Background

On November 4, 2024, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the third sunset review of the Order, 1 pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 2 On November 15, 2024, Commerce received a timely notice of intent to participate from Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (Mid Continent), a domestic interested party, within the 15-day 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 U.S. producer of a domestic like product.
