SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is rescinding the administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) from the Republic of Turkey (Turkey), covering the period January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. DATES: Applicable October 8, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peter Shaw, AD/CVD Operations, Office VII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–0697. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On July 1, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD order on rebar from Turkey.1 On July 30, 2021, the Rebar Trade Coalition (the petitioner) timely requested that Commerce conduct an administrative review of Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi A.S (Habas).2 We received no other requests for review. On August 29, 2021, Habas notified Commerce that it had no sales, shipments, or entries of subject merchandise during the period of review (POR).3 On September 7, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review with respect to Habas, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).4 On September 15, 2021, Commerce issued a no-shipment inquiry to U.S. Customs and Border 1 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 86 FR 35065 (July 1, 2021). 2 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from the Republic of Turkey: Request for Administrative Review,’’ dated July 30, 2021. 3 See Habas’ Letter, ‘‘Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from Turkey; Habas No Shipment Letter,’’ dated August 29, 2021. 4 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 86 FR 50046, (September 7, 2021) (Initiation Notice). PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56247 Protection (CBP) to corroborate Habas’ claim.5 On September 23, 2021, Commerce notified all interested parties that CBP found no evidence of shipments of subject merchandise produced and exported by Habas during the POR.6 That same day, Commerce provided all parties an opportunity to comment on CBP’s findings.7 No parties submitted comments. Rescission of Review Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce’s practice to rescind an administrative review of a CVD order where it concludes that there were no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR.8 Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the CVD assessment rate for the review period.9 Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the calculated CVD assessment rate for the review period.10 As noted above, CBP confirmed that there were no entries of subject merchandise during the POR with respect to Habas, the only company subject to this review. Accordingly, in the absence of reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are rescinding this administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). Assessment 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 at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in 5 See Customs Instructions Message 1258402, dated September 15, 2021. 6 See Memorandum, ‘‘Steel concrete reinforcing bar from the Republic of Turkey (C–489–830): No shipment inquiry with respect to the companies below during the period 01/01/2020 through 12/31/ 2020,’’ dated September 23, 2021. 7 See Memorandum, ‘‘Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from the Republic of Turkey: Deadline for Comments on Results of No Shipment Inquiry,’’ dated September 23, 2021. 8 See, e.g., Certain Hardwood Plywood Products from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review and Rescission of Review, in Part; 2017– 2018, 84 FR 54844, 54845 and n.8 (October 11, 2019) (citing Lightweight Thermal Paper from the People’s Republic of China: Notice of Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2015, 82 FR 14349 (March 20, 2017)). 9 See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2). 10 See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
