The public record for this proceeding may be viewed on the Commission’s electronic docket (EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background.—On August 4, 2023, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution (88 FR 26592, May 1, 2023) of the subject five-year reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party group response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews. 1 Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)). For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews and rules of general application, consult the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR part 207). Staff report.—A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter of the reviews has been placed in the nonpublic record, and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective Order service list for these reviews on September 19, 2023. A public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to § 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission’s rules. Written submissions.—As provided in § 207.62(d) of the Commission’s rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews and that have provided individually adequate responses to the notice of institution, 2 and any party other than an interested party to the reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what determination the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are due on or before September 27, 2023, and may not contain new factual information. Any person that is neither a party to the five- year reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief written statement (which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the reviews by September 27, 2023. If comments contain business proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with the requirements of §§ 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s rules. The Commission’s Handbook on Filing Procedures, available on the Commission’s website at https:// www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_ on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates upon the Commission’s procedures with respect to filings. In accordance with §§ 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all other parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate of service. Determination.—The Commission has determined these reviews are extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B). Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of title VII of the Act; this notice is published pursuant to § 207.62 of the Commission’s rules. By order of the Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : On October 18, 2022, the Commission instituted this investigation based on a complaint, as amended, filed on behalf of OPEX Corporation of Moorestown, New Jersey (‘‘OPEX’’). 87 FR 63089 (Oct. 18, 2022). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain automated put walls and automated storage and retrieval systems, associated vehicles, associated control software, and components parts thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 11,192,144 and 11,358,175. Id. The Commission’s notice of investigation names as respondents HC Robotics (a.k.a. Huicang Information Technology Co., Ltd.) of Hangzhou City, China; and Invata, LLC (d/b/a Invata Intralogistics) of Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not participating in this investigation. Id. On March 20, 2023, OPEX filed an unopposed motion to terminate the investigation based on its withdrawal of the complaint. On March 27, 2023, the CALJ denied the motion based on excessive redaction in the motion’s attached agreement. See Order No. 6 (Mar. 27, 2023). On March 28, 2023, OPEX filed a renewed unopposed motion to terminate the investigation based on a withdrawal of the complaint and containing fewer redactions. On March 29, 2023, the CALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 7) pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1) (19 CFR 210.21(a)(1)), granting the motion and terminating the investigation. The ID finds that the motion complies with Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1) and that there are no extraordinary circumstances that would prevent the requested relief. No party petitioned for review of the subject ID. The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. This investigation is hereby terminated in its entirety. The Commission vote for this determination took place on April 26, 2023. The authority for the Commission’s determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in part 210 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 210).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background.—On June 5, 2018, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:10 Apr 28, 2023 Jkt 259001 PO 00000 Frm 00077 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\01MYN1.SGM 01MYN1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 26593Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 83 / Monday, May 1, 2023 / Notices issued a countervailing duty order on imports of stainless steel flanges from China (83 FR 26006). On August 1, 2018, Commerce issued an antidumping duty order on imports of stainless steel flanges from China (83 FR 37468). On October 5, 2018, Commerce issued a countervailing duty order on imports of stainless steel flanges from India (83 FR 50336). On October 9, 2018, Commerce issued an antidumping duty order on imports of stainless steel flanges from India (83 FR 50639). The Commission is conducting reviews pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. Provisions concerning the conduct of this proceeding may be found in the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure at 19 CFR part 201, subparts A and B, and 19 CFR part 207, subparts A and F. The Commission will assess the adequacy of interested party responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct full or expedited reviews. The Commission’s determinations in any expedited reviews will be based on the facts available, which may include information provided in response to this notice. Definitions.—The following definitions apply to these reviews: (1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is within the scope of the five-year reviews, as defined by Commerce. (2) The Subject Countries in these reviews are China and India. (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original determinations, the Commission defined a single Domestic Like Product consisting of finished and unfinished stainless steel flanges, coextensive with Commerce’s scope. (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of the product. In its original determinations, the Commission defined the Domestic Industry to be all U.S. producers of stainless steel flanges, including both integrated domestic producers and non- integrated domestic producers that engage in only finishing operations. (5) The Order Dates are the dates that the orders became effective. In these reviews, the Order Dates are as follows: June 5, 2018 (countervailing duty order concerning China); August 1, 2018 (antidumping duty order concerning China); October 5, 2018 (countervailing duty order concerning India); and October 9, 2018 (antidumping duty order concerning India). (6) An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or through its selling agent. Participation in the proceeding and public service list.—Persons, including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer organizations, wishing to participate in the proceeding as parties must file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as provided in § 201.11(b)(4) of the Commission’s rules, no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the proceeding. Former Commission employees who are seeking to appear in Commission five-year reviews are advised that they may appear in a review even if they participated personally and substantially in the corresponding underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same underlying investigation. The Commission’s designated agency ethics official has advised that a five-year review is not the same particular matter as the underlying original investigation, and a five-year review is not the same particular matter as an earlier review of the same underlying investigation for purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, the post-employment statute for Federal employees, and Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR 201.15(b)), 79 FR 3246 (Jan. 17, 2014), 73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008). Consequently, former employees are not required to seek Commission approval to appear in a review under Commission rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the corresponding underlying original investigation or an earlier review of the same underlying investigation was pending when they were Commission employees. For further ethics advice on this matter, contact Charles Smith, Office of the General Counsel, at 202– 205–3408. Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under an administrative protective order (APO) and APO service list.—Pursuant to § 207.7(a) of the Commission’s rules, the Secretary will make BPI submitted in this proceeding available to authorized applicants under the APO issued in the proceeding, provided that the application is made no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Authorized applicants must represent interested parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to the proceeding. A separate service list will be maintained by the Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO. Certification.—Pursuant to § 207.3 of the Commission’s rules, any person submitting information to the Commission in connection with this proceeding must certify that the information is accurate and complete to the best of the submitter’s knowledge. In making the certification, the submitter will acknowledge that information submitted in response to this request for information and throughout this proceeding or other proceeding may be disclosed to and used: (i) by the Commission, its employees and Offices, and contract personnel (a) for developing or maintaining the records of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in internal investigations, audits, reviews, and evaluations relating to the programs, personnel, and operations of the Commission including under 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. government employees and contract personnel, solely for cybersecurity purposes. All contract personnel will sign appropriate nondisclosure agreements.

SUMMARY : The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on stainless steel flanges (steel flanges) from India would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final Results of Sunset Review’’ section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On October 5, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register the order on steel flanges from India.1 On May 1, 2023, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset review of the Order, in accordance with section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 2 In May 2023, Commerce received timely notices of intent to participate from Core Pipe Products, Inc. (Core Pipe) and Kerkau Manufacturing (Kerkau) (collectively, the domestic interested parties). 3 The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as domestic producers engaged in the production of steel flanges in the United States. On May 31, 2023, Commerce received timely and adequate substantive responses from the domestic interested parties. 4 We received no substantive responses from any other interested parties, including the Government of India, nor was a hearing requested. On June 20, 2023, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties. 5 As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the Order. Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by the Order is stainless steel flanges. For a complete description of the scope, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 6 Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in this sunset review are addressed in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. The issues discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum are the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies, the net countervailable subsidy rates that are likely to prevail, and the nature of the subsidies.

In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/ public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. Final Results of Sunset Review Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(b) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the Order would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies at the rates listed below: Producer/exporter Subsidy rate (percent ad valorem) Bebitz Flanges Works Pri- vate Limited ....................... 256.45 Echjay Forgings Private Lim- ited .................................... 5.21 All Others .............................. 5.21 Administrative Protective Order (APO) This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.

Type of Request: Regular. Number of Respondents: 200. Average Hours per Response: 8 hrs. Burden Hours: 1,600 hrs. Needs and Uses: The purpose of the Environmental Questionnaire is to ensure that the Department of Commerce is aware, in broad terms, of relevant environmental considerations, and can work with the potential applicant to ensure that the applicant can provide all required environmental information during the full application and due diligence stages when applying for funding. Each applicant must provide the requested information on the Environmental Questionnaire using the template which is available on the VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:04 Aug 30, 2023 Jkt 259001 PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\31AUN1.SGM 31AUN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === Final Results - CVD - China === 60640 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 5, 2023 / Notices 7 See Assessment Practice Refinement, 76 FR at 65694 for a full discussion of this practice. 8 Id. Disclosure There are no calculations to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final results. Assessment Rate Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where the respondent reported the entered value of its U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific antidumping duty assessment rates by aggregating the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales of each importer and dividing each of these amounts by the total entered value associated with those sales. Where the respondent did not report entered value, we calculated the entered value in order to calculate the assessment rate. Where either the respondent’s weighted- average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. For the company identified as part of the China-wide entity (Zhejiang Quhua), we will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 167.02 percent to all POR entries of subject merchandise which was exported by this company. Pursuant to a refinement in our non-market economy practice, for sales that were not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted by Zhejiang Sanmei Chemical Ind. Co., Ltd. during this review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries associated with those sales at the rate for the China-wide entity. 7 Furthermore, where we found that an exporter under review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter’s case number (i.e., at that exporter’s cash deposit rate) will be liquidated at the rate for the China- wide entity. 8 Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication). Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for the companies identified above in the ‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section will be equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for previously examined China and non- China exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) for all China exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 167.02 percent); and (4) for all non-China exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the China exporter that supplied that non-China exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5) and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

SUMMARY : On August 22, 2023, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) issued its final judgment in Far East American, Inc., et al., v. United States, Consol. Court no. 22–00049 (Far Eastern), sustaining the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)’s first remand results of redetermination pertaining to the final scope ruling for the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain hardwood plywood products (hardwood plywood) from the People’s Republic of China (China). In the underlying ruling, Commerce determined that hardwood plywood exported into the United States by Vietnam Finewood Company Limited (Finewood) that was produced using two-ply panels imported into Vietnam from China was included in the scope of the orders. Commerce is notifying the public that the CIT’s final judgment is not in harmony with Commerce’s final scope ruling on Finewood’s two-ply panels from China and is amending its final scope ruling.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background In response to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) covered merchandise referral, 1 on January 21, 2022, Commerce issued its Final Scope Ruling addressing Finewood’s two-ply panels imported from China and whether they are covered by the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on hardwood plywood from China. 2 Commerce found that the plain language of the scope of the Orders was ambiguous with respect to the definition of ‘‘certain veneered panels,’’ and, thus, Commerce turned to the sources in 19 CFR 351.225(k)(1) and found those sources indicated that hardwood plywood exported to the United States by Finewood that was produced using two-ply panels imported into Vietnam from China were covered by the scope of the Orders.3 Finewood, Far East American, Inc., Liberty Woods International, Inc., and Consolidated Plaintiff InterGlobal Forest, LLC, appealed Commerce’s Final Scope Ruling. On April 20, 2023, the CIT remanded the Final Scope Ruling to Commerce, holding that the scope language, when read together with the 19 CFR 351.225(k)(1) sources, unambiguously establishes that the Orders do not include Chinese two-ply VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:02 Sep 01, 2023 Jkt 259001 PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\05SEN1.SGM 05SEN1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── === USITC Determination === 73043Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 24, 2023 / Notices 1 The record is defined in § 207.2(f) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)). 2 Commissioner Randolph J.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Background On August 1, 2018, and October 9, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD orders on stainless steel flanges from China and India, respectively. 1 On June 5 and October 5, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register the CVD orders on steel flanges from China and India, respectively. 2 On May 1, 2023, the ITC instituted, 3 and Commerce initiated, 4 the first sunset reviews of the AD Orders and the CVD Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its review, Commerce determined that revocation of the AD Orders and CVD Orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies, and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping and subsidy rates likely to prevail should the AD Orders 5 and CVD Orders 6 be revoked. On October 24, 2023, the ITC published its determination, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that revocation of the AD Orders and CVD Orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. 7 Scope of the AD Orders and CVD Orders The scope of the AD Orders and CVD Orders covers certain forged stainless steel flanges, whether unfinished, semi- finished, or finished (certain forged stainless steel flanges). Certain forged stainless steel flanges are generally manufactured to, but not limited to, the material specification of ASTM/ASME A/SA182 or comparable domestic or foreign specifications. Certain forged stainless-steel flanges are made in various grades such as, but not limited to, 304, 304L, 316, and 316L (or combinations thereof). The term ‘‘stainless steel’’ used in this scope refers to an alloy steel containing, by actual weight, 1.2 percent or less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more of chromium, with or without other elements. Unfinished stainless steel flanges possess the approximate shape of finished stainless steel flanges and have not yet been machined to final specification after the initial forging or like operations. These machining processes may include, but are not limited to, boring, facing, spot facing, drilling, tapering, threading, beveling, heating, or compressing. Semi-finished stainless-steel flanges are unfinished stainless steel flanges that have undergone some machining processes. The scope includes six general types of flanges. They are: (1) weld neck, generally used in butt-weld line connection; (2) threaded, generally used for threaded line connections; (3) slip- on, generally used to slide over pipe; (4) lap joint, generally used with stub-ends/ butt-weld line connections; (5) socket weld, generally used to fit pipe into a machine recession; and (6) blind, generally used to seal off a line. The sizes and descriptions of the flanges within the scope include all pressure classes of ASME B16.5 and range from one-half inch to twenty-four inches nominal pipe size. Specifically excluded from the scope of the AD Orders and CVD Orders are cast stainless steel flanges. Cast stainless steel flanges generally are manufactured to specification ASTM A351. The country of origin for certain forged stainless steel flanges, whether unfinished, semi-finished, or finished is the country where the flange was forged. Subject merchandise includes stainless steel flanges as defined above that have been further processed in a third country. The processing includes, but is not limited to, boring, facing, spot facing, drilling, tapering, threading, beveling, heating, or compressing, and/ or any other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the AD Orders or CVD Orders if performed in the country of manufacture of the stainless steel flanges. Merchandise subject to the AD Orders or CVD Orders is typically imported under headings 7307.21.1000 and 7307.21.5000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). While HTSUS subheadings and ASTM specifications are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope is dispositive. Continuation of the AD Orders and CVD Orders As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that revocation of the AD Orders and CVD Orders would likely lead to a continuation or a recurrence of dumping, countervailable subsidies, and material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the continuation of the AD Orders and CVD Orders. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD and CVD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise. The effective date of the continuation of the AD Orders and CVD Orders will be October 24, 2023.8 Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year review of the AD Orders and CVD Orders not later than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of the last determination by the ITC. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return, destruction, or conversion to judicial protective order of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).

Active order issued from this investigation
Investigation 701-TA-585 is a U.S. International Trade Commission antidumping (AD) proceeding on Stainless Steel Flanges from China and India; Inv. No. 701-TA-585-586 and 731-TA-1383-1384 (Review) from India, China. The ITC determines whether U.S. industry is materially injured (or threatened) by imports under investigation; Commerce determines whether dumping or subsidization is occurring. Both findings are required for an AD/CVD order to be issued.
701-TA-585 is in the review phase, with status completed. Review phase — typically a sunset review (every 5 years) to determine whether revoking the order would lead to recurrence of dumping/injury. Affirmative findings keep the order in force; negative findings revoke it.
