SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 24, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
[[Page 65320]]
CVD order on Steel Wheels from China.\1\ On April 1, 2024, 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 April 16,
2024, Commerce received timely filed notices of intent to participate
from Accuride and Maxion \3\ (the petitioners) within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\4\ The petitioners claimed
interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a
producer and importer of the domestic like product.

sunset review of the Order, which made the deadline July 30, 2024. On

proceeding by seven days.\7\ The deadline for these expedited final
