SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 29, 2014, Commerce
published its antidumping duty order
on diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated
flat-rolled steel products from Japan in
the Federal Register.1 On April 1, 2019,
the ITC instituted,2 and Commerce
initiated,3 the first sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on diffusionannealed, nickel-plated flat-rolled steel
products from Japan, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act). As a result of its
review, Commerce determined that
revocation of the Order on diffusionannealed, nickel-plated flat-rolled steel
products from Japan would likely lead
to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins of dumping
likely to prevail were the orders
revoked.4
On October 2, 2019, the ITC
published its determination, pursuant to
sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act,
that revocation of the Order would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence
of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.5

Methodology
We are conducting this administrative
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). For each of the
subsidy programs found
countervailable, we determine that there
is a subsidy, i.e., a financial
contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that
confers a benefit to the recipient, and
that the subsidy is specific.8 For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our preliminary conclusions,
including our reliance, in part, on
adverse facts available pursuant to
sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
A list of topics included in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
provided in the appendix to this notice.
The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov, and is

parties requested reviews of Geelong, Geelong Sales

International (HK) Ltd. However, neither of the
latter two companies produce subject merchandise
and we preliminarily determine that neither of
these two companies received any subsidies. See
