SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 10, 2012, and February 5, 2013, Commerce published the
AD orders on hangers from Taiwan and Vietnam, respectively.\1\ On April
3, 2023, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the five-year
sunset review of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On April 11, 2023, Commerce
received a notice of intent to participate in this review from M&B
Metal Products Company, Inc. (domestic interested party) within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The domestic
interested party claimed interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act as a manufacturer of a domestic like product in
the United States. On April 13, 2023, the domestic interested party
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 April 24, 2023, Commerce notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) 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 the Orders.
