SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 6, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD
order on steel racks from China.\1\ Commerce received a timely request
for review of the order from the following exporters of subject
merchandise: (1) Jiangsu JISE Intelligent Storage Equipment Co., Ltd.
(Jiangsu JISE); (2) Jiangsu Nova Intelligent Logistics Equipment Co.,
Ltd (Jiangsu Nova); (3) Jiangsu Starshine Industry Equipment Co., Ltd.
(Starshine); (4) Nanjing Dongsheng Shelf Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
(Dongsheng); (5) Nanjing Ironstone Storage Equipment Co., Ltd. (Nanjing
Ironstone); (6) Ningbo Xinguang Rack Co., Ltd. (Xinguang Rack); and (7)
Xiamen Luckyroc Industry Co., Ltd. (Luckyroc).\2\ We received no other
requests for review. On November 15, 2023, Commerce published in the
Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review
with respect to Dongsheng, Jiangsu JISE, Jiangsu Nova, Luckyroc,
Nanjing Ironstone, Starshine, and Xinguang Rack, in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\3\ On
December 13, 2023, Commerce placed U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) entry data for U.S. imports of the subject merchandise during the
POR on the record for respondent selection purposes.\4\

On January 10, 2024, Commerce selected Dongsheng as the sole

[[Page 47527]]
subject merchandise for all companies under review.\5\ Between January
30, 2024, and February 13, 2024, Dongsheng, Luckyroc, and Xinguang Rack
timely withdrew their requests for administrative review.\6\ On March
18, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties that in the absence
of any suspended entries during the POR for Nanjing Ironstone, Jiangsu
JISE, Starshine, and Jiangsu Nova, which are the only remaining
companies subject to the instant administrative review, Commerce
intended to rescind this review.\7\ Commerce provided all parties an
opportunity to comment on CBP's findings.\8\ No parties submitted
comments.

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.\9\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the
suspended entries are liquidated at the CVD assessment rate for the
review period.\10\ 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.\11\ As noted above, CBP data showed that there were
no entries of subject merchandise during the POR with respect to
Jiangsu JISE, Jiangsu Nova, Nanjing Ironstone, and Starshine, the
companies remaining subject to this review. Accordingly, in the absence
of reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR
for any companies remaining under review and for which review requests
have not been withdrawn, 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

Cash Deposit Requirements
As Commerce has proceeded to a final rescission of this
administrative review, no cash deposit rates will change. Accordingly,
the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until
further notice.
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(a)(3), 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 Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: May 28, 2024.
