SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On November 10, 2008, Commerce published the Orders in the Federal Register .^[1] On August 1, 2025, Commerce published the notice of initiation of these third sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tarriff Act of 1930 (the Act).^[2]

On August 15 and 18, 2025, Commerce received timely and complete notices of intent to participate in the sunset reviews from the domestic interested parties ^[3] within the deadline specified in the 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).^[4] The domestic ( printed page 5892) interested parties claimed the interested party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the Act as U.S. producers of the domestic like product.^[5] On August 22, 2025, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it had received a notice of intent to participate from the domestic interested parties.^[6]

On August 29, 2025, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i), the domestic interested parties filed timely and adequate substantive responses.^[7] Commerce did not receive a substantive response from any respondent interested party. On September 23, 2025, Commerce notified the ITC that it did not receive substantive response from any respondent interested parties.^[8] As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce is conducting expedited (120-day) sunset reviews of the Orders.

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days.^[9] Additionally, due to a backlog of documents that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an additional 21 days.^[10] Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now February 5, 2026.
