SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 7, 1997, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD
order on persulfates from China.\1\ On July 1, 2024, the ITC
instituted,\2\ and Commerce initiated,\3\ the fifth sunset review of
the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). As a result of its review, Commerce determined,
pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(c) of the Act, that revocation of
the Order 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 Order be revoked.\4\
