SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 6, 2004, Commerce published the Order in the Federal
Register.\1\ On October 3, 2025, Commerce published the notice of
initiation of this fourth sunset review of the Order, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Tetrahydrofurfuryl
Alcohol from the People's Republic of China, 69 FR 47911 (August 6,
2004) (Order).
\2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 90 FR 48048
(October 3, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On October 9, 2025, Commerce received a timely and complete notice
of intent to participate in the sunset review for domestic interested
parties within the deadline specified in the 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The domestic interested party claimed the
interested party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the
Act as a producer of the domestic like product.\4\ On December 9, 2025,
Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it
had received a notice of intent to participate from the domestic
interested parties.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Domestic Interested Party's Letter, ``Sunset Review
(Fourth Review) of the Antidumping Duty Order on Tetrahydrofurfuryl
Alcohol from the People's Republic of China: Domestic Interested
Party Notification of Intent to Participate,'' dated October 9,
2025.

\5\ See Commerce's Letter, ``Sunset Reviews Initiated on October
3, 2025,'' dated December 9, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On October 31, 2025, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i), domestic
interested parties filed a timely and adequate substantive response.\6\
Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any respondent
interested party. On December 8, 2025, Commerce notified the ITC that
it did not receive substantive response from any respondent interested
parties.\7\ As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce is conducting an expedited
(120-day) sunset review of the Order.

Review) of the Antidumping Duty Order on Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol
from the People's Republic of China: Domestic Interested Party
Substantive Response to Notice of Initiation,'' dated October 31,
2025 (Substantive Response).
\7\ See Commerce's Letter, ``Sunset Reviews Initiated on October
3, 2025,'' dated December 8, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\8\ Additionally, due to a backlog of documents
that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24,
2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an
additional 21 days.\9\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final
results is now April 7, 2026.
