that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on stainless steel
plate in coils (SSPC) from Belgium, South Africa, and Taiwan, and the
countervailing duty (CVD) order on SSPC from South Africa would likely

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 11, 1999, Commerce published the CVD Order on SSPC from
South Africa.\1\ On May 21, 1999, Commerce published the AD Orders on
SSPC from Belgium, South Africa, and Taiwan.\2\ On December 1, 2021,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), Commerce published the initiation of the fourth sunset reviews of
the Orders and the ITC instituted its review of the Orders.\3\ As a
result of its reviews, Commerce determined that that revocation of the
AD Orders would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping
and that revocation of the CVD Order would likely lead to the
continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies. Commerce,
therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins and net
countervailable subsidy rates likely to prevail should the Orders be
revoked.\4\
