SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 1, 2023, Commerce published the Initiation Notice of the sunset review of the order? 1 in the Federal Register 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 a notice of intent to participate from Hallmark Cards, Inc. (Hallmark) within 15 days after the date of publication of the Initiation Notice. 3 Hallmark claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of a domestic like product in the United States. 4 Commerce received an adequate substantive response to the Initiation Notice from Hallmark within the 30-day period specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). 5 We did not receive substantive responses from any other interested parties. On June 23, 2023, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from other interested parties. 6 As a result, in accordance with section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted expedited, i.e., 120-day sunset reviews of the Orders.
