SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 4, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation of
the third sunset review of the Order,\1\ pursuant to section 751(c) of

Commerce received a timely notice of intent to participate from Mid
Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (Mid Continent), a domestic interested
party, within the 15-day 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 U.S. producer of a domestic
like product.
