Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar From 

the Republic of Tu ̈rkiye: Rescission of 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Review; 2023 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) is rescinding the 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on steel 

concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) from the 

Republic of Tu ̈rkiye (Tu ̈rkiye), covering 

the period January 1, 2023, through 

December 31, 2023. 

DATES: Applicable November 29, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 1, 2024, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the CVD order on rebar from 

Tu ̈rkiye.1 On July 31, 2024, the Rebar 

Trade Coalition (the petitioner) timely 

requested that Commerce conduct an 

administrative review of Habas Sinai ve 

Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi A.S 

(Habas).2 We received no other requests 

for review. On August 12, 2024, we 

received a no shipment certification 

from Habas.3 On August 14, 2024, 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register a notice of initiation of an 

administrative review with respect to 

Habas.4 On September 18, 2024, 

Commerce issued an intent to rescind 

memorandum notifying interested 

parties that import data issued by the 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) indicated that Habas did not have 

reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR for which 

liquidation is suspended.5 Accordingly, 

in the absence of reviewable, suspended 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR, Commerce intended to rescind 

this administrative review with respect 

to Habas. Commerce provided all parties 

an opportunity to comment. No parties 

submitted comments. 

Rescission of Review 

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

Commerce’s practice to rescind an 

administrative review of a CVD order 

where it concludes that there were no 

reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR.6

Normally, upon completion of an 

administrative review, the suspended 

entries are liquidated at the CVD 

assessment rate for the review period.7

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 CVD assessment rate 

for the review period.8 As noted above, 

CBP confirmed that there were no 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR with respect to Habas, the only 

company subject to this review. 

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 

Commerce will instruct CBP to assess 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries. Because Commerce is 

rescinding this review in its entirety, the 

entries to which this administrative 

review pertained 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

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with regulations and

Review; 2022–2023

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

certain producers/exporters subject to

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 1, 2024, Commerce 

published the preliminary results of the 

2022–2023 administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on citric acid 

and certain citrate salts (citric acid) from 

Thailand 1 in the Federal Register and 

invited interested parties to comment.2

We received no comments from 

interested parties on the Preliminary 

Results, and we have made no changes 

to the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, 

no decision memorandum accompanies 

this Federal Register notice. The 

Preliminary Results are hereby adopted 

in these final results. Commerce 

conducted this administrative review in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

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

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this Order 

include all grades and granulation sizes 

of citric acid, sodium citrate, and 

potassium citrate in their unblended 

forms, whether dry or in solution, and 

regardless of packaging type. For a full 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Selected Company 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not directly address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

individual companies not selected for 

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 

review 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 

calculated dumping margins of zero 

percent for both mandatory 

respondents: COFCO Biochemical 

(Thailand) Co., Ltd. (COFCO) and 

Sunshine Biotech International Co., Ltd. 

(Sunshine). Thus, in accordance with 

the expected method, and consistent 

with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 

Federal Circuit’s decision in 

Albemarle,3 we assign to Xitrical Group 

Co. LTD., the sole non-selected 

company under review, a zero percent 

rate, based on the rates calculated for 

the two mandatory respondents. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

weighted-average dumping margins 

exist for the period July 1, 2022, through 

June 30, 2023: 

Producer/exporter 

WeightedAverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

COFCO Biochemical (Thailand) 

Co., Ltd ................................... 0.00 

Sunshine Biotech International 

Co., Ltd ................................... 0.00 

Xitrical Group Co. LTD ............... 0.00 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

interested parties the calculations of the 

final results of an administrative review 

within five days of a public 

announcement 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). 

However, because we have made no 

changes to the Preliminary Results, 

there are no calculations to disclose. 

Assessment Rates 

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), upon 

completion of the administrative 

review, Commerce shall determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise covered this review. 

Because the respondents’ weightedaverage dumping margins or importerspecific assessment rates are zero or de 

minimis in the final results of review, 

we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties.4 The final results of this
