If we make a final determination to revoke the Orders in part, then Commerce will apply this determination to each order as follows. Because we have completed administrative reviews of the Orders, the partial revocation will be retroactively applied to unliquidated entries of merchandise subject to the changed circumstances reviews that were entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after the day following the last day of the period covered by the most recently completed administrative review of the Orders, and which are not covered by automatic liquidation. The most recently completed administrative review of the AD order (A–570–010) was completed on June 14, 2019, and covered February 1, 2017 through January 31, 2018.18 Therefore, under this scenario, the partial revocation for merchandise subject to the AD order would be applied retroactively to unliquidated entries of merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after February 1, 2018. The most recently completed administrative review of the CVD order (C–570–011) was completed on October 23, 2019, and covered January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017.19 Therefore, the partial revocation for merchandise subject to the CVD order would be applied retroactively to unliquidated entries of merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after January 1, 2018, as applicable. jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES Public Comment Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results in accordance with 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii).

Final Results of the Changed Circumstances Reviews Commerce intends to issue the final results of these changed circumstances reviews no later than 270 days after the date on which these reviews were initiated. If, in the final results of these reviews, Commerce continues to determine that changed circumstances warrant the revocation of the Orders in part, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate without regard to AD or CVD duties, and to refund any estimated AD or CVD duties, on all unliquidated entries of the merchandise covered by the revocation that are not covered by the final results of completed administrative reviews or automatic liquidation. The current requirement for cash deposits of estimated AD and CVD duties on all entries of subject merchandise will continue unless they are modified pursuant to the final results of these changed circumstances reviews.
