The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has voted to conduct full five-year sunset reviews for countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on stainless steel sheet and strip from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom. The reviews pertain to Inv. Nos. 701-TA-380-382 and 731-TA-797-804 (Review).
With respect to France, Germany, Italy, Korea, and Mexico, all six Commissioners concluded that both the domestic and the respondent group responses were adequate and voted for full reviews. With respect to Japan, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom, all six Commissioners concluded that the domestic group response was adequate and the respondent group responses were inadequate, but that circumstances warrant full reviews.
As a result of the votes, the Commission will conduct full reviews to determine whether revocation of these orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.

The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the ITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (ITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time. The Commission's notice of institution in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file with the Commission responses that discuss the likely effects of revoking the order under review and provide other pertinent information. If responses to the ITC's notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires. |
