SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 3, 2017, Commerce initiated, and the 
ITC instituted, the fourth sunset review of the antidumping duty order 
on TRBs 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, Commerce 
determined that revocation of the antidumping duty order on TRBs from 
China would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and, 
therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to 
prevail should the order be revoked.\2\ On September 28, 2018, the ITC 
published its determination, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, 
that revocation of the antidumping duty order on TRBs 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.\3\
