**Background**
On January 3, 2023, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset review of the *Order,*[^1] pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). [^2] On January 18, 2023, ArcelorMittal Tubular Products, Michigan Seamless Tube, LLC, PTC Alliance Corp., Webco Industries, Inc., and Zekelman Industries, Inc. (collectively, domestic interested parties), timely notified Commerce of their intent to participate within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). [^3] On February 2, 2023, Commerce received a complete substantive response from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day period specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). [^4] Commerce received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties. Based on the notice of intent to participate and adequate response filed by the domestic interested parties, and the lack of response from any respondent interested party, Commerce conducted an expedited sunset review of the *Order,* pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).
