SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On March 2, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD 
order on sulfanilic acid from India,\1\ covering the period January 1, 
2022, through May 8, 2022.\2\ We received no requests for 
administrative review. However, on May 9, 2023, Commerce inadvertently 
initiated a review of the Order, covering the period January 1, 2022, 
through December 31, 2022.\3\

Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 29881 (May 9, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Because we did not receive any requests for review of the Order, 
the initiation of the administrative review was in error. Therefore, we 
are rescinding the administrative review of the Order covering the 
period January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022.

Assessment

    Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to 
assess antidumping or countervailing duties on any entries made during 
the period January 1, 2022, through May 8, 2022, at a rate equal to the 
cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required on those 
entries at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for 
consumption.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Because the Order has been revoked,\4\ there are no cash deposit 
requirements currently in effect.

    \4\ See Revocation.
