SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On June 1, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD 
order on PC strand from Ukraine.\1\ On June 30, 2023, Insteel Wire 
Products Company, Sumiden Wire Products Corporation, and Wire Mesh 
Corporation (collectively, the petitioners) submitted a timely request 
that Commerce conduct an administrative review.\2\

Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 88 FR 35835 (June 1, 
2023).
    \2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Petitioners' Request for 
Initiation of Second Administrative Review,'' dated June 30, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On August 3, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation of administrative review with respect to imports 
of PC strand exported and/or produced by PJSC Stalkanat, in accordance 
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).\3\ On August 7, 2023, PJSC Stalkanat filed 
a no shipments certification for the POR.\4\ On August 17, 2023, we 
placed on the record U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for 
entries of PC strand from Ukraine during the POR, and invited 
interested parties to comment.\5\ On August 24, 2023, PJSC Stalkanat 
submitted comments on the CBP data. No interested party submitted 
rebuttal comments to Commerce.

dated August 7, 2023.
    \5\ See Memorandum, ``U.S. Customs and Border Protection Query 
and Comment Period Deadline,'' dated August 17, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 21, 2023, Commerce notified all interested parties of 
its intent to rescind the instant review, in whole, because there were 
no eligible reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise by 
PJSC Stalkanat during the POR and invited interested parties to 
comment.\6\ PJSC Stalkanat submitted comments in favor of recission.\7\ 
No other interested party submitted comments to Commerce.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to 
rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there are no 
reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which 
liquidation is suspended.\8\ Normally, upon completion of an 
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD 
assessment rate calculated for the review period.\9\ Therefore, for an 
administrative review to be conducted, there must be at least one 
reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate 
at the AD assessment rate calculated for the review period.\10\ As 
noted above, there were no eligible reviewable entries of subject 
merchandise for PJSC Stalkanat during the POR. Accordingly, in the 
absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise eligible for review 
during the POR, we are hereby rescinding this administrative review, in 
its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
