Japan: Final Results of Expedited Second Sunset Review of Antidumping 
Duty Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: As a result of this expedited sunset review, the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the 
antidumping duty (AD) order on diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated flat-
rolled steel products (nickel-plated steel products) from Japan would 
be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping at the 
dumping margins identified in the ``Final Results of Review'' section 
of this notice.

DATES: Applicable January 7, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 3, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation 
of the second sunset reviews of the Order,\1\ pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On September 
18, 2024, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate from 
Thomas Steel Strip Corporation (Thomas Steel), a domestic interested 
party, within the 15-day period specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ Thomas Steel claimed interested party status under 
section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a producer of the domestic like 
product in the United States.

and the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the Order was to 
be revoked, is provided in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list

included as an appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision 
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via

Final Results of Sunset Review

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1), and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, 
Commerce determines that revocation of the Order would be likely to

77.70 percent.\7\
