SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 3, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD
order on geogrids from China.\1\ On February 1, 2022, Commerce
initiated the first sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On February
16, 2022, Commerce received a timely-filed notice of intent to
participate in this review from Tensar Corporation (Tensar), a domestic
interested party, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ Tensar claimed interested party status under
section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of the domestic like product
in the United States.

On March 3, 2022, Commerce received an adequate substantive

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. On

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.
