# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On August 28, 2000, Commerce published in the                     **Federal Register**                     the AD order on tin mill products from Japan.[1]                                          On June 1, 2023, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the fourth sunset review of the                     *Order,*                     pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).[2] 

                    On June 16, 2023, Commerce received notices of intent to participate in this review from Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (Cleveland-Cliffs) and United States Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[3]                                          Cleveland-Cliffs and U.S. Steel claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as producers of the domestic like product in the United States. On June 30 and July 3, 2023, we received adequate substantive responses from Cleveland-Cliffs and U.S. Steel, respectively, within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).[4]                                          We received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties. Therefore, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.[5]                                          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.*

## Scope of the Order

                    The merchandise covered by the                     *Order*                     is tin mill products. For a complete description of the scope of the                     *Order, see*                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[6] 

## Analysis of Comments Received

                    A complete discussion of all issues raised in this sunset review is contained in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.[7]                                          A list of topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included as an appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at                     *http://access.trade.gov.*                     In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at                     *http://access.trade.gov/​public/​FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.*

## Final Results of Sunset Review

                    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the                     *Order*                     would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and that the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail would be weighted-average margins up to 95.29 percent.[8]
