SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On February 1, 2023, Commerce published the notice of initiation of 
the sunset reviews of the Orders on certain lined paper products from 
China and India,\1\ pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On February 15, 2023, Commerce received 
a notice of intent to participate from the domestic interested party 
for both of the Orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ 
The domestic interested party claimed domestic interested party status 
under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as each member of the association 
is a manufacturer of the domestic like product in the United States.\4\ 
On March 2, 2023, the domestic interested party filed timely 
substantive responses within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(3)(i).\5\ Commerce did not receive a substantive response 
from any other interested parties with respect to the Orders covered by 
these sunset reviews, nor was a hearing requested. On March 23, 2023, 
Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did 
not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested 
parties.\6\ As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce is conducting expedited 
(120-day) sunset reviews of these Orders.
