(collectively, the petitioners),2 and
separately, Repwire LLC (Repwire).3
On February 4, 2020, in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice initiating an administrative
review of ICF Cable and Jin Tiong
Electrical Materials Manufacturer PTE.
Limited (Jin Tiong) (collectively, the
Companies Subject to the Review).4 On
February 10, 2021, we notified
interested parties that information from
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP)’s database, which is comprised of
actual U.S. entries of subject
merchandise, indicated that there were
no POR entries of aluminum wire and
cable from China that are subject to CVD
duties with respect to the Companies
Subject to the Review.5 We invited
interested parties to comment on the
CBP Entry Data.6 On February 18, 2021,
Encore submitted comments in response
to the CBP Entry Data, alleging that ICF
Cable exported Chinese-origin subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR, and requested that Commerce
select ICF Cable as a mandatory
respondent in the instant review.7
On March 26, 2021, we requested that
CBP confirm whether any shipments of
aluminum wire and cable from China,
produced and/or exported by ICF Cable
or Jin Tiong entered the United States
during the POR.8 On April 1, 2021, CBP
confirmed that there were no shipments
of subject merchandise produced and/or
exported by ICF Cable or Jin Tiong
during the POR.9 We invited interested
parties to comment on CBP’s
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES

Confirmation of No Shipments.10 On
April 19, 2021, Encore submitted timely
comments in response to CBP’s
Confirmation of No Shipments.11 In its
comments, Encore reiterated its claim
that ICF Cable made sales, shipments,
and/or exports of aluminum wire and
cable produced in China during the POR
without paying applicable cash
deposits, and requested that Commerce
issue a quantity and value questionnaire
to ICF Cable.12 Our analysis of the
record leads us to conclude that there
are no reviewable entries of aluminum
wire and cable from China during the
POR. For a full discussion of the
comments raised by Encore and our
analysis, see the Rescission
Memorandum.13
Rescission of Review
It is Commerce’s practice to rescind
an administrative review of a CVD
order, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3),
when there are no reviewable entries of
subject merchandise during the POR for
which liquidation is suspended.14
Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended
entries are liquidated at the CVD
assessment rate calculated for the
review period.15 Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted,
there must be a reviewable, suspended
entry that Commerce can instruct CBP
to liquidate at the CVD assessment rate
calculated for the review period.16
Accordingly, in the absence of
suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR for either
of the companies named in the
Initiation Notice, we are hereby
rescinding this administrative review in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Assessment Rates
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess
countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries. Because Commerce is
rescinding this review in its entirety, the
entries to which this administrative
review pertained shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated countervailing duties required

Background
On August 28, 1986, Commerce
published the antidumping duty order
on candles from China.1 On March 31,
2021, Commerce published the notice of
initiation of the five-year sunset review
of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).2 On April 2, 2021, Commerce
received a notice of intent to participate
in this sunset review from the National
Candle Association (the petitioner)
within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).3 The petitioner claimed
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act as the petitioner in
the less-than-fair-value investigation

2021, the petitioner provided a
complete substantive response for this
review within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).4
We received no substantive responses
from any other interested parties, nor
was a hearing requested. On May 21,
2021, Commerce notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission that it
did not receive an adequate substantive
response from respondent interested
parties.5 As a result, pursuant to section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of this Order.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the Order
include certain scented or unscented
petroleum wax candles made from
petroleum wax and having fiber or
paper-cored wicks. For a full
