Expedited Fourth Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: As a result of this expedited sunset review, the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the 
antidumping duty (AD) order on certain tin mill products (tin mill 
products) from Japan would likely lead to the continuation or 
recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the ``Final Results of 
Sunset Review'' section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 28, 2000, Commerce published in the Federal Register the 
AD order on tin mill products from Japan.\1\ On June 1, 2023, Commerce 
published the notice of initiation of the fourth sunset review of the 
Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Tin Mill Products from Japan: Notice of 
Antidumping Duty Order, 65 FR 52067 (August 28, 2000) (Order).
    \2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 88 FR 35832 
(June 1, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 16, 2023, Commerce received notices of intent to 
participate in this review from Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (Cleveland-
Cliffs) and United States Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel) within the 
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ Cleveland-Cliffs and 
U.S. Steel claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of 
the Act, as producers of the domestic like product in the United 
States. On June 30 and July 3, 2023, we received adequate substantive 
responses from Cleveland-Cliffs and U.S. Steel, respectively, within 
the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\4\ We 
received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties. 
Therefore, 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, pursuant to section 
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce 
conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the Order.
