In accordance with section 751(a)(1)

administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request for review within 90 days of the

GPX, the only party to request a review
of Aeolus, GTC, Feichi, Huitong, Wanda

deadline. Therefore, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 29, 2009, Fisher & Ludlow
and Alabama Metal Industries
Corporation (hereafter referred to as
‘‘Petitioners’’) filed an antidumping
duty petition on PRC imports of steel
grating. See the Petitions for the
Imposition of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duties: Certain Steel
Grating from the PRC (‘‘the Petition’’).
The Department initiated an
antidumping duty investigation of steel
grating on June 25, 2009. See Certain
Steel Grating from the People’s Republic
of China: Initiation of Antidumping
Duty Investigation, 74 FR 30273 (June
25, 2009) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’).
On July 15, 2009, the United States
International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
issued its affirmative preliminary
determination that there is a reasonable
indication that an industry in the
United States is threatened with
material injury by reason of imports
from the PRC of steel grating. The ITC’s
determination was published in the
Federal Register on July 20, 2009. See
Certain Steel Grating from China, 74 FR
35204 (July 20, 2009); see also Certain

Department also posted the Q&V
questionnaire for this investigation on
its Web site at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/iahighlights-and-news.html. The
Department received timely Q&V
responses from six exporters that
shipped merchandise under
investigation to the United States during
the period of investigation (‘‘POI’’), and
from one company that stated it had no
shipments of merchandise under
investigation to the United States during
the POI.

selected Shanghai DAHE Grating Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Shanghai DAHE’’) and Ningbo
Jiulong Machinery Manufacturing Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Ningbo Jiulong’’) as mandatory
respondents in this investigation. See
