SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 28, 1986, Commerce published the antidumping duty order
on candles from China.\1\ On March 31, 2021, Commerce published the
notice of initiation of the five-year sunset review of the Order,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).\2\ On April 2, 2021, Commerce received a notice of intent to
participate in this sunset review from the National Candle Association
(the petitioner) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The petitioner claimed interested party status
under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as the petitioner in the less-than-
fair-value investigation whose members are manufacturers, producers, or
wholesalers of the domestic like product. On April 29, 2021, the
petitioner provided a complete substantive response for this review
within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\4\ We
received no substantive responses from any other interested parties,
nor was a hearing requested. On May 21, 2021, 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 this Order.
