Analysis of Comments Received

is provided in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, including the 
likelihood of the continuation or recurrence of dumping and the

Final Results of the Sunset Reviews

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, 
Commerce determines that revocation of the Orders would likely lead to 
the continuation or recurrence of dumping and that the magnitude of the 
dumping margins likely to prevail would be up to 57.87 percent for 
Japan, 58.79 percent for Korea, and 21.10 percent for Taiwan.
