On February 7, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of its intent to rescind the instant review 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.6 Commerce did not receive any comments. 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.7 Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the review period.8 Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the review period.9 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On December 7, 2023, Commerce published the preliminary results of the 2021 administrative review of the countervailing duty order on chlorinated isos from China.1 This review covers two companies, Heze Huayi Chemical Co., Ltd. (Heze Huayi) and Juancheng Kangtai Chemical Co., Ltd. We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.2 On March 27, 2024, we extended the deadline for these final results until June 4, 2024, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).3 For a complete description of the events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.4 Scope of the Order 5 The products covered by the Order are chlorinated isos from China. A full description of the scope of the Order is provided in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Analysis of Comments Received A list of the issues that parties raised, 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 arguments raised and a review of the record and all supporting documentation, we made certain changes to the Preliminary Results with respect to the subsidy rate calculation for the provision of land-use rights for less than adequate remuneration for the chemical industry program. For a discussion of the comments, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Methodology Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For each subsidy program found to be countervailable, Commerce finds that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution from a government or public entity that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.6 For a full description of the methodology underlying all of Commerce’s conclusions, including any determination that relied upon the use of adverse facts available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Company Not Selected for Individual Review We made no changes to the methodology for determining the rate assigned to Sincere Cooperation Material, the company not selected for individual examination, from the Preliminary Results.7 However, we revised this rate to reflect the changes to Heze Huayi’s rate.8 Final Results of Administrative Review In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), Commerce calculated the following net countervailable subsidy rates for the period January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021: Company 1 See Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the Countervailing Duty Administrative Review and Rescission of Review in Part; 2021, 88 FR 85214 (December 7, 2023) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM). 2 See Preliminary Results, 88 FR at 85216. 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Extension of Deadline for Final Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review,’’ dated March 27, 2024. 4 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the Countervailing Duty Administrative Review of Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the People’s Republic of China; 2021,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). 5 See Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 79 FR 67424 (November 13, 2014) (Order).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 20, 2010, Commerce published in the Federal Register 
the antidumping duty order on bricks from China.\1\ On September 28, 
2023, the Magnesia Carbon Bricks Fair Trade Committee (the petitioner) 
submitted a timely request that Commerce conduct an administrative 
review.\2\

    \1\ See Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks from Mexico and the 
People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Orders, 75 FR 57257 
(September 20, 2010) (Order).
    \2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated September 28, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 15, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation of administrative review with respect to imports 
of bricks 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\ This 
review covers subject merchandise exported by 42 exporters.\4\ On 
December 20, 2023, we placed on the record U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) data for entries of bricks from China during the POR, 
showing no reviewable POR entries and invited interested parties to 
comment.\5\ No party filed comments with respect to the CBP data.

    \5\ See Memorandum, ``Release of Customs and Border Protection 
Data Query,'' dated December 20, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 7, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of 
its intent to rescind the instant review 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.\6\ Commerce did not receive any comments.

dated February 7, 2024.

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.\7\ Normally, upon completion of an 
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the 
antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the review period.\8\ 
Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be 
a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to 
liquidate at the antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the 
review period.\9\ 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).
