 DATES: Applicable December 2, 2024.
 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peter Zukowski, AD/CVD Operations, Office III, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-0189.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On September 3, 2019, Commerce published the 
                    *Order*
                     on steel wheels from China.[1]
                    
                     On August 1, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset review of the 
                    *Order,*
                     pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).[2]
                    
                     On August 16, 2024, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate from Dexstar Wheel Division of Americana Development Inc. (the 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 engaged in the production of steel wheels in the United States. On August 30, 2024, Commerce received an adequate substantive response from the domestic interested party within the 30-day deadline 
                    ( print page 95175)
                    specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).[4]
                    
                     Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any government or respondent interested party to this proceeding. On September 24, 2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from any respondent interested party.[5]
                    
                     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*
                     is certain on-the-road steel wheels, discs, and rims for tubeless tires with a nominal wheel diameter of 12 inches to 16.5 inches, regardless of width. For a complete description of the scope of the 
                    *Order, see*

                    *Order*
                     and the countervailable subsidy rates likely to prevail if the 
                    *Order*
                     were to be revoked, is provided in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

                    *Order*
