SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Background
On August 1, 2014, the Department initiated a sunset review of the
CVD Order \1\ on kitchen racks from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ On August 18, 2014,
the Department received a notice of intent to participate in the review
on behalf of Nashville Wire Products, Inc. (Nashville Wire) and SSW
Holding Company, Inc. (SSW) (collectively, the domestic industry)
within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). Each of these
companies claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of
the Act, as domestic producers of the domestic like product.

People's Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 74 FR 46973
(September 14, 2009) (CVD Order).

(August 1, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department received adequate substantive responses collectively
from the domestic industry within the 30-day deadline specified in 19
CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did not receive a substantive
response from the Government of the PRC or any respondent interested
party to the
[[Page 73030]]
proceeding. Because the Department received no response from the
respondent interested parties, the Department conducted an expedited
review of this CVD order, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(l)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order is certain kitchen appliance
shelving and racks from the People's Republic of China. The product is
