SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 1, 2017, Commerce published the notice of initiation of 
the third sunset review of the antidumping duty order on honey from the 
China, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act).\1\ On November 13, 2017, Commerce received a notice of 
intent to participate from American Honey Producers Association and the 
Sioux Honey Association (collectively, the petitioners) as domestic 
interested parties, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(i).\2\ The petitioners claimed interested party status 
under section 771(9)(E) of the Act, as a trade association whose 
members are engaged in the business of producing honey in the United 
States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 82 FR 50612 
(November 1, 2017).
    \2\ See the petitioners' Letter, ``Honey from the People's 
Republic of China: Petitioners' Notice of Intent to Participate,'' 
dated November 13, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 1, 2017, we received a complete substantive response 
for the review from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day 
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\3\ We received no 
substantive responses from respondent interested parties with respect 
to the order covered by this sunset review, nor was a hearing 
requested. Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce is conducting an expedited (120-day) 
sunset review of this order.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce has exercised its discretion to toll deadlines for the 
duration of the closure of the Federal Government from January 20 
through 22, 2018. If the new deadline falls on a non-business day, in 
accordance with Commerce's practice, the deadline will become the next 
business day. The revised deadline for the final results of this sunset 
review is now March 5, 2018.\4\

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in this review, including the likelihood of 
continuation or recurrence of dumping in the event of revocation and 
the magnitude of the margin likely to prevail if the order was revoked, 
are addressed in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. The 
Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file 
electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 
ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov, and

Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet 
at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Issues and Decision 
Memorandum and the electronic version of the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum are identical in content.

Final Result 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 honey from 
China would likely 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 the following weighted-average 
dumping margin: 183.80.
