Determination

As a result of the determinations by

the Department and the Commission

that revocation of these antidumping

duty and countervailing duty orders

would likely lead to continuation or

recurrence of dumping and a

countervailable subsidy and material

injury to an industry in the United

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of

the Act, the Department hereby orders

the continuation of the antidumping

duty order and countervailing duty

order on new steel rail from Canada.

The Department will instruct the U.S.

Customs Service to continue to collect

deposits at the rate in effect at the time

of entry for all imports of subject

merchandise.

Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A) of the

Act, the Department intends to initiate

the next five-year review of these orders

not later than January 2005.

Dated: February 3, 2000.
