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.10 Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate calculated for the review period.11 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.12 As noted above, there were no entries of subject merchandise for the companies 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). 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 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. 8 See Acciona’s Letter, ‘‘No Shipment Certification,’’ dated November 17, 2023. 9 See Memorandum, ‘‘Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,’’ dated December 7, 2023. 10 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: Recission of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020–2021, 88 FR 4154 (January 24, 2023). 11 See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 12 See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties 
raised, and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum, is attached as an appendix to this notice. The Issues and 
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically 
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly 
at https://access.trade/gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties, we made certain adjustments to the margin 
calculations for these final results, as detailed in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum.

Final Results of Review

    As a result of this administrative review, Commerce determines that 
the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period 
August 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sahamitr Pressure Container Plc............................        2.17
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed to 
interested parties for these final results within five days of the date 
of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.213, and 19 
CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with these final results 
of review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where the respondent 
reported the entered value of its U.S. sales, we calculated importer-
specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the 
total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total 
entered value of the sales for which entered value was reported. Where 
the respondent did not report entered value, we calculated a per-unit 
assessment rate for each importer by dividing the total amount of 
dumping calculated for the examined sales made to that importer by the 
total quantity associated with those sales. To determine whether an 
importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate is de minimis, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also calculated an importer-
specific ad valorem ratio based on estimated entered values. Where the 
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis 
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific 
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
    Commerce's ``reseller policy'' will apply to entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR produced by SMPC for which the reviewed 
company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary 
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the 
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the 
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this 
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the 
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will 
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties 
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 
90 days of publication). The final results of this administrative 
review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on 
entries of merchandise under review and for future cash deposits of 
estimated antidumping duties, where applicable.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping 
duties will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate 
for SMPC will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin that is 
established in the final results of this review (except if that rate is 
de minimis, in which situation the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) 
for merchandise exported by a company not covered in this review but 
covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in 
the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter 
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original 
investigation but the producer has been covered in a prior complete 
segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will be the company-
specific rate established in the completed segment for the most recent
