The Department of Commerce conducted a second sunset review and found that if the countervailing duty order on steel grating from China were revoked, it would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of subsidies. This decision means that the protections against unfair subsidies will remain in place. The review included input from domestic manufacturers represented by the Metal Grating Coalition, but no significant responses from other interested parties. The final results were published, affirming the continuation of these duties to prevent unfair trade practices.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Commerce decided that if the special rules stopping unfair help to Chinese steel makers were canceled, it would be bad, so they are keeping the rules to help make sure trading stays fair.
