15See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and 351.309(d)(2). 

Preliminary Intent To Rescind 

Administrative Review, in Part 

It is Commerce’s practice to rescind 

an administrative review of a CVD 

order, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), 

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 

countervailing duty assessment rate 

calculated for the review period.7

Therefore, for an administrative review 

of a company to be conducted, there 

must be a reviewable, suspended entry 

that Commerce can instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

liquidate at the calculated 

countervailing duty assessment rate 

calculated for the review period.8

According to the CBP data on the 

record, the companies listed in 

Appendix III did not have reviewable 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR for which liquidation is 

suspended. Accordingly, in the absence 

of reviewable, suspended entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR, we 

intend to rescind this review with 

respect to these companies, in 

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

Parties are invited to comment on the 

intent to rescind for these companies. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(l)(A) of the Act. For 

each of the subsidy programs found to 

be countervailable, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by 

an ‘‘authority’’ that give rise to a benefit 

to the recipient, and that the subsidy is 

specific.9 For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, including our reliance, in 

part, on facts otherwise available with 

adverse inferences pursuant to sections 

776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not address the establishment of a 

rate to apply companies not selected for 

individual examination when 

Commerce limits its examination in an 

administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(e)(2) of the Act. However, 

Commerce normally determines the 

rates for non-selected companies in 

reviews in a manner that is consistent 

with section 705(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in an investigation. 

Section 777A(e)(2) of the Act provides 

that ‘‘the individual countervailable 

subsidy rates determined under 

subparagraph (A) shall be used to 

determine the all-others rate under 

section 705(c)(5) {of the Act}.’’ Section 

705(c)(5)(A) states that for companies 

not investigated, in general, we will 

determine an all-others rate by weight 

averaging the countervailable subsidy 

rates established for each of the 

companies individually investigated, 

excluding zero and de minimis rates or 

any rates based solely on the facts 

available. 

Accordingly, to determine the rate for 

companies not selected for individual 

examination, Commerce’s practice is to 

weight average the net subsidy rates for 

the selected mandatory respondents, 

excluding rates that are zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

available.10 We preliminarily find that 

Norma and RNG received 

countervailable subsidies at above de 

minimis rates and not based entirely on 

facts available. Therefore, we 

preliminarily determine to assign to the 

companies not selected for individual 

review a weighted average of the 

subsidy rates calculated for Norma and 

RNG using each company’s publicly 

ranged data for the value of its exports 

of subject merchandise to the United 

States.11 The companies for which a 

review was requested, which were not 

selected as mandatory respondents or 

found to be cross-owned with a 

mandatory respondent, are listed in 

Appendix II. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, Commerce 

preliminarily determines the following 

net countervailable subsidy rates exist 

for the period January 1, 2022, through 

December 31, 2022: 

Company Subsidy rate 

(percent ad valorem) 

Norma (India) Ltd.12 ............................................................................................................................................................ 2.58 

R.N. Gupta & Company Limited .......................................................................................................................................... 2.28 

Non-Selected Companies Under Review 13 ........................................................................................................................ 2.38 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed in 

connection with the preliminary results

ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 

the established deadline. 

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their briefs that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this review, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide at the beginning of their briefs 

a public, executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.16 Further, we 

request that interested parties limited 

their executive summary of each issue 

to no more than 450 words, not 

including citations. We intend to use 

the executive summaries as the basis of 

the comment summaries included in the 

issues and decision memorandum that 

will accompany the final results in this 

administrative review. We request that 

interested parties include footnotes for 

relevant citations in the public 

executive summary of each issue. Note 

that Commerce has amended certain of 

its requirements pertaining to the 

service of documents in 19 CFR 

351.303(f).17

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time 

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; and (3) a list of 

issues to be discussed. Oral 

presentations at the hearing will be 

limited to issues raised in the briefs. If 

a request for a hearing is made, 

Commerce will inform parties of the 

schedule date for the hearing.18

Assessment Rates 

Consistent with section 751(a)(1) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), upon 

issuance of the final results, Commerce 

shall determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this 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., without 90 days of 

publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

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

Act, upon publication of the final 

results, Commerce intends to instruct 

CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties for each 

of the companies listed above on 

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, except where the 

rate calculated in the final results is zero 

or de minimis. For all non-reviewed 

firms, we will instruct CBP to continue 

to collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties at the all-others 

rate or the most recent company-specific 

rate applicable to the company, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results 

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 its analysis of 

issues by the parties in any written 

briefs, no later than 120 days after the 

date of publication of these preliminary 

results. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with
