SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 3, 2022, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD
order on sulfanilic acid from India.\1\ On March 30, 2022, the
Government of India (GOI) timely requested that Commerce conduct an
administrative review of the CVD order on sulfanilic acid from India
covering the period of review (POR) January 1, 2021, through December
31, 2021, without naming specific producers or exporters.\2\ We
received no other requests for review. On May 13, 2022, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an
administrative review with respect to all producers and exporters of
sulfanilic acid from India, in accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\3\ On May 18, 2022, Commerce
notified all interested parties that we requested U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) entry data for all producer/exporters of
sulfanilic acid from India during the POR, and that the results of the
query indicated that there were no reviewable entries from producers/
exporters from India during the POR.\4\ In the CBP Entry Memorandum, we
also stated that, because there were no reviewable entries, we were
notifying interested parties of our intent to rescind the review in
full, and we provided all parties an opportunity to comment on the CBP
data and our intent to rescind.\5\ No party submitted comments.

Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of a CVD order where it concludes that
there were no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the
POR.\6\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the
suspended entries are liquidated at the CVD assessment rate for the
review period.\7\ Therefore, for an administrative review to be
conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce
can instruct CBP to liquidate at the calculated CVD assessment rate for
the review period.\8\ As noted above, there were no entries of subject
merchandise during the POR from producers/exporters from India during
the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of reviewable, suspended entries
of subject merchandise during the POR, we are rescinding this
administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).

Final Results and Final Rescission, in Part, of the Countervailing
Duty Administrative Review, 2020, 87 FR 48455 (August 9, 2022).
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2).
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Assessment
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries. Because Commerce is rescinding this review in its
entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained
shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated
countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of this rescission notice in
the Federal Register.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of
the APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with regulations and terms of an APO is a
violation, which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
