The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that in automatic five-year sunset reviews scheduled to begin in October it will consider revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on sodium gluconate, gluconic acid and derivative products from China (A-570-071/C-570-072) and the AD order on xanthan gum from China (A-570-985).

The Commerce Department looks set to recognize the name change of a South Korean company for the purposes of antidumping duties on certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate products (A-580-836) from South Korea. The agency preliminarily found that the post-corporate reorganization Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. (Dongkuk Steel) is the successor-in-interest to the pre-reorganization Dongkuk Steel, in the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review. The agency preliminarily found Dongkuk Steel continues to operate as the same business entity, including that there was no name change. The new Dongkuk Steel explained that the spin-off of two business units in the reorganization and other moves did not affect the management or internal organization structure, production, supplier relationships or customer base of the CTL plate business. If Commerce confirms its finding in the final results, post-reorganization Dongkuk Steel may inherit the AD rates assigned to pre-reorganization Dongkuk Steel in the AD review.

The agency preliminarily found Highland Agro undertook a name change to HA Food and changed its corporate structure to become a limited liability partnership but otherwise continues to operate as the same business entity. If Commerce confirms its finding in the final results, HA Food will inherit the AD rate assigned to Highland Agro.
