October 1, 2020, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the 
third sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act).\2\ On October 9, 2020, Commerce received 
a notice of intent to participate in these sunset reviews from Sun 
Chemical Corporation (Sun Chemical), a petitioner in the original 
investigation, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ Sun Chemical claimed interested party status under 
section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a domestic producer of CVP-23. On 
October 30, 2020, Sun Chemical provided complete substantive responses 
for these reviews within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(3)(i).\4\ Commerce received no substantive responses from 
any other interested parties, nor was a hearing requested. On November 
20, 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, Commerce conducted 
expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).
