The Department of Commerce (the Department) and the International Trade Commission (the ITC) have determined that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on carbazole violet pigment (CVP-23) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) and India 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 CVP-23 from India 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.

Carbazole Violet Pigment From India and the People's Republic of 
China: Continuation of the Antidumping Duty Orders 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) orders on carbazole violet 
pigment (CVP-23) from the People's Republic of China (PRC) and India 
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 CVP-23 from India 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 17, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 1, 2015, the Department initiated \1\ and the ITC 
instituted \2\ five-year (sunset reviews) of the AD and CVD orders on 
CVP-23 from India and the PRC,\3\ pursuant to section 751(c) of

[[Page 71774]]

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its 
reviews, the Department determined that revocation of the AD orders 
from the PRC and India would likely lead to continuation or recurrence 
of dumping and that revocation of the CVD order from India 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 6, 2015, the ITC published its determination that 
revocation of the AD order on CVP-23 from India and 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 Order

    The merchandise subject to this countervailing duty order is CVP-23 
identified as Color Index No. 51319 and Chemical Abstract No. 6358-30-
1, with the chemical name of diindolo [3,2-b:3',2'-m] \6\ 
triphenodioxazine, 8,18-dichloro-5, 15-diethy-5, 15-dihydro-, and 
molecular formula of 
C34H22Cl2N4O2. 
The subject merchandise includes the crude pigment in any form (e.g., 
dry powder, paste, wet cake) and finished pigment in the form of 
presscake and dry color. Pigment dispersions in any form (e.g., 
pigments dispersed in oleoresins, flammable solvents, water) are not 
included within the scope of the investigation. The merchandise subject 
to this countervailing duty order is classifiable under subheading 
3204.17.9040 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience 
and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of this 
order is dispositive.

    \6\ The bracketed section of the product description, [3,2-
b:3',2'-m], is not business proprietary information. In this case, 
the brackets are simply part of the chemical nomenclature. See 
December 4, 2003, amendment to petition at 8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    During this sunset review period, there was one scope ruling 
completed between October 1, 2011, and December 31, 2011.\7\ The scope 
ruling was requested by Petitioners. On October 14, 2011, we determined 
that finished carbazole violet pigment exported from Japan, made from 
crude carbazole violet pigment from India, is within the scope of the 
CVD Order.

    \7\ See Notice of Scope Rulings, 77 FR 38767 (June 29, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Continuation of the Orders

    As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC 
that revocation of the AD orders 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 
75l(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), the Department hereby 
orders the continuation of the AD orders on CVP-23 from India and the 
PRC, and the CVD order on CVP-23 from India. 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 order and CVD 
order 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 section 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).
