SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 4, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD
order on magnesium metal from China.\1\ On April 25, 2023, US Magnesium
LLC (the petitioner) submitted a timely request that Commerce conduct
an administrative review.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative
Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 88 FR 19916 (April 4,
2023).
\2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated April 25, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 12, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of administrative review with respect to imports
of magnesium metal exported and/or produced by Tianjin Magnesium
International Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Magnesium Metal Co., Ltd, in
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).\3\ On July 18, 2023, we placed
on the record U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for entries
of magnesium metal from China during the POR, showing no reviewable POR
entries and invited interested parties to comment.\4\ No interested
party submitted comments to Commerce.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 38021 (June 12, 2023).
\4\ See Memorandum, ``Release of Customs and Border Protection
Data,'' dated July 18, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, on August 10, 2023, Commerce notified all interested
parties of its intent to rescind the instant review in whole because
there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise by
any of the companies subject to this review during the POR and invited
interested parties to comment.\5\ No interested party submitted
comments to Commerce.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Commerce's Letter, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind
Review,'' dated August 10, 2023
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there are no
reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which
liquidation is suspended.\6\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD
assessment rate calculated for the review period.\7\ Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted, there must be at least one
reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate
at the AD assessment rate calculated for the review period.\8\ As noted
above, there were no entries of subject merchandise for any of the
companies subject to this review during the POR. Accordingly, in the
absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we
are hereby rescinding this administrative review, in its entirety, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Assessment
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates
equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping 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 the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
