Rescission of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 72995-72996 [2023-23444]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 24, 2023 / Notices ineligible to participate in this scope certification process, but indicated that they could request reconsideration of their exclusion from the certification process in a future segment of the proceeding.2 On June 26, 2023, based on a request filed by AM Stone,3 Commerce initiated a CCR to determine whether Universal Quartz is eligible to certify that its quartz surface products are not produced from Chinese-origin quartz slab.4 On July 26, 2023, AM Stone filed a timely request for administrative review for its exporter, Universal Quartz.5 On September 11, 2023, Commerce initiated AD and CVD administrative reviews of Universal Quartz, among other Malaysian exporters.6 Rescission of Review Commerce has recently determined that a CCR is not the appropriate segment to reconsider ineligible parties’ exclusion from a certification process, where that ineligibility was due to a party’s failure to cooperate in a prior segment of a proceeding.7 Commerce explained that an administrative review is the proper segment of a proceeding for a party deemed ineligible from participating in a certification process to request reconsideration of its eligibility to certify, absent evidence of a changed circumstance.8 In light of Solar Cells, Commerce has reevaluated AM Stone’s CCR request and determines that a party’s newfound willingness to participate is not a changed circumstance sufficient to warrant such a review. Additionally, as noted above, Commerce recently initiated AD and CVD administrative reviews of Universal Quartz, among other exporters.9 As a result, consistent with Solar Cells, Commerce will reevaluate the eligibility of Universal Quartz to participate in the certification process as part of these administrative reviews. Consequently, we are rescinding this CCR with respect to Universal Stone. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. Notification to Interested Parties This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping and/or countervailing duties on all appropriate 
entries during the PORs noted above for each of the listed 
administrative reviews at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated 
antidumping or countervailing duties, as applicable, required at the 
time of entry, or withdrawal of merchandise from warehouse, for 
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce 
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days 
after the date of publication of this recission notice in the Federal 
Register for rescinded administrative reviews of AD/CVD orders on 
countries other than Canada and Mexico. For rescinded administrative 
reviews of AD/CVD orders on Canada or Mexico, Commerce intends to issue 
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 41 days after the date

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of 
antidumping duties and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of 
the relevant entries during the review period. Failure to comply with 
this requirement could result in the presumption that reimbursement of 
antidumping duties and/or countervailing duties occurred and the 
subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties and/or 
countervailing duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern 
business proprietary information in these segments of these 
proceedings. Timely written notification of the return or destruction 
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an 
APO is a sanctionable violation.
