Background

    Every five years, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of

review to determine whether revocation of a countervailing or 
antidumping duty order or termination of an investigation suspended 
under section 704 or 734 would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of dumping or a countervailable subsidy (as the case may be) 
and of material injury.
