On September 3, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated the first sunset review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on refillable stainless-steel kegs (kegs) from Mexico and the AD and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on kegs from the People's Republic of China (China). Because no domestic interested party responded to the sunset review notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, consistent with section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce is revoking the AD orders on kegs from China and Mexico and the CVD order on kegs from China.

NMFS announces its intent to conduct a 5-year review of the endangered sawback angelshark (Squatina aculeata).
