SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On February 2, 2023, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on wind towers
from China.1 On February 28, 2023, the
Wind Tower Trade Coalition (the
petitioner) submitted a timely request
that Commerce conduct an
administrative review.2
On April 11, 2023, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of an administrative
review with respect to imports of wind
towers exported and/or produced by 48
exporters and/or producers of wind
towers from China, 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 May 2, 2023, we
placed on the record U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) data for entries
of wind towers from China during the
POR, showing no reviewable POR
entries and invited interested parties to
comment.4 On May 9, 2023, the

petitioner submitted comments
requesting that Commerce review the
CBP data and confirm that all wind
towers potentially imported into the
United States from China were properly
reported to CBP.5
In response to the petitioner’s
comments, on June 15, 2023, we again
placed on the record CBP data for wind
towers from China during the POR,
showing no reviewable POR entries and
invited interested parties to comment.6
On June 23, 2023, the petitioner
submitted comments requesting that
Commerce coordinate with CBP to
confirm whether wind towers initially
shipped into the United States from
China were subsequently shipped to
Canada, or whether such shipments
were reexported into the United States.7
On September 5, 2023, Commerce
addressed the petitioner’s comments
and indicated that it would refer the
information gathered in this review to
CBP.8
On October 30, 2023, Commerce
extended the deadline for the
preliminary results of this review until
February 28, 2024.9 Additionally, on
December 8, 2023, 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 any of the companies
subject to this review during the POR
and invited interested parties to
comment.10 No 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
antidumping duty order when there are
no reviewable entries of subject
merchandise during the POR for which
liquidation is suspended.11 Normally,
upon completion of an administrative

review, the suspended entries are
liquidated at the antidumping duty
assessment rate calculated for the
review period.12 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
antidumping duty assessment rate
calculated for the review period.13 As
noted above, there were no entries of
subject merchandise for any of 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an
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 Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).
