SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    After Commerce initiated the sunset review \1\ of the Order,\2\ 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), domestic interested parties \3\ timely submitted complete notices 
of intent to participate in,\4\ and adequate substantive responses 
regarding, the review.\5\ The domestic interested parties claimed 
domestic interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as 
producers of the domestic like product in the United States.\6\ 
Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any respondent 
interested party, nor was a hearing requested. On June 21, 2024, 
Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did 
not receive adequate substantive responses from respondent interested 
parties.\7\ 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.
