In accordance with section 355.25(d)(4)(iii) of the Department's regulations, if no domestic interested party (as defined in sections 355.2 (i)(3), (i)(4), (i)(5), and (i)(6) of the regulations) objects to the Department's intent to terminate the suspended investigation pursuant to this notice, we shall conclude that the suspension agreement is no longer of interest to interested parties and proceed with the termination. However, if a domestic interested party does object to the Department's intent to terminate pursuant to this notice, the Department will not terminate the suspended investigation. Opportunity To Object Not later than 30 days from the publication of this notice, domestic interested parties may object to the Department's intent to terminate this suspended investigation. Any submission objecting to the termination must contain the name and case number of the suspension agreement and a statement that explains how the objecting party qualifies as a domestic interested party under sections 355.2 (i)(3), (i)(4), (i)(5), or (i)(6) of the Department's regulations.
