SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2022, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the
fifth sunset review of the Order,\1\ pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On July 11, 2022, Penn A
Kem, LLC (PennAKem), a domestic interested party (formerly known as
Penn Specialty Chemicals, Inc. and Great Lakes Chemical, the former
petitioner in the underlying investigation), timely notified Commerce
of its intent to participate within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ On August 1, 2022, Commerce received a complete
substantive response from PennAKem within the 30-day period specified
in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\4\ Commerce received no substantive
responses from respondent interested parties. Based on the notice of
intent to participate and adequate response filed by PennAKem, and the
lack of response from any respondent interested party, Commerce
conducted an expedited sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).
