The Department of Commerce (the Department) and the International Trade Commission (the ITC) have determined that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain steel grating (steel grating) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) 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 steel grating from the PRC 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.

Certain Steel Grating From the People's Republic of China: 
Continuation of the Antidumping Duty Order and Countervailing Duty 
Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) and the 
International Trade Commission (the ITC) have determined that 
revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain steel grating 
(steel grating) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) 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 
steel grating from the PRC 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 12, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 1, 2015, the Department initiated \1\ and the ITC 
instituted \2\ five-year (sunset) reviews of the AD and CVD orders on 
steel grating from the PRC,\3\ pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its reviews, the 
Department determined that revocation of the AD order would likely lead 
to continuation or recurrence of dumping and that revocation of the CVD 
order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of net 
countervailable subsidies. Therefore, the Department notified the ITC 
of the magnitude of the margins and the subsidy rates likely to prevail 
should the orders be revoked, pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(b) 
and (c) of the Act.\4\

    On November 4, 2015, the ITC published its determination that 
revocation of the AD and CVD orders on steel grating from the PRC would 
likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an 
industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time, 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act.\5\

Scope of the Orders

    The products covered by these orders are certain steel grating, 
consisting of two or more pieces of steel, including load-bearing 
pieces and cross pieces, joined by any assembly process, regardless of: 
(1) Size or shape; (2) method of manufacture; (3) metallurgy (carbon, 
alloy, or stainless); (4) the profile of the bars; and (5) whether or 
not they are galvanized, painted, coated, clad or plated. Steel grating 
is also commonly referred to as ``bar grating,'' although the 
components may consist of steel other than bars, such as hot-rolled 
sheet, plate, or wire rod.
    The scope of the orders excludes expanded metal grating, which is 
comprised of a single piece or coil of sheet or thin plate steel that 
has been slit and expanded, and does not involve welding or joining of 
multiple pieces of steel. The scope of the orders also excludes plank 
type safety grating which is comprised of a single piece or coil of 
sheet or thin plate steel, typically in thickness of 10 to 18 gauge, 
that has been pierced and cold formed, and does not involve welding or 
joining of multiple pieces of steel.
    Certain steel grating that is the subject of the orders is 
currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States (HTSUS) under subheading 7308.90.7000. While the HTSUS 
subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the 
written description of the scope of the orders is dispositive.

Continuation of the Orders

    As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC 
that revocation of the AD order would likely lead to a continuation or 
recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United 
States, and revocation of the CVD order would likely lead to 
continuation or recurrence of 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 and CVD orders on steel grating from 
the PRC. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD 
and CVD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for 
all imports of subject merchandise.
    The effective date of the continuation of the AD and CVD 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 and 19 CFR 
351.218(c)(2), the Department intends to initiate the next five-year 
review of these orders not later than 30 days prior to the fifth 
anniversary of the effective date of this continuation notice.
    These five-year sunset reviews and this notice are in accordance 
with sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act and published pursuant to 
section 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
