International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of determinations
by the Department of Commerce (the
Department) and the International Trade
Commission (ITC) that revocation of the
antidumping duty (AD) orders on
certain stainless steel sheet and strip
(SSSS) in coils from Japan, the Republic
of Korea (Korea), and Taiwan, and the
countervailing duty (CVD) order on
SSSS in coils from Korea would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and countervailable subsidies
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, the Department is
publishing notice of the continuation of
the AD orders and the CVD order.
DATES: Applicable October 3, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
On July 27, 1999, the Department
published the AD orders on SSSS in
coils from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.1
On August 6, 1999, the Department
published the CVD order on SSSS in
coils from Korea.2 On July 1, 2016, the
Department published the notice of
initiation of its third sunset reviews of
the AD Orders on SSSS in coils from
Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and its third
sunset review of the CVD Order on
SSSS in coils from Korea, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act).3 On July 1, 2016,
the ITC instituted its review of the
Orders.4
As a result of these sunset reviews,
the Department found that revocation of
the AD orders on SSSS in coils from
Japan, Korea, and Taiwan would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping, and that revocation of the
CVD order would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of
countervailable subsidies.5 The
Department, therefore, notified the ITC
of the magnitude of the dumping
margins and net countervailable subsidy
rates likely to prevail should the AD
orders and CVD order be revoked.
On September 26, 2017, pursuant to
sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act,
the ITC published its determination that
revocation of the AD orders on SSSS in
coils from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan and
revocation of the CVD order on SSSS in

In addition, as a result of changed
circumstances reviews,12 the
Department revoked, in part, the
Japanese AD order with respect to
imports of the following products:
• Stainless steel welding electrode
strips that are manufactured in
accordance with American Welding
Society (AWS) specifications
ANSIIAWS A5.9–93.13
• Certain stainless steel used for razor
blades, medical surgical blades, and
industrial blades that are sold under
proprietary names such as DSRIK7,
DSRIKA, and DSRIK9.14
• Certain stainless steel lithographic
sheet that is made of 304-grade stainless
steel.15
• Certain nickel clad stainless steel
sheet.16
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the AD orders and the
CVD order would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and countervailable subsidies and
material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(a), the Department hereby
orders the continuation of the AD orders
on SSSS in coils from Japan, Korea, and
Taiwan and the CVD order on SSSS in
coils from Korea.

Certain Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils From Japan, the
Republic of Korea, and Taiwan; Continuation of Antidumping Duty Orders
and Countervailing Duty Order
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of determinations by the Department of Commerce
(the Department) and the International Trade Commission (ITC) that
revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on certain stainless
steel sheet and strip (SSSS) in coils from Japan, the Republic of Korea
(Korea), and Taiwan, and the countervailing duty (CVD) order on SSSS in
coils from Korea would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and countervailable subsidies and material injury to an
industry in the United States, the Department is publishing notice of
the continuation of the AD orders and the CVD order.
DATES: Applicable October 3, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 27, 1999, the Department published the AD orders on SSSS in
coils from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.\1\ On August 6, 1999, the
Department published the CVD order on SSSS in coils from Korea.\2\ On
July 1, 2016, the Department published the notice of initiation of its
third sunset reviews of the AD Orders on SSSS in coils from Japan,
Korea, and Taiwan, and its third sunset review of the CVD Order on SSSS
in coils from Korea, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).\3\ On July 1, 2016, the ITC instituted its
review of the Orders.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order; Stainless Steel Sheet
and Strip in Coils from Japan, 64 FR 40565 (July 27, 1999); and
Notice of Antidumping Duty Order; Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in
Coils from United Kingdom, Taiwan and South Korea, 64 FR 40555 (July
27, 1999) (collectively, AD Orders).
\2\ See Amended Final Determination: Stainless Steel Sheet and
Strip in Coils from the Republic of Korea; and Notice of
Countervailing Duty Orders: Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils
from France, Italy, and the Republic of Korea, 64 FR 42923 (August
6, 1999) (CVD Order).
\3\ See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 81 FR 43185
(July 1, 2016).
\4\ See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Japan,
Korea, and Taiwan; Institution of a Five-Year Reviews, 81 FR 43238
(July 1, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of these sunset reviews, the Department found that
revocation of the AD orders on SSSS in coils from Japan, Korea, and
Taiwan would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and
that revocation of the CVD order would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of countervailable subsidies.\5\ The Department, therefore,
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the dumping margins and net
countervailable subsidy rates likely to prevail should the AD orders
and CVD order be revoked.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from Japan, the
Republic of Korea, and Taiwan: Final Results of the Expedited Sunset
Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders, 81 FR 78114 (November 7,
2016); see also Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from the
Republic of Korea: Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review of the
Countervailing Duty Order, 81 FR 78111 (November 7, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 26, 2017, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of
the Act, the ITC published its determination that revocation of the AD
orders on SSSS in coils from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan and revocation of
the CVD order on SSSS in coils from Korea would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.\6\

Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC
that revocation of the AD orders and the CVD order would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies and
material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to
section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the AD orders on SSSS in coils from
Japan, Korea, and Taiwan and the CVD order on SSSS in coils from Korea.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD and
CVD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the
[[Page 46039]]
time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective
date of continuation of these orders will be the date of publication in
the Federal Register of this notice of continuation. Pursuant to
section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department intends to initiate the
next five-year reviews of these orders not later than 30 days prior to
the fifth anniversary of the effective date of continuation.
