SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 1, 2022, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the 
fifth sunset review of the Order,\1\ pursuant to section 751(c) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On July 11, 2022, Penn A 
Kem, LLC (PennAKem), a domestic interested party (formerly known as 
Penn Specialty Chemicals, Inc. and Great Lakes Chemical, the former 
petitioner in the underlying investigation), timely notified Commerce 
of its intent to participate within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ On August 1, 2022, Commerce received a complete 
substantive response from PennAKem within the 30-day period specified 
in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\4\ Commerce received no substantive 
responses from respondent interested parties. Based on the notice of 
intent to participate and adequate response filed by PennAKem, and the 
lack of response from any respondent interested party, Commerce 
conducted an expedited sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).
