SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 29, 2004, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD orders on CVP-23 from India and China, and the CVD order on CVP-23 from India.1 On October 1, 2020, Commerce initiated, and the ITC instituted, five-year (sunset) reviews of the Orders pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 On February 5, 2021, and February 9, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register the results of its third expedited sunset reviews of the Orders on CVP-23 from India and China.3 As a result of its reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and of countervailable subsidies and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping and subsidy rates likely to prevail should the Orders be revoked.4
