**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On March 1, 2022, Commerce initiated the second sunset review of the *Order,*[^1] pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). [^2] On March 15, 2022, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate, within the 15-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i), from the Aluminum Extrusions Fair Trade Committee and its constituent producers of aluminum extrusions (the petitioner). [^3] The petitioner claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(E) (covering trade and business associations) and individually under section 771(9)(C) (covering manufacturers, producers, and wholesalers) of the Act, respectively.

**Notification
Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO)**
[^8]*See Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination,* 76 FR 18521 (April 4, 2011) ( *Final Determination* ); *see also Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: Amended Final Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2013,* 80 FR 77325 (March 22, 2016) ( *Final Results 2013 Review* ). Kong Ah International Company Limited was included among the cross-owned companies comprising the Gyang Ya Group in the *Final Determination.* However, other members of the Gyang Ya Group were subsequently reviewed as mandatory respondents in the *Final Results 2013 Review,* while Kong Ah International Company Limited was not. Therefore, the rates for the additional programs found to be countervailable for the individually examined Guang Ya Group Companies in the *Final Results 2013 Review* are not the rates for Kong Ah International Company Limited. Rather, for additional programs found to be countervailable in the *Final Results 2013 Review,* we have used the average of the rates of the companies individually examined.
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
**Notification to Interested Parties**
We are issuing and publishing these final results and this notice in accordance with sections 751(c), 752(b), 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) and 351.221(c)(5)(ii).
