SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 1, 2021, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the 
third sunset review of the AD Order \1\ on magnesium metal from China, 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act).\2\ On June 7, 2021, Commerce received a notice of intent to 
participate from US Magnesium LLC (US Magnesium), a domestic producer 
of magnesium metal and the petitioner in the underlying investigation, 
within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ US 
Magnesium claimed domestic interested party status under section

[[Page 51655]]

771(9)(C) of the Act, as a manufacturer of a domestic like product in 
the United States.\4\ On June 8, 2021, US Magnesium timely filed its 
substantive response within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(3)(i).\5\ Commerce received no substantive responses from 
any other interested parties with respect to the Order covered by this 
sunset review, nor was a hearing requested. On July 22, 2021, Commerce 
notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not 
receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested 
parties.\6\ As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce is conducting an expedited 
(120-day) sunset review of the Order.
