SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

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), and 19 CFR 
351.218(c).\2\ On August 16, 2024, Commerce received a notice of intent 
to participate in this review from the Coalition for Fair Rack Imports 
(CFRI), the domestic interested party, within the 15-day deadline 
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ CFRI claimed interested party 
status within the meaning of section 771(9)(E) of the Act
