SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that
revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on common alloy
aluminum sheet (aluminum sheet) from the People's Republic of China
(China) would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 6, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
CVD Order.\1\ On January 2, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal
Register the notice of initiation of the first five-year sunset review
of the Order pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).\2\ On January 9, 2024, we received a timely notice
of intent to participate in this sunset review from the Aluminum
Association Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet Trade Enforcement Working Group
and its individual members (Domestic Industry) within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The Domestic Industry claimed
interested party status pursuant to 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(viii) and
section 771(9)(E) of the Act.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On February 1, 2024, Commerce received an adequate substantive
response from the Domestic Industry within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\4\ Commerce received no
substantive responses from any other interested parties, including the
Government of China, nor was a hearing requested. On February 22, 2024,
Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did
not receive an adequate substantive response from other interested
parties.\5\ As a result, in accordance with section 751(c)(3)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited
i.e., 120-day, sunset review of the Order.
