**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On June 1, 2020, Commerce published the CVD order on ceramic tile from China. [^1] On May 1, 2025, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset review of the *Order,* pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.218(c).
[^1]*See, Ceramic Tile From the People's Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order,* 85 FR 33119 (June 1, 2020) ( *Order* ).
On May 16, 2025, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this review from The Coalition for Fair Trade in Ceramic Tile (the Coalition or the domestic interested party), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). [^2] The domestic interested party claims that it has interested party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(E) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(vii) as a trade or business association, a majority of whose members manufacture, produce, or wholesale a domestic like product in the United States.

On June 2, 2025, Commerce received an adequate substantive response from the Coalition, within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).

On June 20, 2025, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.
