SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 

Background

    On March 2, 2015, the Department published the notice of initiation 
of the fourth sunset review of the antidumping finding on PSP tape from 
Italy pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act).\1\ On March 17, 2015, the Department received a notice of 
intent to participate in this review from the following domestic 
producers of PSP tape: 3M Company, Intertape Polymer Group Inc., and 
Shurtape Technologies LLC (collectively, the petitioners), within the 
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The petitioners claimed 
interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as 
manufacturers, producers, or wholesalers of a domestic like product in 
the United States. On April 1, 2015, we received a complete substantive 
response from the petitioners within the 30-day deadline specified in 
19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\2\ We received no substantive responses from 
any respondent interested parties. As a result, pursuant to section 
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the 
Department conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the 
finding.
