Alliance Corp., Webco Industries, Inc., and Zekelman Industries, Inc.
(collectively, domestic interested parties), timely notified Commerce
of their intent to participate within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ On February 2, 2023, Commerce received a complete
substantive response from the domestic interested parties within the
30-day period specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\4\ Commerce
received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties.

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
