of China: Final Results of the Expedited Sunset Reviews of the

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

SUMMARY: On November 2, 2009, the Department initiated sunset reviews 
of the antidumping duty orders on carbazole violet pigment 23 (CVP 23) 
from India and the People's Republic of China (PRC) 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) 
(Notice of Initiation). The Department has conducted expedited (120-
day) sunset reviews of these orders pursuant to 19 CFR

Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty orders would 
be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping as indicated 
in the ``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.
