FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peter Shaw, AD/CVD Operations, Office

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 3, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD
order on rebar from Turkey.\1\ On July 31, 2023, the Rebar Trade
Coalition (the petitioner) timely requested that Commerce conduct an
administrative review of Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal
Endustrisi A.S (Habas).\2\ We received no other requests for review. On
September 28, 2023, Commerce issued an intent to rescind memorandum
notifying interested parties that import data issued by the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) indicated that Habas did not have
reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which
liquidation is suspended.\3\ Accordingly, in the absence of reviewable,
suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, Commerce
intended to rescind this administrative review with respect to Habas.
Commerce provided all parties an opportunity to comment. No parties
submitted comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative
Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 88 FR 42693 (July 3,
2023).
\2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated July 31, 2023.
\3\ See Memorandum, ``Intent to Rescind Review,'' dated
September 28, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.\4\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the
suspended entries are liquidated at the CVD assessment rate for the
review period.\5\ 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.\6\ As noted above, CBP confirmed that there were no
entries of subject merchandise during the POR with respect to Habas,
the only company subject to this review. 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).

People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Countervailing
Duty Administrative Review and Rescission of Review, in Part; 2017-

Lightweight Thermal Paper from the People's Republic of China:
Notice of Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review;
2015, 82 FR 14349 (March 20, 2017)).
\5\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2).
\6\ 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 Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
