Handles From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of the 
Expedited Fifth Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Orders

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of 
the antidumping duty orders on heavy forged hand tools, finished or 
unfinished, with or without handles (HFHTs) 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.

DATES: Applicable April 1, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nathan James, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5305.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 19, 1991, Commerce published the Orders on HFHTs from 
China.\1\ On December 1, 2021, Commerce published the notice of 
initiation of the five-year sunset review of the Orders, pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On 
December 15, 2021, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate 
in this sunset review from a domestic interested party, Estwing 
Manufacturing Company, Inc. (domestic interested party) within the 
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The domestic 
interested party claimed interested party status under section 
771(9)(C) of the Act as a U.S. producer of HFHTs. On January 3, 2022, 
the domestic interested party provided a complete substantive response 
for this review within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(3)(i).\4\ We received no substantive responses from any 
other interested parties. On January 20, 2022, Commerce notified the 
U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate 
substantive response from respondent interested parties.\5\ 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 the Orders.
