revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD)
orders on iron construction castings from Brazil, Canada, and the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 5, 1986, May 9, 1986, and May 15, 1986, Commerce published
the AD and CVD orders on iron construction castings from Brazil,
Canada, and the People's Republic of China (China).\1\ On December 1,
2021, the ITC instituted,\2\ and Commerce initiated,\3\ the fifth five-
year (sunset) reviews of these AD and CVD orders, 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 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\ On May 18, 2022, the ITC published its
determinations, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that
revocation of the Orders would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States
within a reasonably foreseeable time.\5\
