Analysis of Comments Received
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 of dumping likely to prevail if the Order
were revoked, are addressed in the accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document 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, we
determine that revocation of the antidumping duty Order on hangers from
China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping,
and that the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail would be
weighted- average dumping margins up to 187.25 percent.
