amended (the Act), the Department published notice of the initiation of 
the second sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on CVP-23 from 
India and the PRC.\2\ On April 13, 2015, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(i), the following domestic CVP-23 producers timely 
notified the Department of their intent to participate in these 
reviews: Nation Ford Chemical Company and Sun Chemical Corporation 
(collectively, Petitioners).\3\ Petitioners claimed interested party 
status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as manufacturers of a

a complete substantive response for each review from Petitioners within 
the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\4\ We
