**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On September 14, 2009, Commerce published the *Order* on kitchen racks from China. [^1] On August 1, 2025, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the third 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). [^2]
[^1]*See Certain Kitchen Appliance Shelving and Racks from the People's Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order,* 74 FR 46973 (September 14, 2009) ( *Order* ).
[^2]*See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews,* 90 FR 42388 (September 2, 2025).
On September 16, 2025, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this review from the Nashville Wire Products and SSW Advanced Technologies (collectively, the domestic interested parties), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). [^3] The domestic interested parties claim interested party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(vii) as manufacturers, producers, or wholesalers a domestic like product in the United States. [^4]

On October 2, 2025, Commerce received an adequate substantive response from the domestic interested parties, within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). [^5] Commerce did not receive a substantive response from either the Government of China or a respondent interested party to this proceeding. On December 8, 2025, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties. [^6] As a result, Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the *Order,* pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).

[^6]*See* Commerce's Letter, “Sunset Reviews Initiated on September 2, 2025,” dated December 8, 2025.
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days. [^7] Additionally, due to a backlog of documents that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an additional 21 days. [^8] Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now March 9, 2026.
