ITA/ITC to Consider Revoking Silicon Metal, SS Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings AD Orders
The International Trade Administration is giving advance notice that it and the International Trade Commission will consider revoking the antidumping duty orders on silicon metal from China (A-570-806) and stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy (A-475-828), Malaysia (A-557-809), and the Philippines (A-565-801) in their automatic five year sunset reviews of these orders, which are scheduled to be initiated in November 2011.

Advance notice is given as sunset reviews have short deadlines, with some as short as 10 days after the date of initiation. An order will be revoked unless the ITA finds that revocation would lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and the ITC finds that revocation would result in material injury to a U.S. industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. As a result, a negative determination by either the ITA or ITC would result in the revocation of the order.
