Analysis of Comments Received

    Commerce addressed the issue raised in the case and rebuttal briefs 
in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. This issue is identified in the 
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.

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 where it 
concludes there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise during 
the POR for an exporter or producer. Normally, upon completion of an 
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the 
antidumping duty assessment rate(s) based on the final results for the 
review period. Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, 
there must be a suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection to liquidate at the calculated antidumping duty 
assessment rate for the review period. As explained in detail in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum, there were no suspended entries of 
subject merchandise from CSAC during the POR. Accordingly, in the 
absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we 
are rescinding this administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(3).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    As Commerce is rescinding this administrative review, cash deposit 
rates will not change. Accordingly, the current cash deposit 
requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 26, 2023.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
