751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.218(c).\2\ On August 16, 2024, Commerce received a notice of intent
to participate in this review from the Coalition for Fair Rack Imports
(CFRI), the domestic interested party, within the 15-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ CFRI claimed interested party
status within the meaning of section 771(9)(E) of the Act
[[Page 96946]]
and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(17) as a trade or business association a majority
