SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 4, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register the CVD
order on LWS from Vietnam.\1\ On May 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 May 10, 2024, Commerce
received a timely notice of intent to participate from Polytex Fiber
LLC and ProAmpac Holdings Inc. (collectively, the domestic interested
parties) within the 15-day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The domestic interested parties claimed interested
party status under sections 771(9)(E) and (F) of the Act .
