SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 10, 2012, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD 
order on steel nails from the UAE.\1\ On September 1, 2022, Commerce

Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended

Inc. (Mid Continent) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ Mid Continent claimed interested party status 
under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of the domestic like
