Carbazole Violet Pigment From India and the People's Republic of 
China: Continuation of the Antidumping Duty Orders and Countervailing 
Duty Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) and the 
International Trade Commission (the ITC) have determined that 
revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on carbazole violet 
pigment (CVP-23) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) and India 
would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and material 
injury to an industry in the United States. The Department and the ITC 
have also determined that revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) 
order on CVP-23 from India would likely lead to continuation or 
recurrence of net countervailable subsidies and material injury to an 
industry in the United States. Therefore, the Department is publishing 
a notice of continuation for these AD and CVD orders.

DATES: Effective Date: November 17, 2015.

continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies and material 
injury to an industry in the United States. Pursuant to section 
75l(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), the Department hereby
