SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 20, 2010, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the antidumping duty order on bricks from China.\1\ On September 28,
2023, the Magnesia Carbon Bricks Fair Trade Committee (the petitioner)
submitted a timely request that Commerce conduct an administrative
review.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from Mexico and the
People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR 57257
(September 20, 2010) (Order).
\2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated September 28, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 15, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of administrative review with respect to imports
of bricks from China 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\ This
review covers subject merchandise exported by 42 exporters.\4\ On
December 20, 2023, we placed on the record U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) data for entries of bricks from China during the POR,
showing no reviewable POR entries and invited interested parties to
comment.\5\ No party filed comments with respect to the CBP data.

Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 78298 (November 15, 2023).
\4\ Id.
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Release of Customs and Border Protection
Data Query,'' dated December 20, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On February 7, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of
its intent to rescind the instant review 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.\6\ Commerce did not receive any comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,''
dated February 7, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of an antidumping duty order when
there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR
for which liquidation is suspended.\7\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the
antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the review period.\8\
Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be
a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to
liquidate at the antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the
review period.\9\ As noted above, there were no entries of subject
merchandise for 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).

to-Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Recission of
Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 88 FR 4154 (January

\8\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\9\ 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
[[Page 49149]]
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption in the United States, 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
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: May 29, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
