DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

International Trade Administration


Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation; Advance Notification of Sunset Reviews

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

Background

    Every five years, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') and the International Trade Commission automatically 
initiate and conduct a review to determine whether revocation of a 
countervailing or antidumping duty order or termination of an 
investigation suspended under section 704 or 734 of the Act would be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or a 
countervailable subsidy (as the case may be) and of material injury.

Upcoming Sunset Reviews for December 2010

    The following Sunset Reviews are scheduled for initiation in 
December 2010 and will appear in that month's Notice of Initiation of 
Five-Year Sunset Reviews.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Department was scheduled to initiate the sunset review 
of the antidumping order on raw pistachios from Iran (A-507-502) in 
December 2010. However, the recently enacted Comprehensive Iran 
Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 includes a ban 
on all U.S. imports from Iran, including pistachios, effective 
September 29, 2010. See Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, 
Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010, 111 Public Law 195, 
Sec.  103(b); see also Iranian Transactions Regulations, 75 FR 59611 
(September 28, 2010). While this import ban remains in effect, 19 
U.S.C. 1675(c)(7) provides that the five-year period from the date 
of the Department's prior determination to continue the order in 
effect is tolled. Accordingly, the Department may not initiate a 
sunset review of the antidumping order on raw pistachios from Iran 
until two months after the import ban on pistachios is lifted.

provides further information regarding what is required of all parties
