SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 3, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order \1\ on bricks from China, covering the period
September 1, 2023, though August 31, 2024.\2\ On September 30, 2024,
the Magnesia Carbon Bricks Fair Trade Committee (the petitioner)
submitted a timely request that Commerce conduct an administrative
review.\3\

People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR 57257
(September 20, 2010).
\2\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 89 FR 71254 (September

\3\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated September 30, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On October 17, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of an 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).\4\ On November 19, 2024,
Commerce placed on the record U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
entry data for the companies subject to the review, showing no
reviewable POR entries, and invited interested parties to comment.\5\
No party filed comments with respect to the CBP data.

Administrative Reviews, 89 FR 83644, 83648 (October 17, 2024).
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Release of Entry Data from U.S. Customs
and Border Protection,'' dated November 19, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 8, 2025, Commerce issued a notice of intent to rescind the

Intent to Rescind.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,''
dated July 8, 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
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 AD
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 AD assessment rate for the review period.\9\ As noted above,
[[Page 41993]]
there were no entries of subject merchandise from 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See, e.g., Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length
Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Rescission of
Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 88 FR 4154 (January
24, 2023).
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\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.
Assessment Rates
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 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 a final reminder to parties subject to an
administrative 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: August 26, 2025.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
