SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 7, 2008, Commerce published the AD order on LWS from
China.\1\ On July 1, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation
of the five-year sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On July 12, 2024,
Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this review from
the Laminated Woven Sacks Fair Trade Coalition and its individual
members, Polytex Fibers LLC and ProAmpac Holdings Inc. (collectively,
domestic interested parties), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The domestic interested parties claimed interested
party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as manufacturers of
domestic like product in the United States, and under sections
771(9)(E) and (F) of the Act as a trade association, a majority of
whose members are producers of a domestic like product in the United
States. On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this
administrative proceeding by seven days.\4\ The deadline for these
final results is November 5, 2024.

On July 31, 2024, the domestic interested parties provided a timely
substantive response for this review within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\5\ We received no substantive
responses from any other interested parties, nor was a hearing
requested. On August 21, 2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International
Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an adequate substantive
response from respondent interested parties.\6\ 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 this Order.
