SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the
third sunset reviews of the Orders,\1\ pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On July 10, 2024,
Commerce received a notice of intent to participate from Chemtrade
Chemicals US LLC (Chemtrade), the domestic interested party, within the
15-day period specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ Chemtrade
claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as
a producer of the domestic like product in the United States. On July
22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in these administrative
proceedings by seven days.\4\ The deadline for the final results of
these sunset reviews is now November 5, 2024.
