DATES:

Applicable November 12, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On October 6, 2008, Commerce published the AD Order on steel hangers from China. ⁽¹⁾ On July 1, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the five-year sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). ⁽²⁾ On July 10, 2024, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this review from M&B Metal Products Company, Inc. (the domestic interested party) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). ⁽³⁾ The domestic interested party claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a manufacturer, producer, or wholesaler of a domestic like product in the United States.

On July 18, 2024, the domestic interested party provided a timely substantive response for this review within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). ⁽⁴⁾ We received no substantive responses from any other interested parties, nor was a hearing requested. On August 21, 2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) 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 this Order. On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days. ⁽⁶⁾ The deadline for the final results is now November 5, 2024.

Final Results of Sunset Review

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the antidumping duty order on steel hangers from China would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, and that the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail would be weighted-average dumping margins up to 187.25 percent.
