SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 2, 2023, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the AD and CVD orders on certain
vertical shaft engines between 225CC and 999CC, and parts thereof from
China.\1\ On March 31, 2023, Commerce received timely-filed requests
from Briggs & Stratton LLC (the petitioner) and Kohler Co. (Kohler), a
domestic producer of large vertical shaft engines, for administrative
review of the AD and CVD orders for 14 Chinese large vertical shaft
engine producers and/or exporters, in accordance with section 751(a) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b).\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 13091, 13093
(March 2, 2023).
\2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated March 31, 2023 and Kohler's Letter, ``Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated March 31, 2023 (AD); Petitioner's
Letter, ``Request for Administrative Review,'' dated March 31, 2023
and Kohler's Letter, ``Request for Administrative Review,'' dated
March 31, 2023 (CVD).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On May 9, 2023, pursuant to these requests, and in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce
published a notice initiating administrative reviews of the AD and CVD
orders on large vertical shaft engines from China for 14 Chinese
producers and/or exporters.\3\ On October 7, 2023, the petitioner and
Kohler timely withdrew their requests for administrative reviews of all
companies.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 29881 (May 9, 2023).
\4\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated August 7, 2023; see also Kohler's
Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated
August 7, 2023; Petitioner's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated August 7, 2023; and Kohler's Letter,
``Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated August 7,
2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party or parties
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the
publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review.
The petitioner and Kohler withdrew their requests for reviews within
the 90-day deadline. Because Commerce received no other requests for
review, we are rescinding the administrative reviews of the AD and CVD
orders on large vertical shaft engines from China covering the PORs of
March 1, 2023, through February 28, 2023, and January 1, 2022, through
December 31, 2022, respectively, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping and countervailing duties on all appropriate entries
of large vertical shaft engines from China during the periods of review
noted above. Antidumping and countervailing duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping or
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 appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the
amount of the countervailing duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to all 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(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return/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 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)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: November 14, 2023.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
