SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On January 20, 2010, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) published the Order on OCTG from China. (1) On December 1, 2025, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the third sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.218(c). (2)

On December 9, 2025, and December 16, 2025, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this review from United
States Steel Tubular Products (USSTP) (3) and U.S. OCTG Manufacturers Association (USOMA) (4) (collectively, the domestic interested parties), respectively, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). USSTP
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 producer of the domestic like product. (5) USOMA 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)
and (vii), as a trade or business association, all of whose members produce the domestic like product. (6)

On December 30, 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). (7) Commerce did not receive a substantive response from either the Government of China or a respondent interested party to this
proceeding. On January 23, 2026, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an
adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties. (8) As a result, Commerce 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)(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. (9) 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. (10) Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now April 14, 2026.
