SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 2, 2016, the Department published the notice of the 
initiation of the fourth five-year (``sunset'') review of the 
Antidumping Order (``AD Order'') on POS Cooking Ware from the PRC, 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act'').\1\ As a result of its review, the Department determined that 
revocation of the AD Order would likely lead to a continuation or 
recurrence of dumping.\2\

    \1\ See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 80 FR 45945 
(August 3, 2015).

Republic of China: Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review of the 
Antidumping Duty Order, 81 FR 36870 (June 8, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 
margins likely to prevail should the AD Order be revoked.
    On July 28, 2016, the ITC published notice of its determination, 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the AD Order 
on POS Cooking Ware 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.\3\

Determination, 81 FR 49688 (July 28, 2016).

    The merchandise covered by the AD Order is porcelain-on-steel 
cooking ware, including tea kettles, which do not have self-contained 
electric heating elements. All of the foregoing are constructed of 
steel and are enameled or glazed with vitreous glasses. The merchandise 
is currently classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States, (``HTSUS'') subheading 7323.94.00.\4\ Although the HTSUS 
subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the 
written description of the merchandise is dispositive.

Continuation of the Order

    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, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), 
the Department hereby orders the continuation of the AD Order on POS 
Cooking Ware from the PRC. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will 
continue to collect AD 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 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, the Department 
intends to initiate the next five-year review of the Order not later 
than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of 
continuation.
    This five-year sunset review and this notice are in accordance with 
section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section 777(i)(1) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
