SUMMARY: As a result of this sunset review, the Department of Commerce 
(``the Department'') finds that revocation of the antidumping duty

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 23, 2010, the Department published the antidumping duty 
order on steel grating from the PRC.\1\ On June 1, 2015, the Department 
initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty order on steel 
grating from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act'').\2\ On June 15, 2015, the Department 
received a timely notice of intent to participate in the sunset review 
from the Metal Grating Coalition, consisting of individual members 
Alabama Metal Industries Corporation; Fisher & Ludlow, Inc.; Harsco 
Industrial IKG; Interstate Gratings, LLC; and Ohio Gratings, Inc., 
domestic interested parties, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). On 
July 1, 2015, the Metal Grating Coalition filed a timely substantive 
response with the Department pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The 
Department did not receive a substantive response from any respondent 
interested party. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department conducted an 
expedited sunset review of the Order.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in this sunset review are addressed in the 
Decision Memorandum. The issues discussed in the Decision Memorandum 
include the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the 
magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the Order were to be 
revoked.

Final Results of Sunset Review

    Pursuant to Section 752(c)(3) of the Act, the Department determines 
that revocation of the Order would likely lead to continuation or 
recurrence of dumping at weighted-average dumping margins up to 145.18 
percent.
