SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On November 12, 2021, Commerce published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     the antidumping duty order on certain aluminum foil (aluminum foil) from the Republic of Türkiye (Türkiye).[1]
                    
                     On November 2, 2023, we published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
                    *Order*
                     for the POR.[2]
                    
                     On December 29, 2023, based on timely requests for an administrative review, Commerce initiated an administrative review of the 
                    *Order*
                     with respect to six companies.[3]
                    
                     On January 26, 2023, Commerce selected the Assan Single Entity [4]
                    
                     and ASAS Aluminyum Sanayi Ve Ticaret (ASAS) as the mandatory respondents in this administrative review.[5]
                    
                     On March 28, 2024, the Aluminum Association Trade Enforcement Working Group (the petitioners) and ASAS withdrew their review requests for ASAS.[6]
                    
                     On April 8, 2024, Commerce selected Panda Aluminyum A.S. (Panda) as a replacement mandatory respondent in this administrative review.[7] On July 11, 2024, Commerce extended the time limit for these preliminary results to November 29, 2024.[8]
                    
                     On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days. The deadline for the preliminary results is now December 6, 2024.[9]
                    
                     For a complete description of the events following the initiation of the administrative review, 
                    *see*
                     the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.[10] Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by the 
                    *Order*
                     is aluminum foil from Türkiye. For a complete description of the scope of this 
                    *Order, see*
                     the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that requested the review withdraw their review requests within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation for the requested review.[11]
                    
                     On March 28, 2024, the petitioners and ASAS withdrew their review requests for ASAS within the 90-day deadline.[12]
                    
                     No other parties requested an administrative review of ASAS. Also, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to rescind an administrative review of an antidumping duty order where it concludes that there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR.[13]
                    
                     Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the antidumping duty assessment rate for the review period.[14]
                    
                     Therefore, for an administrative review 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 antidumping duty assessment rate for the review period.[15]
                    
                     Commerce notified all interested parties of its intent to rescind the instant review regarding 
                    *Ilda Pack Ambalaj*
                     because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise from this company during the POR and invited interested parties to comment.[16] No parties commented on our intent to rescind. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) and (3), Commerce is rescinding the administrative review of ASAS and Ilda Pack Ambalaj, respectively. Methodology Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). We calculated export price and constructed export price NV in accordance with sections 772 and 773 of the Act, respectively. For a complete description of the methodology in 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

 Disclosure We intend to disclose the calculations and analysis performed for these preliminary results to interested parties within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days after the date of publication of this notice in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Public Comment Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), interested parties may submit case briefs to Commerce no later than 30 days after the date of publication of this notice.[17]
                    
                     Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed not later than five days after the date for filing case briefs.[18]
                    
                     Interested parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities.[19] 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 brief that should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes. In this administrative 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.[20]
                    
                     Further, we request that interested parties limit their public executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We intend to use the public 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. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, limited to issues raised in case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance via ACCESS within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Hearing requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants and whether any participant is a foreign national; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised at the hearing will be limited to those raised in the case and rebuttal briefs. If a hearing request is made, parties will be notified of the date and time of the hearing.[21]
                    
                     Parties should confirm the date and time of the hearing two days before the scheduled date. All submissions, including case and rebuttal briefs, as well as hearing requests, should be filed using ACCESS.[22]
                    
                     An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the established deadline. Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).[23] Final Results of Review Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of issues raised in written briefs, no later than 120 days after the date of publication of this notice in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    *,*
                     pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1). Assessment Rates Upon completion of the final results of this administrative review, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by this review.[24]
                    
                     If an individually examined respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or 
                    *de minimis*
                     (
                    *i.e.,*
                     less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this review, we intend to calculate an importer-specific assessment rate for antidumping duties based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).[25]
                    
                     If the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or 
                    *de minimis*
                     in the final results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.[26] For ASAS and Ilda Pack Ambalaj, for which Commerce is rescinding this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period November 1, 2022, through October 31, 2023, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP regarding these two companies no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    . For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by either of the individually examined respondents for which they did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate these entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.[27] The final results of this administrative review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where 
                    ( print page 100980)
                    applicable.[28]
                    
                     Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions regarding the individually examined respondents 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 upon publication in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     of the notice of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided in section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the individually examined respondents will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the final results of this administrative review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, 
                    *de minimis*
                     within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), then the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established in the most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 1.95 percent, the all-others rate established in the investigation, adjusted for the export-subsidy rate in the companion countervailing duty investigation.[29]
                    
                     These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) and (3), 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4). Dated: December 6, 2024. Abdelali Elouaradia, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
