Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 160 / Monday, August 19, 2024 / Notices
On May 30, 2024, the domestic
interested party filed adequate
substantive responses within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i).5 Commerce did not
receive a substantive response from any
respondent interested party. As a result,
pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2),
Commerce conducted expedited (120day) sunset reviews of the Orders. On
July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain
deadlines in these administrative
proceedings by seven days.6 The
deadline for the final results of the
sunset reviews is now September 5,
2024.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by these
Orders is silicomanganese from India,
Kazakhstan, and Venezuela,
respectively. For a complete description
of the scope of the Orders, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.7
Analysis of Comments Received
A complete discussion of all issues
raised in these sunset reviews,
including the likelihood of continuation
or recurrence of dumping in the event
of revocation of the Orders and the
magnitude of the margins of dumping
likely to prevail if the Orders were to be
revoked, is provided in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.8 A list of the
topics discussed 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 Services System
(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete

Memorandum can be accessed directly

percent for India, 247.88 percent for
Kazakhstan, and 24.62 percent for
Venezuela.

Partial Rescission of Administrative
Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party that requested a review
withdraws its request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation. The requests for an
administrative review of the companies
identified in Appendix III were timely
withdrawn within 90 days of the
publication of the initiation notice for
this review.4 As a result, Commerce is
rescinding this review with respect to
the companies in Appendix III in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).5
Additionally, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3), Commerce will rescind
an administrative review when there are
no entries of subject merchandise
during the POR for which liquidation is
suspended. Normally, upon completion
of an administrative review, the
suspended entries are liquidated at the
antidumping duty assessment rate
calculated for the review period.6
Therefore, for an administrative review
of a company to be conducted, there
must be a suspended entry that
Commerce can instruct and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
liquidate at the antidumping duty
assessment rate calculated for the POR.7

In the Preliminary Results, we notified
parties of our intent to rescind this
administrative review, in part, with
respect to Smartlam LLC because there
were no suspended entries of subject

these companies during the POR and
invited interested parties to comment.
No parties commented on our intent to
rescind the review, in part. In the
absence of any suspended entries of
subject merchandise from Smartlam
LLC during the POR, or any comment
on this issue, we are rescinding the
administrative review for Smartlam
LLC, in accordance with 19 CFR
