SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 21, 2014, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD
orders on WSSPP from Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.\1\ On November 1,
2024, the ITC instituted,\2\ and on November 4, 2024, Commerce
initiated,\3\ the second 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\
