Subsequently, on April 22, 2024, Commerce issued a memorandum 12 correcting an error in its Intent to Rescind Memorandum in which it incorrectly stated that it intended to rescind the review in full when it intended to rescind the review in part, with respect to five of the six companies listed in the Initiation Notice.

PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 35793 Scope of the Order Imports covered by the Order are shipments of tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished, from China; flange, take up cartridge, and hanger units incorporating tapered roller bearings; and tapered roller housings (except pillow blocks) incorporating tapered rollers, with or without spindles, whether or not for automotive use. These products are currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers 8482.20.00, 8482.91.00.50, 8482.99.15, 8482.99.45, 8483.20.40, 8483.20.80, 8483.30.80, 8483.90.20, 8483.90.30, 8483.90.80, 8708.700.6060, 8708.99.2300, 8708.99.27, 8708.99.4100, 8708.99.4850, 8708.99.6890, 8708.99.8115, and 8708.99.8180. Although the HTSUS item numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the Order is dispositive. Rescission of Review, In Part 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 suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR.13 Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate calculated for the review period.14 Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the AD assessment rate calculated for the review period.15 As noted above, there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise for five exporters subject to the review, C&U Group Shanghai Bearing Co., Ltd., Hangzhou C&U Automotive Bearing Co., Ltd., Hangzhou C&U Metallurgy Bearing Co., Ltd., Huangshi C&U Bearing Co., Ltd., and Sichuan C&U Bearing Co., Ltd. during the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR for these companies for which this review was initiated, we are hereby rescinding this administrative review, in part, with respect to these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). 13 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 4157 (January 24, 2023). 14 See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 15 See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). E:\FR\FM\02MYN1.SGM 02MYN1 35794 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 86 / Thursday, May 2, 2024 / Notices Preliminary Determination of No Shipments Tanai, an exporter that received a separate rate in a previous segment of the proceeding and is subject to this review, reported that it had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. We requested that CBP report any contrary information. CBP reported that an entry was made under the CBP 10-digit case number for Tainai, i.e., the importer of record entered the shipment pursuant to Tainai’s cash deposit requirement, but the information for the suspended entry identifies a different manufacturer and exporter for that merchandise.16 Therefore, based on our analysis of information from CBP and the certification provided by Tainai, we preliminarily determine that Tanai made no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Further, consistent with Commerce’s practice, we find that it is not appropriate to rescind the review with respect to Tanai, but rather to complete the review and issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP based on the final results of review.17 Assessment khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES For the companies for which this review is being rescinded, in part, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate for 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). With respect to the recission of this review, in part, Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. When Commerce determines that an exporter under review made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, upon issuing the final results, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate any suspended entries of subject merchandise that entered under that exporter’s cash deposit requirement, i.e., under the exporter’s CBP case number, during the POR at the 16 See Memorandum, ‘‘No Shipment Inquiry for Shanghai Tainai Bearings Co., Ltd. (A–570–601) during the period 06/01/2022 through 05/31/2023,’’ dated October 18, 2023. 17 See, e.g., Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2018– 2019, 84 FR 71900 (December 30, 2019).

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). Cash Deposit Rates As a result of this administrative review, Commerce does not intend to revise the cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping duties for entries subject to the Order.

Rescission of Review, In Part

    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 
suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR.\13\ Normally, 
upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are 
liquidated at the AD assessment rate calculated for the review 
period.\14\ Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, 
there must be a suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to 
liquidate at the AD assessment rate calculated for the review 
period.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 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 
4157 (January 24, 2023).
    \14\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    \15\ See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted above, there were no suspended entries of subject 
merchandise for five exporters subject to the review, C&U Group 
Shanghai Bearing Co., Ltd., Hangzhou C&U Automotive Bearing Co., Ltd., 
Hangzhou C&U Metallurgy Bearing Co., Ltd., Huangshi C&U Bearing Co., 
Ltd., and Sichuan C&U Bearing Co., Ltd. during the POR. Accordingly, in 
the absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR 
for these companies for which this review was initiated, we are hereby 
rescinding this administrative review, in part, with respect to these 
companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    Tanai, an exporter that received a separate rate in a previous 
segment of the proceeding and is subject to this review, reported that 
it had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. We requested 
that CBP report any contrary information. CBP reported that an entry 
was made under the CBP 10-digit case number for Tainai, i.e., the 
importer of record entered the shipment pursuant to Tainai's cash 
deposit requirement, but the information for the suspended entry 
identifies a different manufacturer and exporter for that 
merchandise.\16\ Therefore, based on our analysis of information from 
CBP and the certification provided by Tainai, we preliminarily 
determine that Tanai made no shipments of subject merchandise to the 
United States during the POR. Further, consistent with Commerce's 
practice, we find that it is not appropriate to rescind the review with 
respect to Tanai, but rather to complete the review and issue 
appropriate assessment instructions to CBP based on the final results 
of review.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Memorandum, ``No Shipment Inquiry for Shanghai Tainai 
Bearings Co., Ltd. (A-570-601) during the period 06/01/2022 through 
05/31/2023,'' dated October 18, 2023.
    \17\ See, e.g., Certain Steel Threaded Rod from the People's 
Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 
2018-2019, 84 FR 71900 (December 30, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    For the companies for which this review is being rescinded, in 
part, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates 
equal to the cash deposit rate for 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). With respect 
to the recission of this review, in part, Commerce intends to issue 
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date 
of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
    When Commerce determines that an exporter under review made no 
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, upon issuing the final 
results, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate any suspended entries 
of subject merchandise that entered under that exporter's cash deposit 
requirement, i.e., under the exporter's CBP case number, during the POR 
at the weighted-average dumping margin for the China-wide entity.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Non-Market 
Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to Tainai, 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).

Cash Deposit Rates

    As a result of this administrative review, Commerce does not intend 
to revise the cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping 
duties for entries subject to the Order.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
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 violation subject 
to sanction.

    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) and 
351.221(b)(4).
