SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 15, 2019, Commerce published the AD orders on steel 
propane cylinders from China and Thailand.\1\ On July 1, 2024, Commerce 
published the Initiation Notice of the first sunset reviews of the 
Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act).\2\ In accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i) and 
(ii), Commerce received a notice of intent to participate from 
Worthington Enterprises (the domestic interested party) within 15 days 
after the publication of the Initiation Notice.\3\ The domestic 
interested party claimed interested party status under section 
771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of a domestic like product in the 
United States.\4\

domestic interested party within the 30-day deadline specified in 19

from any other interested parties. On August 21, 2024, Commerce

receive a complete substantive response from other interested 
parties.\6\ As a result, in accordance with section 751(c)(3)(B) of the

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in these administrative proceedings 
by seven days.\7\ The deadline for the final results is now November 5,
