Duty Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that revocation of the 
antidumping duty (AD) order on steel wire garment hangers (steel 
hangers) from the People's Republic of China (China) would be likely to 
lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated 
in the ``Final Results of Sunset Review'' section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 6, 2008, Commerce published the AD Order on steel 
hangers from China.\1\ On July 1, 2024, Commerce published the notice 
of initiation of the five-year sunset review of the Order, pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On 
July 10, 2024, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in 
this review from M&B Metal Products Company, Inc. (the domestic 
interested party) within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(i).\3\ The domestic interested party claimed interested 
party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a manufacturer, 
producer, or wholesaler of a domestic like product in the United 
States.

specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\4\ We received no substantive 
responses from any other interested parties, nor was a hearing 
requested. On August 21, 2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International 
Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an adequate substantive 
response from respondent interested parties.\5\ As a result, pursuant

Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of this Order.

administrative proceeding by seven days.\6\ The deadline for the final 
results is now November 5, 2024.

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act,
