 Department of Commerce International Trade Administration [C-549-818]
 AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
 SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products (hot-rolled steel) from Thailand would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies at the levels indicated in the “Final Results of Sunset Review” section of this notice.
 DATES: Applicable November 12, 2024.
 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas Cloyd, AD/CVD Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-1246.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On December 3, 2001, Commerce published the CVD order on hot-rolled steel from Thailand.[1]
                    
                     On July 1, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the fourth five-year sunset review of the 
                    *Order,*
                     pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.218(c).[2]
                    
                     On July 15, 2024, and July 16, 2024, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., Nucor Corporation, Steel Dynamics, Inc., SSAB Enterprises, LLC, and U.S. Steel Corporation (collectively, the domestic interested parties) filed timely notices of intent to participate in accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1).[3]
                    
                     The domestic interested parties claim interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as producers of a domestic like product in the United States. Commerce received a substantive response from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).[4]
                    
                     We received no substantive response from the Royal Thai Government (RTG) or any other interested party in this proceeding.[5]
                    
                     As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), we determined that the respondent interested parties did not provide an adequate response to the notice of initiation and, therefore, Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the 
                    *Order.* Scope of the Order The product covered by the 
                    *Order*
                     is hot-rolled steel from Thailand. For a complete description of the scope of the

                    *Order*
