SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 3, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the initiation of the third sunset reviews of antidumping duty orders on raw flexible magnets from China and Taiwan pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).[1]
On June 14, 2024, we received a timely notice of intent to participate in these sunset reviews from Magnum Magnetics Corporation (Magnum), a domestic interested party, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[2] Magnum 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 June 28, 2024, Magnum provided complete substantive responses for these reviews within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.2218(d)(3)(i).[3] Commerce did not receive substantive responses from any respondent parties, and no party requested a hearing.
On July 23, 2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from other interested parties.[4] As a result, in accordance with section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce conducted expedited, i.e., 120-day, sunset reviews of the Orders. On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days.[5] The deadline for these final results is now October 8, 2024.
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by the Orders are are certain flexible magnets regardless of shape, color, or packaging. For a full description of the scope of the Orders, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[6]

A complete discussion of all issues raised in this sunset review, including the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the dumping margin likely to prevail if the Order were to be revoked, is provided in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.[7] A list of topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included as the appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).

Final Results of Sunset Reviews
Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce determines that revocation of the Orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and that the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail would be margins up to 185.28 percent for China and up to 38.03 percent for Taiwan.
