ITA Omitted Mention of China Poly Staple Fiber AD Sunset Review, Unsure of Effect on Deadlines
The International Trade Administration published a notice on May 1 initiating a sunset review that inadvertently listed the order under review as the antidumping order on activated carbon from China and the effective date as March 1. The correct order under review is instead the AD order on polyester staple fiber from China (A-570-905), as is stated in the ITA's April 2 advance notification of sunset reviews. Officials at the ITA said the ITA will issue a correction as soon as possible, and that it's still determining what effect the late publication of the corrected notice will have on deadlines. ITT will provide notice of the deadlines as soon as information is made available by the ITA.

(Sunset review initiation notices are published at the beginning of each month, simultaneously by the ITA and the International Trade Commission. A notice initiating a five-year sunset review of the antidumping duty order on certain polyester staple fiber from China (A-570-905 / 731-TA-1104) was also published by the ITC on May 1. It seems that the ITA inadvertently resubmitted portions of the previous March 1 notice to the Federal Register for publication (the ITA's March 1 initiation notice listed as the order under review the AD order on activated carbon from China, and was effective March 1).)
