The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that in automatic five-year sunset reviews scheduled to begin in August it will consider revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on steel racks from China (A-570-088/C-570-089) and steel trailer wheels from China (A-570-090/C-570-091); as well as the antidumping duty orders on fresh tomatoes from Mexico (A-201-820). These orders will be revoked, or the investigation terminated, unless Commerce finds that revocation would lead to dumping and the International Trade Commission finds that revocation would result in injury to the U.S. industry, Commerce said.

In a bill that Republicans say is "rightsizing agencies and programs," the division of the Commerce Department that handles antidumping and countervailing duties administration would be cut by 5.7% -- $7 million -- from the current fiscal year.
