Background

After Commerce initiated this sunset review ^[1] of the Order,^[2] pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), domestic interested parties ^[3] timely submitted a notices of intent to participate in the sunset review,^[4] and an adequate substantive response regarding the sunset review.^[5] The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(E) of the Act as a trade association of domestic producers of steel racks.^[6] Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any respondent interested party, nor was a hearing requested.
