SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 2, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice 
of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD order on 
LDWP from Greece.\1\ On May 30, 2023, the American Line Pipe Producers 
Association Trade Committee (the petitioner) submitted a timely request 
that Commerce conduct an administrative review.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 88 FR 27445 (May 2, 
2023).
    \2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated May 30, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 12, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation of administrative review with respect to imports 
of LDWP from Greece exported and/or produced by Corinth Pipeworks Pipe 
Industry S.A. (Corinth), 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 July 14, 2023, we placed on the record U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for entries

of LDWP from Greece during the POR, showing no reviewable POR entries 
and invited interested parties to comment.\4\

Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 44262 (July 12, 2023).
    \4\ See Memorandum, ``Release of Customs and Border Protection 
Data,'' dated July 14, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 21, 2023, the petitioner filed comments with respect to the 
CBP data.\5\ On July 24, 2023, Corinth submitted a no-shipment 
certification, indicating that it had no exports or sales of subject 
merchandise to the United States during the POR.\6\ On July 25, 2023, 
Commerce issued a no-shipment inquiry to CBP.\7\ On August 14, 2023, 
CBP responded that it had no record of any entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR.\8\ On October 20, 2023, the petitioner 
requested that Commerce conduct verification.\9\ On October 30, 2023, 
Corinth requested that Commerce rescind the administrative review.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Comments on U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection Entry Data,'' dated July 21, 2023 (Petitioner's 
CBP data Comments).

dated July 24, 2023.
    \7\ See CBP Message 3206404, ``No Shipment Inquiry,'' dated July

    \8\ See Memorandum, ``No Shipment Inquiry Results,'' dated

    \9\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Verification,'' dated 
October 20, 2023.
    \10\ See Corinth's Letter, ``Request for Rescission of 
Administrative Review,'' dated October 30, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 3, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of its 
intent to rescind the instant review in whole because there were no 
reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise by Corinth,\11\ 
the sole company subject to this review during the POR, and invited 
interested parties to comment.\12\ On January 10, 2024, Corinth 
submitted comments in support of Commerce's intent to rescind the 
instant review in whole.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Commerce does not consider non-CBP information to identify 
entries of subject merchandise because this information is generally 
not as reliable as information obtained from CBP. See Certain Frozen 
Fish Fillets from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final Results 
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; Final Determination of No 
Shipments; 2020-2021, 87 FR 55996 (September 13, 2022), and 
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at 5. Based on our 
examination of record evidence, we find that the information 
submitted in the petitioner's CBP Data Comments does not demonstrate 
that Corinth exported subject merchandise to the United States 
during the POR or otherwise undermine the results of the CBP data 
query or the certified statement by Corinth that it had no entries 
of subject merchandise during the POR.
    \12\ See Commerce's Letter, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind 
Review,'' dated January 3, 2023.
    \13\ See Corinth's Letter, ``Comments of Notice of Intent to 
Rescind Review,'' dated January 10, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.\14\ Normally, upon completion of an 
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD 
assessment rate calculated for the review period.\15\ Therefore, for an 
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, 
suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the AD 
assessment rate calculated for the review period.\16\ As noted above, 
there were no entries of subject merchandise for Corinth, the sole 
company subject to this review during the POR. Accordingly, in the 
absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we 
are hereby rescinding this administrative review, in its entirety, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See, e.g., Dioctyl Terephthalate from the Republic of 
Korea: Rescission of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2021-2022, 
88 FR 24758 (April 24, 2023); see also Certain Carbon and Alloy 
Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany:

    \15\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    \16\ See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates 
equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at

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.
