VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:13 Feb 16, 2023 Jkt 259001 Merchandise Subject to the Covered Merchandise Inquiry The products subject to this inquiry are refractory bricks which were imported by Fedmet Resources Corporation (Fedmet). CBP’s laboratories tested 11 samples from these bricks and provided the results of chemical composition tests for the merchandise in its referral to Commerce. 1 See Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from the People’s Republic of China: Notice of Covered Merchandise Referral and Initiation of Covered Merchandise Inquiry, 87 FR 43238 (July 20, 2022) (Initiation Notice); see also Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from Mexico and the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Orders,75 FR 57257 (September 20, 2010); and Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 75 FR 57442 (September 21, 2010) (collectively, Orders). 2 See Memorandum, ‘‘Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from the People’s Republic of China: Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of Covered Merchandise Inquiry—EAPA Inv. 7412,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Methodology Commerce is conducting this covered merchandise inquiry in accordance with section 517 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.227. For a full description of the methodology underlying Commerce’s preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Preliminary Findings We preliminarily determine, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.227(f), that certain bricks tested by CBP laboratories do not constitute (non-subject) MAC bricks and are subject to the scope of the Orders. Although we can make such a determination for two of the eleven brick samples, the information on the remaining nine samples is indeterminate regarding the proper scope classification for the underlying product tested by CBP. In reaching this preliminary determination, we relied on information placed on the record by the Magnesia Carbon Bricks Fair Trade Committee and Fedmet, as well as the documents included with the referral from CBP. For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Suspension of Liquidation As stated above, Commerce has made a preliminary affirmative finding that certain bricks tested by CBP, which were the subject of this referral from CBP, are subject to the scope of the Orders. This affirmative in-scope finding applies on a country-wide basis, regardless of the producer, exporter, or importer, to all products from the same country with the same relevant physical characteristics as the products at issue. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.227(l)(2), Commerce will direct CBP to: (1) continue the suspension of liquidation of previously suspended entries and apply the applicable cash deposit rate; (2) begin the suspension of liquidation and require a cash deposit of estimated duties, at the applicable rate, for each unliquidated entry of the product not yet suspended, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after July 20, 2022, the date of publication of the notice of initiation of this covered merchandise inquiry in the Federal Register; and (3) begin the suspension of liquidation and require a cash deposit of estimated duties, at the applicable rate, for each unliquidated entry of the product not yet suspended, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption prior to July 20, 2022.3 3 See E:\FR\FM\17FEN1.SGM Initiation Notice. 17FEN1
