Information: Final Rule, 78 FR 21246 (April
                10, 2013).
                 \6\ See Extension of Time Limits, 78 FR 57790 (September 20,
                2013).
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                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).
