SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 1, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD
order on stainless steel flanges from India, covering the period
January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023.\1\ Commerce received a
timely request for review of the Order from CD Industries (Prop. Kisaan
Engineering Works Pvt. Ltd.)(CD Industries), Jai Auto Pvt. Ltd. (Jai
Auto), and R. N. Gupta & Company Limited (RNG).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review and Joint Annual Inquiry Service List, 89 FR 79894 (October
1, 2024); see also Stainless Steel Flanges from India:
Countervailing Duty Order, 83 FR 50336 (October 5, 2018) (Order).
\2\ See CD Industries' Letter, ``Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated October 31, 2024; Jai Auto's Letter, ``Request for
Countervailing Duty Administrative Review of Jai Auto Pvt. Ltd for
the period of January 01, 2023 to December 31, 2023,'' dated October
29, 2024; and RNG's Letter, ``Request for Countervailing Duty
Administrative Review of R. N. Gupta & Company Limited for the
period of January 01, 2023 to December 31, 2023,'' dated October 29,
2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 14, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of an administrative review with respect to these
three companies, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).\3\ On November 21, 2024, Commerce released
a memorandum indicating that there were no reviewable entries of
subject merchandise during the POR based on a U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) entry data query and notified all interested parties
of its intent to rescind the review in full.\4\ Commerce provided
parties an opportunity to submit comments on the data query results.\5\
No party submitted comments to Commerce. On February 11, 2025, Jai Auto
withdrew its request for an administrative review.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 89 FR 89955 (November 14, 2024).
\4\ See Memorandum, ``U.S. Customs and Border Protect Data Query
Release and Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,'' dated November 21,
2024.
\5\ Id.
\6\ See Jai Auto's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for
Countervailing Duty Administrative Review for the period of 1st
January, 2023 to 31st December, 2023,'' dated February 11, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if all parties who
requested a review withdraw their requests within 90 days of the date
that the notice of initiation of the requested review was published in
the Federal Register. Because Jai Auto timely withdrew its request for
review of itself and no other parties requested a review of Jai Auto,
Commerce is rescinding this administrative review with respect to Jai
Auto.
Moreover, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's
practice to rescind an administrative review of a CVD order where
Commerce concludes that there were no reviewable entries of subject
merchandise during the POR.\7\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the CVD
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 CVD assessment rate for the review period.\9\ As noted
above, CBP data showed that there were no entries of subject
merchandise from India during the POR for the remaining companies under
review, i.e., CD Industries and RNG. 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).

\9\ See 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.
[[Page 16868]]
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
to the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 18 CFR 351.21.(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 (APO)
This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an 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
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: April 9, 2025.
