SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 6, 2008, Commerce published the AD order on hangers from 
China.\1\ On July 1, 2024, the ITC instituted,\2\ and Commerce 
initiated,\3\ the third sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of 
its review, Commerce determined that revocation of the Order would 
likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and, 
therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping 
likely to prevail should the Order be revoked.\4\
