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.

program designed to assist U.S.
businesses and institutions of higher

need that support, promote, and
accelerate innovation in the United
States and is within NIST’s areas of
technical competence; and is too novel
or spans too diverse a range of
