Sunset Review is an Opportunity for Revocation of Order
The ITA has previously stated that the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) requires that AD duty orders be revoked after five years unless it is found that revocation would be likely to lead to both (1) a continuation or recurrence of dumping and (2) material injury to a U.S. industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. As a result, a negative determination either by the ITA with respect to (1) or by the ITC with respect to (2) results in a revocation of the AD duty order(s).
ITA Five-Year Sunset Review. The ITA states that domestic interested parties (as defined in 19 CFR 351.102(b)) wishing to participate in this Sunset Review must respond by filing a notice of intent to participate not later than 15 days after May 1, 2006. If it does not receive a notice of intent to participate from at least one domestic interested party by this deadline, the ITA will automatically revoke the respective AD duty order without further review. However, if it does receive a notice of intent to participate from a domestic interested party, then all parties wishing to participate in the Sunset Review must file complete substantive responses not later than 30 days after May 1, 2006.
ITC Five-Year Sunset Review.The ITC states that interested parties are requested to respond to its notice by submitting certain information specified in the ITC's notice by June 20, 2006. The ITC states that it will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to the notice of institution to determine whether to conduct a full or expedited review. The ITC adds that comments on the adequacy of responses may be filed by July 14, 2006.
