US DOC: Preliminary results of sunset review on OCTG from Mexico

On the basis of the notices of intent to participate and an adequate substantive response filed on behalf of the domestic interested parties and adequate responses from the respondent interested parties, the DOC has conducted a full sunset review of the order.
