Duty Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of 
Commerce (Commerce) and the International Trade Commission (ITC) that 
revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain tin mill 
products (tin mill products) from Japan would likely lead to a 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an 
industry in the United States, Commerce is publishing a notice of 
continuation of the AD order.

DATES: Applicable July 11, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Yasmin Bordas, AD/CVD Operations,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On August 28, 2000, Commerce published in the Federal Register the

[[Page 32075]]

AD order on tin mill products from Japan.\1\ On May 1, 2017, Commerce 
published the notice of initiation of the third sunset review of the AD 
order on tin mill products from Japan, pursuant to section 751(c) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ Commerce conducted 
this sunset review on an expedited basis, pursuant to section 
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 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 the review, Commerce determined, 
pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c) of the Act, that revocation 
of the AD order would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of 
dumping.\3\ Commerce, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of 
the dumping margins likely to prevail should the AD order be revoked. 
On June 25, 2018, the ITC published notice of its determination, 
pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that revocation of 
the AD order on tin mill products from Japan would likely lead to a 
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.\4\
