Commission (ITC) that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) order on

continuation of the AD order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On May 15, 2017, Commerce published the AD order on ferrovanadium 
from Korea.\1\ On April 1, 2022, Commerce initiated,\2\ and the ITC 
instituted,\3\ this sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Ferrovanadium from the Republic of Korea: Antidumping 
Duty Order, 82 FR 22309 (May 15, 2017) (Order).
    \2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 87 FR 19069 
(April 1, 2022).
    \3\ See Ferrovanadium from South Korea; Institution of a Five-
Year Review, 87 FR 19129 (April 1, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of its review, Commerce determined, pursuant to 
sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c) of the Act, that revocation of the Order 
would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. Commerce, 
therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping 
likely to prevail should the Order be revoked.\4\ On November 21, 2022, 
the ITC published its determination that revocation of the Order would 
likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an 
industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time, 
pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act.\5\
