 DATES: Applicable July 7, 2022.
 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel Alexander, AD/CVD Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4313.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On April 3, 2017, Commerce published the CVD order on SSSS from China.[1]
                    
                     On March 1, 2022, 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).[2]
                    
                     Commerce received a timely notice of intent to participate from Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., North American Stainless, and Outokumpu Stainless USA LLC (domestic interested parties) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[3]
                    
                     The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as domestic producers engaged in the production of SSSS in the United States. Commerce received a substantive response from the domestic interested parties [4]
                    
                     within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no substantive response from any other interested parties in this proceeding. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), we determined that the respondent interested parties did not provide an adequate response to the notice of initiation and, therefore, Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the 
                    *Order.* Scope of the Order The products covered by the 
                    *Order*
                     are stainless sheet and strip, whether in coils or straight lengths. For a complete description of the scope of the 
                    *Order, see*
