SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 21, 2003, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
AD order on certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from China.\1\ On
November 1 and 2, 2020, Commerce initiated,\2\ and the ITC
instituted,\3\ the fourth sunset review of the Order, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Suspension Agreement on Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon
Steel Plate from the People's Republic of China; Termination of
Suspension Agreement and Notice of Antidumping Duty Order, 68 FR
60081 (October 21, 2003) (Order).
\2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 85 FR 69585
(November 3, 2020).
\3\ See Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from China, Russia, and
Ukraine; Institution of Five-Year Reviews; 85 FR 69362 (November 2,
2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of its review, Commerce determined, pursuant to
sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c) of the Act, that revocation of the Order
would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. Commerce
therefore notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping
likely to prevail should the Order be revoked.\4\ On June 25, 2021, the
ITC published its determination that revocation of the Order would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time,
pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act.\5\
