Background
On March 20, 2017, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
CVD order on CTL plate from China.1
On December 1, 2021, Commerce
initiated the first sunset review of the
Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).2 On December 15 and 16, 2021,
Commerce received timely filed notices
of intent to participate from SSAB
Enterprises, LLC (SSAB), Nucor
Corporation (Nucor), and ClevelandCliffs Inc. (Cleveland Cliffs)
(collectively, the domestic interested
parties) within the deadline specified in
19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3 The domestic
interested parties claimed interested
party status under section 771(9)(C) of
the Act as producers of the domestic
like product.
On December 27, 2021, Commerce
received an adequate substantive
response to the Initiation Notice from
the domestic interested parties 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, including the
Government of China. On January 20,
2022, Commerce notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission 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
