SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 27, 2008, Commerce
published the CVD order on sodium
nitrite from China.1 On February 5,
2019, Commerce published the notice of
initiation for the second sunset review
of the CVD Order, pursuant to section
751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).2 Subsequently,
Commerce received a notice of intent to
participate from Chemtrade Chemicals
US LLC (Chemtrade), a domestic
interested party, within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3
Chemtrade claimed interested party
status under section 771(9)(C) of the
Act, as a producer of a domestic like
product in the United States. In
addition, Commerce received a
complete substantive response to the
notice of initiation from the petitioner
