On January 6, 2023, Commerce
extended the deadline for these
preliminary results to May 31, 2023.5
For a complete description of the events
that followed the initiation of this
administrative review, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.6
China-Wide Entity
Commerce’s policy regarding the
conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative
review.8 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or
Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a
review of the China-wide entity in this
review, the entity is not under review,
and the entity’s assessment rate (i.e.,
156.87) is not subject to change.9
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. The
