SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On December 10, 2001, Commerce published in the Federal Register 
notice of the antidumping duty order on honey from China.\1\ On 
November 1, 2017, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the 
third five-year (sunset) review of the antidumping duty order on honey 
from China, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Notice of Amended Final Determination at Less Than Fair 
Value and Antidumping Duty Order; Honey from the People's Republic 
of China, 66 FR 63670 (December 10, 2001).
    \2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 82 FR 50612 
(November 1, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected by 
the closure of the Federal Government from January 20 through 22, 2018. 
As a result, the revised deadline for the final results of this sunset 
review was March 5, 2018.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Memorandum for The Record from Christian Marsh, Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, performing the 
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of 
the Federal Government,'' dated January 23, 2018. All deadlines in 
this segment of the proceeding have been extended by 3 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce conducted this sunset review on an expedited basis, 
pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19

[[Page 18278]]

CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), because it received a complete, timely, 
and adequate response from a domestic interested party but no 
substantive responses from respondent interested parties. As a result 
of its review, Commerce determined that revocation of the antidumping 
duty order would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of 
dumping.\4\ Commerce, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of 
the margins likely to prevail should the antidumping duty order be 
revoked. On April 19, 2018, the ITC published notice of its 
determination, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation 
of the antidumping duty order on honey from China would likely lead to 
a continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the Expedited Third Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order,

Continuation of the Order

    As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that 
revocation of the antidumping duty 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), Commerce hereby orders the continuation of the 
antidumping duty order on honey from China. U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection will continue to collect antidumping duty 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, Commerce 
intends to initiate the next sunset review of the order not later than 
30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of 
continuation.
    This 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).
