SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 8, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD
order on chassis from China.\1\ On July 1, 2024, Commerce published in
the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the Order.\2\ On July 31, 2024, Commerce
received a timely request from domestic producers of subject
merchandise, the Coalition of American Chassis Manufacturers
(Coalition), in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), to conduct an
administrative review of the Order of the following exporters: (1) CIMC
Vehicles (Group) Co., Ltd.; (2) Dongguan CIMC Vehicles Co., Ltd. (CIMC
Vehicles); (3) Qingdao CIMC Special Vehicles Co., Ltd; and (4)
SinoTrailers.\3\

Review,'' dated July 31, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 14, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of administrative review with respect to imports
of chassis exported by the above Chinese exporters, in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19
CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).\4\ On August 22, 2024, we placed on the record
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for entries of chassis
from China during the POR, showing no reviewable POR entries, and
invited interested parties to comment.\5\ On August 29, 2024, CIMC
Vehicles submitted comments requesting Commerce rescind the
administrative review.\6\

Administrative Reviews, 89 FR 66035 (August 14, 2024) (Initiation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 19, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of
its intent to rescind the instant review in
[[Page 8009]]
full because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject
merchandise by any of the four companies listed in the Initiation
Notice during the POR and invited comments from interested parties.\7\
No interested party submitted comments to Commerce in response to this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,''
dated September 19, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this
administrative proceeding by 90 days.\8\ The deadline for the
preliminary results is now July 1, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated December 9, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.\9\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD
assessment rate calculated 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 AD
assessment rate calculated for the review period.\11\ As noted above,
there were no entries of subject merchandise for the four companies
listed in the Initiation Notice 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).

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.

APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary
