The petitioner did not comment on Ispat’s claim of no shipments. On February 7, 2011, we conducted an internal customs data query.2 We also issued a ‘‘no shipments inquiry’’ message to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which posted the message on February 16, 2011.3 The customs data query indicates that Ispat had no entries of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. We did not receive any information from CBP contrary to Ispat’s claim of no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Based on our analysis of the shipment data, we preliminarily determine that Ispat did not ship subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), and consistent with our practice,4 we preliminarily determine to rescind the review for Ispat.
