SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 1, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD
order on PC strand from Ukraine.\1\ On June 30, 2023, Insteel Wire
Products Company, Sumiden Wire Products Corporation, and Wire Mesh
Corporation (collectively, the petitioners) 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 35835 (June 1,
2023).
\2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Petitioners' Request for
Initiation of Second Administrative Review,'' dated June 30, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 3, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of administrative review with respect to imports
of PC strand exported and/or produced by PJSC Stalkanat, 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 August 7, 2023, PJSC Stalkanat filed
a no shipments certification for the POR.\4\ On August 17, 2023, we
placed on the record U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for
entries of PC strand from Ukraine during the POR, and invited
interested parties to comment.\5\ On August 24, 2023, PJSC Stalkanat
submitted comments on the CBP data. No interested party submitted
rebuttal comments to Commerce.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 51271 (August 3, 2023).
\4\ See PJSC Stalkanat's Letter, ``No Shipments Certification,''
dated August 7, 2023.
\5\ See Memorandum, ``U.S. Customs and Border Protection Query
and Comment Period Deadline,'' dated August 17, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 21, 2023, Commerce notified all interested parties of
its intent to rescind the instant review, in whole, because there were
no eligible reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise by
PJSC Stalkanat during the POR and invited interested parties to
comment.\6\ PJSC Stalkanat submitted comments in favor of recission.\7\
No other interested party submitted comments to Commerce.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,''
dated September 21, 2023.
\7\ See PJSC Stalkanat's Letter, ``Comments on Recission,''
dated September 22, 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.\8\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD
assessment rate calculated for the review period.\9\ 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.\10\ As
noted above, there were no eligible reviewable entries of subject
merchandise for PJSC Stalkanat during the POR. Accordingly, in the
absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise eligible for review
during the POR, we are hereby rescinding this administrative review, in
its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See, e.g., Dioctyl Terephthalate from the Republic of Korea:
Rescission of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2021-2022, 88 FR
24758 (April 24, 2023); see also Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-
to Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Recission of
Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 88 FR 4157 (January
24, 2023).
\9\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\10\ See 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.
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 27, 2023.
