SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 3,
2017, Commerce initiated, and the ITC
instituted, the fourth sunset review of
the antidumping duty order on TRBs
from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).1 As a result of its review,
Commerce determined that revocation
of the antidumping duty order on TRBs
from China would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and, therefore, notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail should the order be revoked.2
On September 28, 2018, the ITC
published its determination, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation
of the antidumping duty order on TRBs
from China would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States within a reasonably foreseeable
time.3

would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of
the Act, Commerce hereby orders the
