**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On December 10, 2012, and February 5, 2013, Commerce published the AD orders on hangers from Taiwan and Vietnam, respectively. [^1] On April 3, 2023, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the five-year sunset review of the *Orders,* pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). [^2] On April 11, 2023, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this review from M&B Metal Products Company, Inc. (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 of a domestic like product in the United States. On April 13, 2023, the domestic interested party provided a complete substantive response for this review within the 30-day deadline 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 April 24, 2023, 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 to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the *Orders.*
