SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Community Facilities offers direct 

loans and grants to develop or improve 

essential facilities and services in 

communities across rural America. 

These amenities meet essential needs 

and help increase the competitiveness 

of rural communities in attracting and 

retaining businesses that provide 

employment and services for their 

residents. 

Public bodies, non-profit 

organizations and federally recognized 

Tribes can use the funds to construct, 

expand or improve facilities that 

provide health care, education, public 

safety, and public services. Projects can 

include fire and rescue stations, village 

and town halls, health care clinics, 

hospitals, adult- and child-care centers, 

assisted living facilities, rehabilitation 

centers, public buildings, schools, 

libraries, and many other essential 

community facilities. Financing may 

also cover the costs for land acquisition, 

professional fees, and purchase of 

equipment when associated with an 

essential community facility. These 

facilities not only improve the basic 

quality of life but assist in the 

development and sustainability of rural 

America. 

Potential Topics for Comments 

The following questions and 

discussion items are provided as 

examples of topics stakeholders may 

wish to provide comment. The 

Community Facilities Program is 

requesting comment and discussion on 

the following topics: 

Barriers To Be Addressed 

1. What challenges or barriers have 

you encountered that make it difficult to 

access CF loan and grant resources? 

2. What suggestions do you have for 

Community Facilities to address these 

challenges through regulatory changes? 

Application Process 

3. Community Facilities is 

contemplating allowing projects below a 

certain threshold to submit a simplified 

application with less required 

documentation. What key requirements 

would you simplify? 

Expanded Eligibility 

4. Community Facilities has 

historically limited investments in 

recreation type projects. Community 

Facilities is considering expanding 

eligibility to certain recreation facilities 

like hiking/biking trails and public 

pools. Do you have suggestions for what 

recreation facilities should and should 

not be funded? 

5. The Agriculture Improvement Act 

of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill) gave 

Community Facilities the authority to 

refinance certain hospital debt to 

preserve a rural community’s access to 

health services. What suggestions do 

you have for how Community Facilities 

should implement the hospital 

refinancing provision? 

6. Community Facilities is 

contemplating expanding eligibility for 

funding housing projects to meet the 

essential workforce needs of the 

education, health care, and public safety 

sectors. What types of housing projects 

should Community Facilities fund? 

What types of facilities should be 

allowed to use Agency funding to 

finance housing projects for a facility’s 

workforce needs? What factors or 

limitations should Community Facilities 

consider? 

Miscellaneous 

7. Any other key topics or issues 

Community Facilities should consider 

addressing through the regulation 

update? 

Community Facilities is consolidating 

its existing regulations at 7 CFR part 

3570, subpart B (for grants), and 7 CFR 

part 1942, subparts A (for CF direct 

loans) and C (for Fire and Rescue and 

Other Small Community Facilities 

Projects), and incorporating all the 

necessary loan and grant making 

requirements into one streamlined rule; 

7 CFR part 3570, subpart A. This 

consolidation will update its regulations 

and codify policies to current practices. 

It will also codify the Tribal College 

Initiative and Economic Impact 

Initiative grant programs. Community 

Facilities is seeking stakeholder input 

on key proposed areas for changes and 

updates to the consolidated Community 

Facilities Direct Loan and Grant

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 3, 2023, Commerce published 

the Initiation Notice of the second 

sunset review of the AD order on sinks 

from China,1 pursuant to section 751(c) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act).2

On July 17, 2023, Elkay 

Manufacturing Company (Elkay), a 

domestic interested party, notified 

Commerce of its intent to participate 

within the 15-day period specified in 19 

CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3 Elkay claimed 

interested party status under section 

771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of the 

domestic like product in the United 

States. 

On August 2, 2023, Commerce 

received a complete substantive 

response to the Initiation Notice with 

respect to the Order from Elkay within 

the 30-day period specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).4 Commerce did not 

receive a substantive response from any 

other interested parties with respect to 

the Order covered by this sunset review, 

nor was a hearing requested. On August 

22, 2023, Commerce notified the U.S. 

International Trade Commission that it 

did not receive an adequate substantive 

response from respondent interested 

parties in this sunset review.5 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 this Order. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the Order 

are sinks from China. Imports of subject 

merchandise are currently classified 

under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheadings 7324.10.0000 and 

7324.10.0010. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of the 

Order is dispositive. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order,

Memorandum.6

raised in this sunset review is provided 

in the accompanying Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

issues discussed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is included in

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 a continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and that the 

magnitude of the dumping margin likely 

to prevail would be up to 76.45 percent.
