ineligible to participate in this scope 

certification process, but indicated that 

they could request reconsideration of 

their exclusion from the certification 

process in a future segment of the 

proceeding.2

On June 26, 2023, based on a request 

filed by AM Stone,3 Commerce initiated 

a CCR to determine whether Universal 

Quartz is eligible to certify that its 

quartz surface products are not 

produced from Chinese-origin quartz 

slab.4 On July 26, 2023, AM Stone filed 

a timely request for administrative 

review for its exporter, Universal 

Quartz.5 On September 11, 2023, 

Commerce initiated AD and CVD 

administrative reviews of Universal 

Quartz, among other Malaysian 

exporters.6

Rescission of Review 

Commerce has recently determined 

that a CCR is not the appropriate 

segment to reconsider ineligible parties’ 

exclusion from a certification process, 

where that ineligibility was due to a 

party’s failure to cooperate in a prior 

segment of a proceeding.7 Commerce 

explained that an administrative review 

is the proper segment of a proceeding 

for a party deemed ineligible from 

participating in a certification process to 

request reconsideration of its eligibility 

to certify, absent evidence of a changed 

circumstance.8 In light of Solar Cells, 

Commerce has reevaluated AM Stone’s 

CCR request and determines that a 

party’s newfound willingness to 

participate is not a changed 

circumstance sufficient to warrant such 

a review. Additionally, as noted above, 

Commerce recently initiated AD and 

CVD administrative reviews of 

Universal Quartz, among other 

exporters.9 As a result, consistent with 

Solar Cells, Commerce will reevaluate 

the eligibility of Universal Quartz to 

participate in the certification process as 

part of these administrative reviews. 

Consequently, we are rescinding this 

CCR with respect to Universal Stone.

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties on all appropriate entries during 

the PORs noted above for each of the 

listed administrative reviews at rates 

equal to the cash deposit of estimated 

antidumping or countervailing duties, 

as applicable, required at the time of 

entry, or withdrawal of merchandise 

from warehouse, for consumption, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of this recission notice in 

the Federal Register for rescinded 

administrative reviews of AD/CVD 

orders on countries other than Canada 

and Mexico. For rescinded 

administrative reviews of AD/CVD 

orders on Canada or Mexico, Commerce 

intends to issue assessment instructions 

to CBP no earlier than 41 days after the 

date of publication of this recission 

notice in the Federal Register. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to importers of merchandise 

subject to AD/CVD orders of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties and/or 

countervailing duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during the review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

and/or countervailing duties occurred 

and the subsequent assessment of 

doubled antidumping duties and/or 

countervailing duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective orders (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 in these 

segments of these proceedings. 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 issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
