Through four successive remand determinations on the second sunset review of antidumping duty orders on ball bearings from France, Germany, Italy and Japan, the International Trade Commission maintained that imports of ball bearings would injure domestic injury in the absence of the AD order. But after the Court of International Trade directed the ITC to “point to particular data in the record and rationally connect it to the underlying determinations,” the agency reversed its position, concluding that imports “are not likely to have a significant impact on the industry upon revocation” of the order. The CIT upheld this revised determination and declined to adjudicate other issues, noting that the government plans to appeal the new ruling upholding revocation. (See ITT’s Online Archives or 01/03/11 news, 11010316, for BP summary of the court’s preceding remand instructions to the ITC.) (Slip Op. 11-43, dated 04/20/11)
