Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 3, 2008 / Notices Intent To Rescind Administrative Review DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Pursuant to 19 CFR § 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind an administrative review if it concludes that during the POR there were no entries, exports, or sales of the subject merchandise. The Department’s practice, supported by substantial precedent, requires that there be entries during the POR upon which to assess antidumping duties. See, e.g., Stainless Steel Bar from Italy: Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of Administrative Review, 70 FR 17656 (April 7, 2005) affirmed in Stainless Steel Bar from Italy: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Rescission of Review, 70 FR 46480 (August 10, 2005). Both CSN and CST certified that they had no entries of subject merchandise during the 2007–2008 POR, which the Department confirmed on the basis of official data from CBP. Therefore, we have preliminarily determined to rescind the 2007–2008 administrative review.
