SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On May 1, 2013, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on aluminum extrusions from the 
People's Republic of China (PRC) for the period January 1, 2012, 
through December 31, 2012.\1\ On May 31, 2013, we received from 
Electrolux North America, Inc., Electrolux Home Products, Inc., and 
Electrolux Major Appliances (collectively, Electrolux), a domestic 
interested party, a request that the Department conduct an 
administrative review of Hong Kong Gree Electric Appliances Sales 
Limited (Hong Kong Gree).\2\ On June 28, 2013, the Department published 
a notice of initiation of administrative review with respect to 153 
companies.\3\ On August 27, 2013, Hong Kong Gree notified the 
Department that it had no shipments of subject merchandise to the 
United States during the period of review (POR).\4\

Intent To Rescind the 2012 Administrative Review, in Part

    Hong Kong Gree submitted a letter to the Department certifying that 
it had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during 
the POR. Electrolux did not comment on Hong Kong Gree's claim of no 
shipments.
    Previously, on August 2, 2013, we released the results of a U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data query, which showed that Hong 
Kong Gree had no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the 
POR.\5\ After receipt of Hong Kong Gree's no shipment certification, we 
sent a ``no shipments inquiry'' message to CBP, which posted the 
message on September 20, 2013.\6\ CPB did not respond to the Department 
within the customary ten days regarding the inquiry into whether there 
were any suspended entries from Hong Kong Gree during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Department Memorandum regarding ``Analysis of CBP Data 
and Identification of Companies to Receive Q&V Questionnaires'' 
(August 2, 2013).
    \6\ See Message number 3263301available at http://addcvd.cbp.gov 
and also IA ACCESS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on our analysis of all the information on the record, we 
preliminarily determine that Hong Kong Gree had no shipments or entries 
of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. Therefore, 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), and consistent with our 
practice,\7\ we preliminarily determine to rescind the review for Hong 
Kong Gree. We will continue this administrative review with respect to 
those companies for which a review was requested and not subsequently 
withdrawn.\8\

From India: Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review,

Pipe and Tube From Turkey: Notice of Rescission of Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Review, In Part, 74 FR 47921 (September 18, 
2009).
    \8\ The Department received several submissions for the 
withdrawal of administrative review requests and will publish 
separately a ``Notice of Partial Rescission of Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Review'' with respect to those companies for which 
review requests have been withdrawn.
