SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On May 1, 2017, the Department published the notice of initiation 
of the third sunset review of the antidumping duty order on tin mill 
products from Japan, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act).\1\ On May 11, 2017, the Department received 
a notice of intent to participate in this review from ArcelorMittal USA 
LLC, and on May 15, 2017, the Department received a notice of intent to 
participate in this review from United States Steel Corporation 
(collectively, domestic interested parties), within the deadline 
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). These domestic interested parties 
claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as 
manufacturers of a domestic like product in the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 82 FR 
20314 (May 1, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On May 31, 2017, we received complete substantive responses for 
this review from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day 
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no 
substantive responses from respondent interested parties, nor was a 
hearing requested. 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 is conducting an 
expedited (120-day) sunset review of the order.

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the antidumping duty order are tin mill 
flat-rolled products that are coated or plated with tin, chromium or 
chromium oxides. Flat-rolled steel products coated with tin are known 
as tin plate. Flat-rolled steel products coated with chromium or 
chromium oxides are known as tin-free steel or electrolytic chromium-
coated steel. The merchandise covered by the order is currently 
classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS), under HTSUS subheadings 7210.11.0000, 7210.12.0000, 
7210.50.0000, 7212.10.0000, and 7212.50.0000 if of non-alloy steel and 
under HTSUS subheadings 7225.99.0090, and 7226.99.0180 if of alloy 
steel. The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes. The written description of the scope of the order remains 
dispositive.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A full description of the scope of the order is contained in 
the memorandum to Gary Taverman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, performing the non-
exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, from James Maeder, Senior Director

Final Results of Sunset Review

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we 
determine that revocation of the antidumping duty order on tin mill 
products from Japan would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of dumping, and that the magnitude of the dumping margins 
likely to prevail would be weighted-average dumping margins up to 95.29 
percent.
