Order

SUMMARY: As a result of this expedited sunset review, the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the 
antidumping duty (AD) order on laminated woven sacks (LWS) from the 
People's Republic of China (China) would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the 
``Final Results of Sunset Review'' section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 7, 2008, Commerce published the AD order on LWS from 
China.\1\ On July 1, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation 
of the five-year sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On July 12, 2024, 
Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this review from 
the Laminated Woven Sacks Fair Trade Coalition and its individual 
members, Polytex Fibers LLC and ProAmpac Holdings Inc. (collectively, 
domestic interested parties), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The domestic interested parties claimed interested 
party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as manufacturers of 
domestic like product in the United States, and under sections 
771(9)(E) and (F) of the Act as a trade association, a majority of 
whose members are producers of a domestic like product in the United 
States. On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this 
administrative proceeding by seven days.\4\ The deadline for these 
final results is November 5, 2024.

    On July 31, 2024, the domestic interested parties provided a timely 
substantive response for this review within the 30-day deadline 
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\5\ We received no substantive 
responses from any other interested parties, nor was a hearing 
requested. On August 21, 2024, 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, 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.

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 antidumping duty order on

prevail would be weighted-average dumping margins up to 91.73 percent.
