# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On August 28, 1986, Commerce published the antidumping duty order on candles from China.[1]                                          On March 31, 2021, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the five-year sunset review of the                     *Order,*                     pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).[2]                                          On April 2, 2021, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this sunset review from the National Candle Association (the petitioner) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[3]                                          The petitioner claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as the petitioner in the less-than-fair-value investigation whose members are manufacturers, producers, or wholesalers of the domestic like product. On April 29, 2021, the petitioner 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, nor was a hearing requested. On May 21, 2021, 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 this                     *Order.*

## Scope of the Order

                    The products covered by the                     *Order*                     include certain scented or unscented petroleum wax candles made from petroleum wax and having fiber or paper-cored wicks. For a full description of the scope,                     *see*                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[6] 

## Analysis of Comments Received

                    All issues raised in this review, including the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping in the event of revocation and the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the order were revoked, are addressed in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included as an appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at                     *http://access.trade.gov.*                     In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at                     *http://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​.*

## Final Results of Sunset Review

                    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the antidumping duty order on candles from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and that the magnitude of the margin of dumping likely to prevail would be weighted-average margins up to 104.33 percent.[7]
