SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 13, 2019, Commerce published the AD order on file
cabinets from China.\1\ On November 4, 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 November 12, 2024, Commerce received a notice of intent to
participate in this sunset review from Hirsh Industries LLC (the
domestic interested party) within the deadline
[[Page 10475]]
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1).\3\ The domestic interested party

United States.
