The magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail is indicated in the “Final Results of the Sunset Review” section of this notice.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On November 3, 2014, the Department initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty order on THFA from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“Act”).[1]                                          On November 6, 2014, Penn A Kem LLC (“PAK”), the petitioner in the THFA investigation, timely notified the Department that it intended to participate in the sunset review claiming domestic interested party status under 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(v) and section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a domestic producer of THFA.[2]                                          The Department then received a complete substantive response filed by PAK on December 2, 2014, within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).[3]                                          The Department did not receive any responses from any respondent interested parties. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), we conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the                     *Order.*                     As a result of this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the                     *Order*                     would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, at the levels indicated in the “Final Results of the Sunset Review” section of this notice,                     *infra.*

## Scope of the Order

                    The product covered by this order is THFA (C5H10O2). THFA, a primary                           ( print page 12982)                        alcohol, is a clear, water white to pale yellow liquid. THFA is a member of the heterocyclic compounds known as furans and is miscible with water and soluble in many common organic solvents. THFA is currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the United States (“HTSUS”) under subheading 2932.13.00.00. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and for customs purposes, the Department's written description of the merchandise subject to the order is dispositive.

## Final Results of the Sunset Review

                    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, the Department determines that revocation of the                     *Order*                     would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at weighted-average dumping margins up to 136.86 percent.
