SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 24, 2017, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on finished 

carbon steel flanges from India.1 On 

August 2, 2022, Commerce published a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the Order.2 On 

October 11, 2022, based on timely 

requests for review, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review of the Order with 

respect to 42 companies.3 On November 

3, 2022, Commerce selected Norma 

Group 4 and R. N. Gupta & Company 

Limited (RNG) as mandatory 

respondents in this administrative 

review.5 On April 25, 2023 and August 

16, 2023, in accordance with section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(2), Commerce extended the 

time period for issuing these 

preliminary results until no later than 

August 31, 2023.6

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.7 A list of topics 

included in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

I to this notice. The Preliminary 

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 Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is finished carbon steel flanges. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of the Order, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) 

and (2) of the Act. Export price is 

calculated in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. NV is calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying these 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not address the establishment of a 

rate to be applied to companies not 

selected for individual examination 

when Commerce limits its examination 

in an administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in a 

market economy investigation, for 

guidance when calculating the rate for 

companies which were not selected for 

individual examination in an 

administrative review. Under section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 

rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ 

In this administrative review, we 

preliminarily calculated weightedaverage dumping margins for Norma 

Group and RNG that are not zero, de 

minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), or 

determined entirely on the basis of facts 

available. Accordingly, consistent with 

guidance in section 735(c)(5)(A) of the 

Act, Commerce is preliminarily 

assigning to the companies not 

individually examined a margin of 1.00 

percent, which is the weighted average 

of Norma Group’s margin and RNG’s 

margin based on publicly ranged U.S. 

sales values.8 The companies not 

selected for individual examination are 

listed in Appendix II. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the 

period August 1, 2021, through July 31, 

2022:

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed for these preliminary results 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice.10 Interested 

parties may submit case briefs no later 

than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice.11 Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in case 

briefs, may be filed no later than seven 

days after the date for filing case 

briefs.12 Parties who submit case briefs 

or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) a statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument; 

and (3) a table of authorities.13

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, filed electronically via 

ACCESS, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain: (1) the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; (3) whether any 

participant is a foreign national; and (4) 

a list of the issues to be discussed. 

Issues raised in the hearing will be 

limited to those raised in the respective 

case and rebuttal briefs.14 If a request for 

a hearing is made, Commerce intends to 

hold the hearing at a date and time to 

be determined. Parties should confirm 

the date and time of the hearing two 

days before the scheduled date. 

All briefs and hearing requests must 

be filed electronically using ACCESS 

and received successfully in their 

entirety by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on the 

due date. Note that Commerce has 

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.15

Unless the deadline is extended 

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of our analysis of 

the issues raised by the parties in any 

written briefs, no later than 120 days 

after the date of publication of these 

preliminary results. 

Verification 

On October 14, 2022, Weldbend 

Corporation, a domestic interested 

party, requested that Commerce conduct 

verification of Norma Group’s and 

RNG’s responses.16 Accordingly, as 

provided in section 782(i)(3) of the Act, 

we verified information relied upon for 

the preliminary results of this review.17

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of this 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. If the weighted-average 

dumping margin for a mandatory 

respondent is not zero or de minimis in 

the final results of this review, we will 

calculate an importer-specific 

assessment rate on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for each importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of such 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).18 If the weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis 

in the final results of review, or if an 

importer-specific assessment rate is zero 

or de minimis, Commerce will instruct 

CBP to liquidate appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties.19

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the period of review produced by 

the respondents for which they did not 

know its merchandise was destined for 

the United States, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate unreviewed entries 

pursuant to the reseller policy, i.e., the 

assessment rate for such entries will be 

the all-others rate established in the 

investigation if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.20

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual examination, we 

intend to assign an antidumping duty 

assessment rate equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin determined for 

the non-examined companies in the 

final results of 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. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). The final 

results of this review shall be the basis 

for the assessment of antidumping 

duties on entries of merchandise 

covered by the final results of this 

review and for future cash deposits of 

estimated antidumping duties, where 

applicable.21

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the final results of this administrative 

review for all shipments of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for companies subject 

to this review will be equal to the 

company-specific weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this administrative review; (2) 

for merchandise exported by a company 

not covered in this review but covered 

in a prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published in the 

completed segment for the most recent 

period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 

covered in this review, a prior review, 

or the less-than-fair-value investigation, 

but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

in the most recently completed segment 

of the proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 8.91 percent, the allothers rate established in the less-thanVerDate Sep<11>2014 19:19 Sep 06, 2023 Jkt 259001 PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\07SEN1.SGM 07SEN1

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) is rescinding the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on 

magnesium metal from the People’s 

Republic of China (China) for the period 

of review (POR) April 1, 2022, through 

March 31, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 4, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the AD order 

on magnesium metal from China.1 On 

April 25, 2023, US Magnesium LLC (the 

petitioner) submitted a timely request 

that Commerce conduct an 

administrative review.2

On June 12, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation of administrative 

review with respect to imports of 

magnesium metal exported and/or 

produced by Tianjin Magnesium 

International Co., Ltd. and Tianjin 

Magnesium Metal Co., Ltd, in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).3 On July 

18, 2023, we placed on the record U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

data for entries of magnesium metal 

from China during the POR, showing no 

reviewable POR entries and invited 

interested parties to comment.4 No 

interested party submitted comments to 

Commerce. 

Additionally, on August 10, 2023, 

Commerce notified all interested parties 

of its intent to rescind the instant review 

in whole because there were no 

reviewable, suspended entries of subject 

merchandise by any of the companies 

subject to this review during the POR 

and invited interested parties to 

comment.5 No interested party 

submitted comments to Commerce. 

Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is 

Commerce’s practice to rescind an 

administrative review of an AD order 

when there are no reviewable entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR for 

which liquidation is suspended.6

Normally, upon completion of an 

administrative review, the suspended 

entries are liquidated at the AD 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.7 Therefore, for an 

administrative review to be conducted, 

there must be at least one reviewable, 

suspended entry that Commerce can 

instruct CBP to liquidate at the AD 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.8 As noted above, there 

were no entries of subject merchandise 

for any of the companies subject to this 

review during the POR. Accordingly, in 

the absence of suspended entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR, we 

are hereby rescinding this 

administrative review, in its entirety, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
