SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 7, 2001, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the AD orders on rebar from Belarus, China, Indonesia, Latvia, Moldova,
Poland, and Ukraine.\1\ On November 1, 2023, the ITC instituted,\2\ and
Commerce initiated,\3\ the fourth sunset review of the 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 likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping,
and therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of
dumping likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked.\4\
