The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that it and the International Trade Commission will consider revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on new pneumatic off-the-road tires from China (A-570-912 / C-570-913), and raw flexible magnets form China and Taiwan (A-570-922 / C-570-923, A-583-842), in their automatic five-year sunset reviews scheduled to begin in August. Advance notice is given because automatic sunset reviews have short deadlines. An order will be revoked unless Commerce finds that revocation would lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and the ITC finds that revocation would result in continuation or recurrence of material injury to a U.S. industry. As a result, a negative determination by either Commerce or the ITC would result in the revocation of these orders.

The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission initiated the five-year Sunset Review of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on laminated woven sacks from China (A-570-916 / C-570-917); non-malleable cast-iron pipe fittings from China (A-570-875); sodium nitrite from China and Germany (A-570-925 / C-570-926, A-428-841); and steel nails from China (A-570-909).
