On July 5, 2024, Commerce initiated an administrative review of the
AD order on CTL Plate from France covering the POR, 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 July 12, 2024, we placed U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) data on the record for entries of CTL Plate
from France during the POR.\5\ On August 26, 2024, Dillinger France
reported that it did not have any reviewable entries of subject
merchandise during the POR.\6\ On September 4, 2024, we requested that
Dillinger France provide additional information regarding its claims,
which it timely provided on September 10, 2024.\7\ On October 30, 2024,
we placed on the record CBP entry summary documentation which confirms
that Dillinger France did not have any reviewable entries of subject
merchandise during the POR.\8\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 9890]]
On January 10, 2025, Commerce notified all interested parties of
its intent to rescind the instant review because there were no
suspended entries of subject merchandise by Dillinger France during the
POR, and we invited interested partes to comment.\9\ We did not receive
any comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,''
dated January 10, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which liquidation is
suspended.\10\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative review,
the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate
calculated for the review period.\11\ Therefore, for an administrative
review to be conducted, there must be a suspended entry that Commerce
can instruct CBP to liquidate at the AD assessment rate calculated for
the review period.\12\ As noted above, there were no suspended entries
of subject merchandise for the company 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Korea: Rescission of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2021-2022,

Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany:

\11\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\12\ 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 rate 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
appropriate 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 (APO)

of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of

subject to sanction.
