On November 1, 2005, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty order on certain corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and South Korea. On the basis of the notices of intent to participate and adequate substantive responses filed on behalf of domestic interested parties and inadequate responses from respondent interested parties, the DOC determined to conduct expedited sunset reviews of these orders. As a result of these sunset reviews, the DOC found that revocation of these AD orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the margins indicated below:
