**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On July 21, 2014, Commerce published in the *Federal Register* the AD orders on WSSPP from Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. [^1] On November 1, 2024, the ITC instituted, [^2] and on November 4, 2024, Commerce initiated, [^3] the second sunset review of the *Orders,* pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a result of its reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the *Orders* would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, and therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail should the *Orders* be revoked.
