SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On May 10, 2012, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD order on steel nails from the UAE.^[1] On September 1, 2022, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the second sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).^[2] On September 13, 2022, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this review from Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (Mid Continent) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).^[3] Mid Continent claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of the domestic like product in the United States.

On October 3, 2022, Commerce received an adequate substantive response from Mid Continent within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).^[4] We received no substantive responses from respondent interested parties. On October 25, 2022, 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 the Order.
