# SUMMARY:

                        As a result of the determinations by the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) that revocation of the antidumping duty (“AD”) orders on certain iron construction castings (“castings”) from Brazil, Canada, and the People's Republic of China (“PRC”) would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, that revocation of the countervailing duty (“CVD”) order on castings from Brazil would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy, and the                               ( print page 70901)                            determinations by the International Trade Commission (“ITC”) that revocation of these AD and CVD orders would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department is publishing this notice of continuation of these AD and CVD orders.

## Background

                    On May 3, 2010, the Department initiated and the ITC instituted the third sunset reviews of the AD orders on castings from Brazil, Canada, and the PRC and the CVD order on castings from Brazil, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Act”), respectively.                     *See Initiation of Five-Year (“Sunset”) Review,*75 FR 23240 (May 3, 2010). As a result of its reviews, the Department found that revocation of the AD orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and that revocation of the CVD order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of subsidization, and the Department notified the ITC of the margins of dumping and the subsidy rates likely to prevail were the orders to be revoked.                     *See Certain Iron Construction Castings From Brazil, Canada, and the People's Republic of China: Final Results of the Expedited Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders,*75 FR 54595 (September 8, 2010), and                     *Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review: Heavy Iron Construction Castings from Brazil,*75 FR 54596 (September 8, 2010).                

                    On November 2, 2010, the ITC determined that revocation of the AD orders on castings from Brazil, Canada, and the PRC and the CVD order on castings from Brazil would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.                     *See Iron Construction Castings From Brazil, Canada, and China; Determinations,*75 FR 67395 (November 2, 2010), and USITC Publication 4191 (October 2010) entitled                     *Iron Construction Castings From Brazil, Canada, and China*                     (Investigation Nos. 701-TA-249 and 731-TA-262, 263, and 265 (Third Review)).
