People's Republic of China: Final Results of the Expedited First Sunset 
Review of the Countervailing Duty Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of 
the countervailing duty (CVD) order on boltless steel shelving units 
prepackaged for sale (boltless steel shelving) from the People's 
Republic of China (China) would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of countervailable subsidies at the levels indicated in the 
``Final Results of Sunset Review'' section of this notice.

DATES: Applicable January 4, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nathan James, AD/CVD, Operations, 
Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5305.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 21, 2015, Commerce published in the Federal Register the 
CVD order on boltless steel shelves from China.\1\ On September 1, 
2020, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset 
review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On September 14, 2020, Commerce received 
a notice of intent to participate from Edsal Manufacturing Company, 
Inc. (the domestic interested party), within the deadline specified in 
19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The domestic interested party claimed 
interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a 
producer of the domestic like product in the United States.

2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 30, 2020, Commerce received a timely and adequate 
substantive response from the domestic interested party.\4\ We received 
no substantive responses from any other interested parties, including 
the Government of China, nor was a hearing requested. On October 27, 
2020, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it 
did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent 
interested parties.\5\ As a result, pursuant to 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited 
(120-day) sunset review of the Order.
