SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On August 7, 2008, Commerce published the order on laminated woven sacks from China.[1]
                    
                     On July 1, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the third 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 from the Laminated Woven Sacks Fair Trade Coalition [3]
                    
                     (the domestic interested party), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[4]
                    
                     The domestic interested party claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29) as U.S. manufacturers of laminated woven sacks. On July 31, 2024, Commerce received an adequate substantive response from the domestic interested party within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).[5]
                    
                     Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any government or respondent interested party to this proceeding. On August 21, 2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission 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). Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by this 
                    *Order*
