SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 1, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice of opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on carbazole violet 
pigment 23 from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See 
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 71 FR 
69543 (December 1, 2006). On December 29, 2006, Nation Ford Chemical 
Company and Sun Chemical Company (``Petitioners'') requested that the 
Department conduct an administrative review of 13 companies, including 
Trust Chem Co. Ltd. (``Trust Chem''). On January 4, 2007, Trust Chem 
also requested an administrative review of its exports. The Department 
published a notice of initiation of the antidumping duty administrative 
review of carbazole violet pigment 23 from the PRC for the period 
December 1, 2005, through November 30, 2006, covering the 13 companies. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 72 FR 5005 (February 2, 
2007). On May 2 and May 3, 2007, Petitioners withdrew their request for 
an administrative review of the 12 companies for which they were the 
sole requestor. On June 25, 2007, the Department published a notice 
rescinding the review on these 12 companies. See Carbazole Violet 
Pigment 23 From the People's Republic of China: Notice of Rescission, 
in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR 34670 (June 
25, 2007). Therefore, Trust Chem is the sole party who remained covered 
by this administrative review.

Rescission of Review

    On November 19, 2007, the Department issued a memorandum stating 
its intent to rescind the administrative review on Trust Chem because 
there are no entries on which the Department can assess duties during 
the POR. See Memorandum regarding, ``Intent to Rescind Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review on Trust Chem Company Limited for Carbazole 
Violet Pigment 23 from the People's Republic of China'' (November 19, 
2007) (``Intent

[[Page 71355]]

to Rescind Memo''). As stated in the Intent to Rescind Memo, it is the 
Department's practice not to conduct an administrative review when 
there are no entries to be reviewed. Furthermore, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(3), the Department will rescind an administrative review in 
whole or with respect to a particular exporter if it concludes that 
during the POR there were ``no entries, exports, or sales of the 
subject merchandise.'' Id. For a detailed discussion of the specific 
reasons the Department is rescinding this review with regard to Trust 
Chem, which are not subject to public summary, see the Intent to 
Rescind Memo.
    The Department invited all interested parties to submit comments on 
its Intent to Rescind Memo, but did not receive any comments. 
Therefore, based on the Department's practice supported by substantial 
precedent, the Department is rescinding the review with respect to 
Trust Chem, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).\1\
