# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On October 1, 2021, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the fifth sunset review of the AD orders on certain iron construction castings from Brazil, Canada, and the People's Republic of China (China) [1]                                          pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).[2] 

On December 16, 2021, D&L Foundry, Inc.; EJ USA, Inc.; Neenah Foundry Company; and U.S. Foundry & Manufacturing Corporation (collectively, “domestic interested parties”) notified Commerce of their intent to participate within the 15-day period specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1). The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as producers of a domestic like product in the United States.

                    On December 20, 2021, Commerce received complete substantive responses to the                     *Notice of Initiation*                     with respect to the                     *Orders,*                     from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day period specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).[3]                                          Commerce received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(8) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(l)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce has conducted expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of the AD orders on certain iron construction castings from Brazil, Canada, and China.                

## Scope of the Orders

                    The scope of the                     *Orders*                     is certain iron construction castings from Brazil, Canada, and China. For a complete description of the scope of the                     *Orders, see*                     the appendix to this notice.                

## Analysis of Comments Received

                    A complete discussion of all issues raised in these sunset reviews is provided in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.[4]                                          The issues discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum include the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail if the                     *Orders*                     were revoked. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at                     *http://access.trade.gov.*                     In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed at                     *https://access.trade.gov/​public/​FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.*

## Final Results of the Sunset Reviews

                    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the AD orders on certain iron construction castings from Brazil, Canada, and China                           ( print page 14822)                        would likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping, and that the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail would be weighted-average margins up to 58.74 percent for Brazil, up to 25.52 percent for China, and above                     *de minimis*                     for Canada.
