SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 27, 1989, Commerce published the AD order on LWR tubing
from Taiwan.\1\ On July 1, 2022, Commerce initiated,\2\ and the ITC
instituted,\3\ a sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Carbon Steel Tubing from Taiwan, 54 FR 12467(March 27, 1989)
(Order).
\2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 87 FR 39459
(July 1, 2022).
\3\ See Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube from Taiwan;
Institution of a Five-Year Review, 87 FR 39562 (July 1, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, and,
therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping
rates likely to prevail should the Order be revoked.\4\ On February 28,
2023, the ITC published its determination that revocation of the
[[Page 13782]]
Order would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.\5\
