    On July 12, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation of an administrative review with respect to Ningbo 
Eagle and Zhejiang KIN-SHINE, in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\3\ On July 13, 2023, Commerce

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to 
rescind an administrative review of a countervailing duty order where 
it concludes that there were no reviewable entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR for an exporter or producer.\7\ Normally, 
upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are 
liquidated at the countervailing duty assessment rate for the review 
period.\8\ 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 countervailing duty assessment rate 
for the review period.\9\ As noted above, there were no entries of 
subject merchandise from either Ningbo Eagle or Zhejiang KIN-SHINE 
during the POR. 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).

the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

appropriate entries. Countervailing duties 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 
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 rescission notice in the Federal Register.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 
destruction of the APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective
