SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 2, 2009, the Department initiated and the ITC 
instituted sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on CVP-23 from 
India and the PRC \1\ pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act). See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') 
Review, 74 FR 56593 (November 2, 2009); See also Carbazole Violet 
Pigment 23 From China and India, 74 FR 56663 (November 2, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On December 29, 2004, the Department published the following 
antidumping duty orders: Antidumping Duty Order: Carbazole Violet 
Pigment 23 From the People's Republic of China, 69 FR 77987 
(December 29, 2004); Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales 
at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Carbazole Violet 
Pigment 23 From India, 69 FR 77988 (December 29, 2004).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of these sunset reviews, the Department determined that 
revocation of the antidumping duty orders would likely lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and, therefore, notified the ITC 
of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail should the orders be 
revoked. See Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from India and the People's

determined that revocation of the antidumping duty order on CVP-23 from

material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably 
foreseeable time. See Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from China and India: 
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-437 and 731-TA-1060 and 1061, USITC
