the sunset review of the AD order on pure magnesium from China,\1\ 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the

participate from US Magnesium LLC (US Magnesium), a domestic interested 
party, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ US

from any other interested parties with respect to the Order covered by

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
