    On October 18, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation of administrative review with respect to imports 
of wind towers from Indonesia in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i).\4\ This review covers eight exporters and/or 
producers.\5\ On October 18, 2023, we placed on the record U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection (CBP) data for entries of wind towers from 
Indonesia during the POR, showing no reviewable POR entries and invited 
interested parties to comment.\6\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 6, 2023, PT. Kenertec Power Systems (Kenertec), an 
exporter subject to this review, submitted a no-shipment certification, 
indicating that it had no exports or sales of subject merchandise to 
the United States during the POR.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Kenertec's Letter, ``Notification of No Shipments,'' 
dated November 6, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 8, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of 
its intent to rescind the instant review 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.\8\ We did not receive any comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,'' 
dated February 8, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.\9\ Normally, upon completion of an 
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD 
assessment rate calculated for the review period.\10\ 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.\11\ As 
noted above, there were no entries of subject merchandise for 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).

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates 
equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping 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.

Notification Regarding 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). 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
