SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from the People's Republic of China (China) would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies at the levels indicated in the “Final Results of Sunset Review” section of this notice. DATES: Applicable April 15, 2026. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David De Falco, Trade Agreements Policy and Negotiations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 202-482-2178. 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 1 See Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from the People's Republic of China: Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Dury Determination and Countervailing Duty Order, 75 FR 3203 (January 20, 2010) ( Order ). 2 See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 90 FR 55086 (December 1, 2025). 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 3 See USSTP's Letter, “Third Five-Year (“Sunset”) Review of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders on Oil Country Tubular Goods from China: Notice of Intent to Participate,” dated December 9, 2025 (USSTP Intent to Participate). 4 See USOMA's Letter, “Five-Year (“Sunset”) Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from the People's Republic of China: Domestic Interested Parties' Notice of Intent to Participate,” dated December 16, 2025 (USOMA Intent to Participate). 5 See USSTP Intent to Participate at 2. 6 See USOMA Intent to Participate at 2. 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). 7 See Domestic Interested Parties' Letter, “Five-Year (“Sunset”) Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from the People's Republic of China: Domestic Interested Parties' Substantive Response,” dated December 30, 2025 (Substantive Response). 8 See Commerce's Letter, “Sunset Reviews Initiated on December 1, 2025,” dated January 23, 2026. 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. 9 See Memorandum, “Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the Federal Government,” dated November 14, 2025. 10 See Memorandum, “Tolling of all Case Deadlines,” dated November 24, 2025.
