SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 2, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice
of opportunity to request an administrative review of the
countervailing duty order on non-refillable cylinders from China,
covering the period January 1, 2023, though December 31, 2023.\1\ On
May 28, 2024, Sanjian Kai Yuan Co., Ltd. (SKY) timely requested that
Commerce conduct an administrative review.\2\ We received no other
requests for review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative
Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 89 FR 35778, 35780 (May
2, 2024).
\2\ See SKY's Letter, ``Request for Administrative Review,''
dated May 28, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 5, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of an administrative review with respect to SKY,
in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).\3\ On July 10, 2024, Commerce released a memorandum
indicating that there were no entries of subject merchandise during the
POR based on a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) entry data
query.\4\ Commerce provided parties an opportunity to submit comments
on the data query results.\5\ No party submitted comments to Commerce.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 8, 2024, Commerce issued a notice of intent to rescind
the 2023 administrative review and provided parties with an opportunity
to comment.\6\ No party submitted comments to Commerce.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind the 2023
Administrative Review,'' dated August 8, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of a countervailing duty order where
it concludes that there were no reviewable entries of subject
merchandise during the POR for an exporter or producer.\7\ Normally,
upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are
liquidated at the countervailing duty assessment rate 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 calculated countervailing duty assessment rate
for the review period.\9\ As noted above, there were no entries of
subject merchandise from SKY during the POR. 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).

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 Rates
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries. Countervailing duties 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an
administrative
[[Page 73064]]
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: September 3, 2024.
