Accordingly, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the entries at issue without regard to antidumping duties. Assessment Rates In accordance with the Final Modification,3 the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate entries for AMTP without regard to antidumping duties. Because we found that CNRL did not sell subject merchandise to an unaffiliated customer in the United States, or to unaffiliated customers for exportation to the United States, but exported all the subject merchandise back to CNRL in Canada, we will instruct CBP to liquidate its entries covered by this review without regard to antidumping duties. The Department clarified its ‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by AMTP for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this clarification, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this review.

DATES: Effective October 23, 2013.

Memorandum for Preliminary Results for the Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Review: Kitchen Appliance Shelving and Racks from the 
People's Republic of China,'' dated concurrently with this notice 
(Preliminary Decision Memorandum), which is hereby adopted by this 
notice.
    The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on 
file electronically via Import Administration's Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS). 
IA ACCESS is available to registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov

Partial Rescission of the Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this 
administrative review with respect to Weixi because the review request 
was timely withdrawn.

Methodology

    The Department has conducted this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each 
of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we preliminarily 
determine that there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 
financial contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 
and that the subsidy is specific.\1\ In making these findings, we have 
relied, in part, on facts available and, because one or more 
respondents did not act to the best of their ability to respond to the 
Department's requests for information, we have drawn an adverse 
inference in selecting from among the facts otherwise available.\2\ 
Finally, we were not able to make a preliminary determination of 
countervailability for one program because we require further 
information.\3\ We intend to seek that information and address the 
program in a post-preliminary analysis prior to our final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding 
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding 
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity. For a 
full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
    \2\ See sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. For further 
discussion, see Preliminary Decision Memorandum at ``Use of Facts 
Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences.''
    \3\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at ``Programs for Which 
More Information is Required.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Results of the Review

    As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine a net 
subsidy rate of 8.52 percent for NKS for the period January 1, 2011, 
through December 31, 2011.

Assessment Rates

    For Weixi, countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal 
to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the 
time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during 
the period January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue 
appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) 15 days after publication of this notice. For NKS, we 
intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the 
final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Instructions

    The Department also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 
deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amount shown above 
for NKS. For all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to continue 
to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the most 
recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company. 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

Disclosure and Public Comment

    The Department will disclose to parties to this proceeding the 
calculations performed in reaching the preliminary results within five 
days of the date of publication of these preliminary results.\4\ Due to 
the Department's intention to release a post-preliminary analysis
