granular magnesium) from the People's Republic of China (China) would

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On February 1, 2023, Commerce published the notice of initiation of 
the sunset review of the AD order on pure granular magnesium from 
China,\1\ pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act).\2\ On February 9, 2023, Commerce received a notice 
of intent to participate from US Magnesium LLC (US Magnesium), a 
domestic interested party, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ US Magnesium claimed domestic interested party 
status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a manufacturer of 
domestic like product in the United States.\4\ On February 21, 2023, US 
Magnesium submitted a timely substantive response within the 30-day 
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\5\ Commerce did not 
receive a substantive response from any other interested parties with 
respect to the Order covered by this sunset review, nor was a hearing 
requested. On March 23, 2023, Commerce notified the U.S. International 
Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate substantive 
response from respondent interested parties.\6\ As a result, pursuant 
to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), 
Commerce is conducting an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the 
Order.
