Results of Expedited First Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: As a result of this sunset review, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty order on 
aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China (PRC) would be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels 
indicated in the ``Final Results of Sunset Review'' section of this 
notice.

DATES: Effective August 5, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Deborah Scott or Robert James, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office VI, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-2657 or (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On May 26, 2011, the Department published the notice of the 
antidumping duty order on aluminum extrusions from the PRC.\1\ On April 
1, 2016, the Department published the notice of initiation of the first 
sunset review of

[[Page 51856]]

the AD Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act).\2\ On April 18, 2016, the Department received a 
notice of intent to participate in this review from the Aluminum 
Extrusions Fair Trade Committee (Petitioner or Committee) within the 
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ Petitioner claimed 
interested party status under section 771(9)(E) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.102(b)(29)(vii) as a coalition of U.S. producers of the domestic 
like product, and the individual Committee members claimed interested 
party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.102(b)(29)(v) as U.S. producers of the domestic like product. On 
May 2, 2016, the Department received a complete substantive response 
from Petitioner within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(3)(i).\4\ We received no substantive responses from 
respondent interested parties with respect to the AD Order. As a 
result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department conducted an expedited (120-
day) sunset review of the AD Order.

Analysis of Comments Received

    A complete discussion of all issues raised in this review, 
including the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping in 
the event of revocation and the magnitude of the margins likely to 
prevail if the order were revoked, is provided in the accompanying 
Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. 
The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file 
electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 
ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov and

Memorandum are identical in content.

Final Results of Sunset Review

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, 
the Department determines that revocation of the AD Order would be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and that the 
magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail would be weighted-
average margins up to 33.28 percent.
