SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On March 1, 2023, Commerce published the notice of initiation of 
the first sunset review of the AD order on aluminum foil from China,\1\ 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act).\2\ On March 9, 2023, Commerce received a notice of intent to 
participate in the sunset review from the Aluminum Association Trade 
Enforcement Working Group and its individual members, Gr[auml]nges 
Americas Inc., JW Aluminum Company, Novelis Corporation, and Reynolds 
Consumer Products, LLC (collectively, the domestic interested parties), 
within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The 
domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under 
section 771(9)(C) of the Act as U.S. producers of aluminum foil, and 
under section 771(9)(E) of the Act as a business association, a 
majority of whose members are U.S. producers of the domestic like 
product.
