SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 23, 2010, Commerce published the CVD order on steel grating
from China.\1\ On May 1, 2026, Commerce published the notice of
initiation of the second sunset review of the Order, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19
CFR 351.218(c).\2\

(May 1, 2026).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On May 15, 2026, Commerce received a notice of intent to
participate in this review from the Metal Grating Coalition (the
domestic interested party), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The Metal Grating Coalition claims that it has
interested party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(F) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(viii) as an association of producers of
the domestic like product.\4\

On June 1, 2026, Commerce received an adequate substantive response
from the Metal Grating Coalition, within the 30-day deadline specified
in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\5\ Commerce did not receive a substantive
response from either the Government of China or a respondent interested
party to this proceeding. On June 26, 2026, Commerce notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an
adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.\6\ As
a result, Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of
the Order, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).
