automatically revoke the order without further review.\6\

    If we receive an order-specific notice of intent to participate 
from a domestic interested party, Commerce's regulations provide that 
all parties wishing to participate in a Sunset Review must file 
complete substantive responses not later than 30 days after the date of 
publication in the Federal Register of this notice of initiation. The 
required contents of a substantive response, on an order-specific 
basis, are set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note that certain 
information requirements differ for respondent and domestic parties. 
Also, note that Commerce's information requirements are distinct from 
the Commission's information requirements. Consult Commerce's
