SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is rescinding the administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on steel concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) from the Republic of Türkiye (Türkiye), covering the period January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On July 1, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD order on rebar from Türkiye.1 On July 31, 2024, the Rebar Trade Coalition (the petitioner) timely requested that Commerce conduct an administrative review of Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi A.S (Habas).2 We received no other requests for review. On August 12, 2024, we received a no shipment certification from Habas.3 On August 14, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review with respect to Habas.4 On September 18, 2024, Commerce issued an intent to rescind memorandum notifying interested parties that import data issued by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) indicated that Habas did not have reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which liquidation is suspended.5 Accordingly, 1 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 89 FR 54437 (July 1, 2024). 2 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Request for Administrative Review,’’ dated July 31, 2024. 3 See Letter, ‘‘Habas no shipment letter,’’ dated August 12, 2024. 4 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 89 FR 66047 (August 14, 2024). 5 See Memorandum, ‘‘Intent to Rescind Review,’’ dated September 18, 2024.

Commerce provided all parties an opportunity to comment. No parties submitted comments. Rescission of Review Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce’s practice to rescind an administrative review of a CVD order where it concludes that there were no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR.6 Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the CVD assessment rate for the review period.7 Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the calculated CVD assessment rate for the review period.8 As noted above, CBP confirmed that there were no entries of subject merchandise during the POR with respect to Habas, the only company subject to this review. Accordingly, in the absence of reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are rescinding this administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). Cash Deposit Requirements As Commerce has proceeded to a final rescission of this administrative review, no cash deposit rates will change. Accordingly, the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice. Assessment Commerce will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. Because Commerce is rescinding this review in its entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing 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 6 See, e.g., Certain Hardwood Plywood Products from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review and Rescission of Review, in Part; 2017– 2018, 84 FR 54844, 54845 and n.8 (October 11, 2019) (citing Lightweight Thermal Paper from the People’s Republic of China: Notice of Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2015, 82 FR 14349 (March 20, 2017)). 7 See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2). 8 See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice. The Preliminary Results are hereby adopted in these final results. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Scope of the Order The products covered by this Order include all grades and granulation sizes of citric acid, sodium citrate, and potassium citrate in their unblended forms, whether dry or in solution, and regardless of packaging type. For a full description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Rate for Non-Selected Company The Act and Commerce’s regulations do not directly address the establishment of a rate to be applied to individual companies not selected for examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a market economy investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for companies which were not selected for individual review in an administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts available}.’’ In this administrative review, we calculated dumping margins of zero percent for both mandatory respondents: COFCO Biochemical 1 See Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts from Belgium, Colombia and Thailand: Antidumping Duty Orders, 83 FR 35214 (July 25, 2018) (Order). 2 See Citric Acid and Certain Citrate Salts from Thailand: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022–2023, 89 FR 62718 (August 1, 2024) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Thus, in accordance with the expected method, and consistent with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s decision in Albemarle,3 we assign to Xitrical Group Co. LTD., the sole non-selected company under review, a zero percent rate, based on the rates calculated for the two mandatory respondents. Final Results of Review We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023: Producer/exporter COFCO Biochemical (Thailand) Co., Ltd ................................... Sunshine Biotech International Co., Ltd ................................... Xitrical Group Co. LTD ............... WeightedAverage dumping margin (percent) 0.00 0.00 0.00 Disclosure Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations of the final results of an administrative review within five days of a public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because we have made no changes to the Preliminary Results, there are no calculations to disclose. Assessment Rates Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered this review. Because the respondents’ weightedaverage dumping margins or importerspecific assessment rates are zero or de minimis in the final results of review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties.4 The final results of this 3 See Albemarle Corp. v. United States, 821 F.3d 1345, 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (Albemarle) (holding that Commerce may only use ‘‘other reasonable methods’’ if it reasonably concludes that the expected method is ‘‘not feasible’’ or ‘‘would not be reasonably reflective of potential dumping margins’’). 4 See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102– E:\FR\FM\29NON1.SGM 29NON1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 1, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD 
order on rebar from T[uuml]rkiye.\1\ On July 31, 2024, the Rebar Trade 
Coalition (the petitioner) timely requested that Commerce conduct an 
administrative review of Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal 
Endustrisi A.S (Habas).\2\ We received no other requests for review. On 
August 12, 2024, we received a no shipment certification from Habas.\3\ 
On August 14, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice 
of initiation of an administrative review with respect to Habas.\4\ On 
September 18, 2024, Commerce issued an intent to rescind memorandum 
notifying interested parties that import data issued by the U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) indicated that Habas did not have 
reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which 
liquidation is suspended.\5\ Accordingly, in the absence of reviewable, 
suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, Commerce 
intended to rescind this administrative review with respect to Habas. 
Commerce provided all parties an opportunity to comment. No parties 
submitted comments.

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 89 FR 54437 (July 1, 
2024).
    \2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated July 31, 2024.
    \3\ See Letter, ``Habas no shipment letter,'' dated August 12, 
2024.
    \4\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

September 18, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to 
rescind an administrative review of a CVD order where it concludes that 
there were no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the 
POR.\6\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the 
suspended entries are liquidated at the CVD assessment rate for the 
review period.\7\ Therefore, for an administrative review to be 
conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce 
can instruct CBP to liquidate at the calculated CVD assessment rate for 
the review period.\8\ As noted above, CBP confirmed that there were no 
entries of subject merchandise during the POR with respect to Habas, 
the only company subject to this review. Accordingly, in the absence of 
reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we 
are rescinding this administrative review, in its entirety, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

administrative review, no cash deposit rates will change. Accordingly, 
the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all 
appropriate entries. Because Commerce is rescinding this review in its 
entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained 
shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated 
countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 
warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).
