Abstract
As a result of the determinations by the Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the International Trade Commission (ITC) that revocation of the antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on steel grating from the People's Republic of China (China) would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, net countervailable subsidies, and material injury to an industry in the United States, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these AD and CVD orders.

of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders

SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the International Trade Commission (ITC) that
revocation of the antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders
on steel grating from the People's Republic of China (China) would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, net
countervailable subsidies, and material injury to an industry in the
United States, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these
AD and CVD orders.
DATES: Applicable June 1, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 23, 2010, Commerce published both the AD and CVD orders on
steel grating from China.\1\ On October 1, 2020, the ITC instituted,\2\
and on Commerce initiated,\3\ the second five-year (sunset) reviews of
the AD and CVD orders on steel grating from China, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of
its reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the Orders on steel
grating from China would be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies and, therefore,
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins and net subsidy rates
likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked.\4\

Scope of the Orders
The product covered by these Orders is certain steel grating,
consisting of two or more pieces of steel, including load-bearing
pieces and cross pieces, joined by any assembly process, regardless of:
(1) Size or shape; (2) method of manufacture; (3) metallurgy (carbon,
alloy, or stainless); (4) the profile of the bars; and (5) whether or
not they are galvanized, painted, coated, clad or plated. Steel grating
is also commonly referred to as ``bar grating,'' although the
components may consist of steel other than bars, such as hot-rolled
sheet, plate, or wire rod.
The scope of these Orders excludes expanded metal grating, which is
comprised of a single piece or coil of sheet or thin plate steel that
has been slit and expanded, and does not involve welding or joining of
multiple pieces of steel. The scope of these Orders also excludes plank
type safety grating which is comprised of a single piece or coil of
sheet or thin plate steel, typically in thickness of 10 to 18 gauge,
that has been pierced and cold formed, and does not involve welding or
joining of multiple pieces of steel.
Certain steel grating that is the subject of these Orders is
currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) under subheading 7308.90.7000. While the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of these Orders is dispositive.

Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that
revocation of the Orders would likely lead to a continuation or a
recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies and of material
injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the
continuation of the Orders. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will
continue to collect AD and CVD cash deposits at the rates in effect at
the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation of the Orders will be the
date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of
continuation. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year review
of the Orders not later than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of
the effective date of continuation.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return/destruction or conversion to judicial protective
order of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with
19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Failure to comply is a violation of the APO which
may be subject to sanctions.
Notification to Interested Parties
These five-year (sunset) reviews and this notice are in accordance
with sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act and published in
accordance with section 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
