SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On August 26, 1986, the Department published the AD Order on 
candles from the PRC.\1\ On December 1, 2015, the Department published 
the notice of initiation of the fourth five-year (``sunset'') review of 
the AD order on candles from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act'').\2\ As a result of its 
review, the Department determined that revocation of the AD order on 
candles from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence 
of dumping. Therefore, the Department notified the ITC of the magnitude 
of the margins likely to prevail should the AD order be revoked.\3\ On 
May 18, 2016, the ITC published its determination, pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the AD order on candles from the 
PRC would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of material 
injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably 
foreseeable time.\4\
