the second sunset review of the AD order on aluminum extrusions from 
China,\1\ pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act).\2\ In accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i) and 
(ii), Commerce received notice of intent to participate in this sunset 
review from the Aluminum Extrusions Fair Trade Committee (the domestic 
interested party), within 15 days after the date of publication of the 
Initiation Notice.\3\ The domestic interested party claimed interested 
party status under section 771(9)(E) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.102(b)(29)(vii), as a committee composed of U.S. producers of the 
domestic like product. The individual committee members claimed 
interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.102(b)(29)(v) as U.S. producers of the domestic like product.
