though December 31, 2022.1 On May 31, 

2023, Ningbo Eagle Machinery & 

Technology Co., Ltd. (Ningbo Eagle) and 

Zhejiang KIN–SHINE Technology Co., 

Ltd. (Zhejiang KIN–SHINE) timely 

requested that Commerce conduct an 

administrative review.2 We received no 

other requests for review. 

On July 12, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation of an administrative 

review with respect to Ningbo Eagle and 

Zhejiang KIN–SHINE, in accordance 

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).3 On July 13, 

2023, Commerce released a 

memorandum indicating that there were 

no entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR based on a U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) entry data 

query.4 Commerce provided parties an 

opportunity to submit comments on the 

data query results.5 No party submitted 

comments to Commerce. 

On October 17, 2023, Commerce 

issued a notice of intent to rescind the 

2022 administrative review and 

provided parties with an opportunity to 

comment.6 No 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 a 

countervailing duty order where it 

concludes that there were no reviewable 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR for an exporter or producer.7

Normally, upon completion of an 

administrative review, the suspended 

entries are liquidated at the 

countervailing duty assessment rate for 

the review period.8 Therefore, for an 

administrative review to be conducted, 

there must be a reviewable, suspended 

entry that Commerce can instruct CBP 

to liquidate at the calculated 

countervailing duty assessment rate for 

the review period.9 As noted above, 

there were no entries of subject 

merchandise from either Ningbo Eagle 

or Zhejiang KIN–SHINE during the POR. 

Accordingly, in the absence of 

reviewable, suspended entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR, we are 

rescinding this administrative review, in 

its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

As Commerce has proceeded to a final 

rescission of this administrative review, 

no cash deposit rates will change. 

Accordingly, the current cash deposit 

requirements shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Assessment Rates 

Commerce will instruct 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 assessment instructions to CBP 

no earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of this rescission notice in 

the Federal Register. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

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

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of the APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation, which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4).

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of 

the Act. The export price and 

constructed export price are calculated 

in accordance with section 772 of the 

Act. Normal value 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. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached in the 

appendix 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 

on the internet at https://access.trade/ 

gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin exists for the period November 

1, 2021, through October 31, 2022: 

Producer and/or exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin

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. As there are no entered values 

on the record for SNCZ’s sales, pursuant 

to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated 

importer-specific per-unit duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for the examined sales to the total 

quantity of those sales. If either SNCZ’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis within the meaning 

of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

To determine whether an importerspecific per-unit duty assessment rate is 

de minimis, we calculated an estimated 

entered value. 

Commerce clarified its ‘‘automatic 

assessment’’ regulation on May 6, 2003.5

This clarification applies to entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by SNCZ for which it did not 

know its merchandise was destined for 

the United States. In such instances, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction. 

We intend 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). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided for 

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

cash deposit rate for SNCZ will be equal 

to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this review (except, if that rate is de 

minimis, then the cash deposit rate will 

be zero); (2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not listed in the 

final results of this review, including 

those for which Commerce may 

determine had no shipments during the 

POR, the cash deposit rate will continue 

to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding; 

(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered 

in this review or another completed 

segment of this proceeding, but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) if neither the 

exporter nor the producer is a firm 

covered in this or any previously 

completed segment of this proceeding, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

all-others rate of 32.16 percent that was 

established in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.6 These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment

performed for these preliminary results 

of review to interested parties within

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 30, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

Preliminary Results of the 2021–2022 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on low melt 

polyester staple fiber (low melt PSF) 

from the Republic of Korea and invited

Scope of the Order 3

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is synthetic staple fibers, not carded or 

combed, specifically bi-component 

polyester fibers having a polyester fiber 

component that melts at a lower 

temperature than the other polyester 

fiber component (low melt PSF). A 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order is contained in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs submitted by parties in 

this administrative review are addressed 

in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and are listed in the 

appendix to this notice. The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding the Preliminary 

Results, and for the reasons explained in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

Commerce made certain changes to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculations for TAK for the final results 

or review.4

Final Results of the Administrative 

Review

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these final results of review to 

interested parties within five days after 

public announcement of the final results 

or, if there is no public announcement, 

within five days of the date of 

publication of the notice of final results 

in the Federal Register, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we 

calculated importer-specific ad valorem 

duty assessment rates based on the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for each importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of those 

sales. Where either the respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis, within the meaning 

of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importerspecific rate is zero or de minimis, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.
