SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 1, 2020, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the CVD order on quartz 

surface products from China for the 

period September 21, 2018 through 

December 31, 2019.1 In July 2020, 

Commerce received timely-filed 

requests for an administrative review 

from Cosmos Granite (WEST) and 

Cosmos Granite (South East) 

(collectively, Cosmos); Foshan Adamant 

Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (Foshan 

Adamant); National Stoneworks, LLC 

(National Stoneworks); Quartz Master 

LLC (Quartz Master); and Unique Stone 

Concepts LLC (Unique), in accordance 

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.213(b).2

On September 3, 2020, based upon 

these requests and in accordance with 

section 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register a notice initiating an 

administrative review of the CVD order 

on quartz surface products from China.3

In September and December 2020, 

Cosmos, Foshan Adamant, National 

Stoneworks, Quartz Master, and Unique 

timely withdrew their requests for an 

administrative review of all companies 

for which they had requested a review.4

Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the party who requested the 

review withdraws the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of notice 

of initiation of the requested review. As 

noted above, all parties withdrew their 

requests for review within 90 days of 

the publication date of the notice of 

initiation, and no other parties 

requested an administrative review of 

the order. Therefore, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding 

the administrative review of the CVD 

order on quartz surface products from 

China covering the period September 

21, 2018 through December 31, 2019, in 

its entirety. 

Assessment 

Commerce intends to instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries. Countervailing 

duties 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 appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP 35 days after 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information. Timely written 

notification of the return/destruction of 

APO materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 

violation.

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(l)(A) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). For each of the subsidy

benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.6 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

review. Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S.

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Rate

will instruct CBP to continue to collect 

cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties at the most recent 

company-specific or all-others rate 

applicable to the company, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice.
