Background
On December 23, 2019, Commerce published the AD order on aluminum
wire and cable from China in the Federal Register.\1\ On November 4,
2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset
review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ Commerce received notices of intent to
participate from Encore Wire Corporation (Encore) and Southwire
Company, LLC (Southwire) (collectively, the domestic interested
parties) on November 6 and 13, 2024, respectively, within the 15-day
period 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 producers of the domestic like product in the United States. On
November 25, 2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade
Commission (ITC) that it received notices of intent to participate from
