SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 1, 2019, Commerce published the Notice of Initiation of 
the five-year review of the antidumping duty order on fish fillets from 
Vietnam, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act).\1\ On October 11, 2019, Commerce received a notice 
of intent to participate in this review from the domestic interested 
parties,\2\ within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). 
The domestic interested parties 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 October 
31, 2019, the domestic interested parties provided a complete 
substantive response for this review within the 30-day deadline 
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no substantive 
responses from any other interested parties, nor was a hearing 
requested. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and

day) sunset review of the order.
