Analysis of Comments Received
Commerce addressed the issue raised in the case and rebuttal briefs
in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. This issue is identified in 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). ACCESS is available to registered users at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of an antidumping duty order where it
concludes there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise during
the POR for an exporter or producer. Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the
antidumping duty assessment rate(s) based on the final results for the
review period. Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted,
there must be a suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to liquidate at the calculated antidumping duty
assessment rate for the review period. As explained in detail in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum, there were no suspended entries of
subject merchandise from CSAC during the POR. Accordingly, in the
absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we
are rescinding this administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).
Cash Deposit Requirements
As Commerce is rescinding this administrative review, cash deposit
rates will not change. Accordingly, the current cash deposit
requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: April 26, 2023.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
