SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On March 2, 2015, the Department initiated \1\ and the ITC 
instituted \2\ five-year (``sunset'') reviews of the antidumping duty 
finding on PSP tape from Italy, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its review, 
the Department determined that revocation of the antidumping duty 
finding on PSP tape from Italy would likely lead to a continuation or 
recurrence of dumping and notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 
margins of dumping likely to prevail were the finding revoked.\3\
