a notice of intent to participate in this review from ArcelorMittal USA 
LLC, and on May 15, 2017, the Department received a notice of intent to

claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as

    On May 31, 2017, we received complete substantive responses for 
this review from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day

chromium oxides are known as tin-free steel or electrolytic chromium-
coated steel. The merchandise covered by the order is currently 
classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

Final Results of Sunset Review

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we 
determine that revocation of the antidumping duty order on tin mill 
products from Japan 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 dumping margins up to 95.29 
percent.
