SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 1, 2019, Commerce published the Notice of Initiation of 
the five-year review of the antidumping duty order on fish fillets from 
Vietnam, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act).\1\ On October 11, 2019, Commerce received a notice 
of intent to participate in this review from the domestic interested

in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The domestic interested parties claimed 
interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as 
manufacturers, producers, or wholesalers of a domestic like product in 
the United States. On October 31, 2019, the domestic interested parties 
provided a complete substantive response for this review within the 30-
day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no 
substantive responses from any other interested parties, nor was a 
hearing requested. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited 
(120-day) sunset review of the order.
