amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated an 

administrative review of the Order 

covering five companies.3 On February 

16, 2024, we selected Seth Steelage Pvt. 

Ltd. (Seth Steelage) and Suncity Sheets 

as the mandatory respondents in this 

administrative review.4 On March 4, 

2024, Seth Steelage timely withdrew its 

request for review.5 On July 22, 2024, 

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 

this administrative proceeding by seven 

days.6 Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) 

of the Act, on August 5, 2024, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results until December 6, 

2024.7

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of the 

review, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.8 A list of topics included 

in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included 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 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

scope of the Order is WSPP from India. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of the Order, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

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

the Act. Export price is 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. 

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 a 

review withdraw the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation. Seth Steelage, 

Ratnamani Metals & Tubes Ltd. 

(Ratnamani), and Prakash Steelage Ltd 

(PSL) timely withdrew the requests for 

review for each company.9 No other 

parties requested an administrative 

review of Seth Steelage, Ratnamani, and 

PSL. Therefore, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is 

rescinding this administrative review 

with respect to Seth Steelage, 

Ratnamani, and PSL. 

Remaining Firms Subject to the Review 

Pursuant to the above-referenced 

rescission, two firms listed in the 

Initiation Notice remain under review: 

Suncity Sheets and Suncity Metals and 

Tubes Private Limited (Suncity Metals). 

In Suncity Sheet’s initial request for 

review, it identified that ‘‘Suncity 

{Sheets Pvt., Ltd.} exported and entered 

into the U.S. subject merchandise in the 

POR . . . since Suncity {Sheets Pvt., 

Ltd.} exported the subject merchandise, 

it changed its name from Suncity Sheets 

Pvt., Ltd., to Suncity Metals and Tubes 

Private Limited. Therefore, it is 

requesting a review of both 

companies.’’ 10 This fact pattern is 

confirmed by the U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) entry data 

released to the record for the purposes 

of respondent selection, which 

identifies Suncity Sheets as the exporter 

of entries during the POR and Suncity 

Metals with no attributable entries in 

the period.11 As Suncity Sheets was 

selected as the mandatory respondent 

for individual review and reflects the 

sole firm with entries during the period 

not otherwise rescinded upon, these 

preliminary results apply only Suncity 

Sheets. 

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d), when 

Commerce receives information 

concerning, or a request from an 

interested party for a review of, an order 

which shows changed circumstances 

sufficient to warrant a review of such 

order after publishing notice of the 

review in the Federal Register, 

Commerce shall conduct a review of the 

determination based on those changed 

circumstances. Commerce has used 

changed circumstance reviews (CCRs) to 

consider the applicability of cash 

deposit rates after there have been 

changes in the name or the structure of 

a respondent, such as a merger or 

spinoff (successor-in-interest, or 

successorship, determinations). 

Commerce has also made successor-ininterest determinations in the context of 

administrative reviews and 

investigations.12

Based on Suncity Sheets’s 

identification of Suncity Metals as the 

successor to Suncity Sheets, Commerce 

finds it appropriate to conduct a 

successor-in-interest analysis to 

determine the status of Suncity Metals 

in this review. However, because the 

record currently lacks sufficient 

information regarding the name change 

identified to allow for a complete 

analysis at present, we hereby notify 

parties of our intent to seek more 

information about the name change 

from Suncity Sheets to Suncity Metals 

in the post-preliminary stage, with the 

intent to conduct a successor in interest 

determination for purposes of the final 

results of administrative review. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin exists for the period 

November 1, 2022, through October 31, 

2023:

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). 

Commerce will announce the briefing 

schedule to interested parties at a later 

date. Interested parties may submit case 

briefs on the deadline that Commerce 

will announce.13 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.14 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.15

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 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 limit 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 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 must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) 

the party’s name, address, and 

telephone number; (2) the number of 

participants and whether any 

participant is a foreign natioanl; and (3) 

a list of issues to be discussed. Issues 

raised in the hearing will be limited to 

those raised in the respective case 

briefs. An electronically filed hearing 

request must be received successfully in 

its entirety by Commerce’s electronic 

records system, ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time within 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion 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.18

For Suncity Sheets, whose weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or 

de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), 

we will calculate importer-specific ad 

valorem AD assessment rates based on 

the ratio of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the importer’s examined 

sales to the total entered value of those 

same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). If the respondent has not 

reported entered values, we will 

calculate a per-unit assessment rate for 

each importer by dividing the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

examined sales made to that importer by 

the total quantity associated with those 

sales. To determine whether an 

importer-specific, per-unit assessment 

rate is de minimis, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also will 

calculate an importer-specific ad 

valorem ratio based on estimated 

entered values. If Suncity Sheet’s final 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is 

zero or de minimis, we intend to 

instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties.19

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by Suncity Sheets for 

which it did not know that the 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the all-others 

rate in the original less-than-fair-value 

(LTFV) investigation (i.e., 8.35 percent) 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.20

For the companies listed above for 

which this review is being rescinded, 

antidumping duties shall be assessed on 

entries 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 

for the rescinded companies no earlier 

than 35 days after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

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 

applicable.21

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., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective for all shipments of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

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

cash deposit rate for each specific 

company listed above will be equal to 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

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), in which case the 

cash deposit rates will be zero; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not participating in this 

review, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding in 

which the producer or exporter 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original investigation but 

the producer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

subject merchandise; and (4) the cash

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 review 

period. 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 doubled antidumping 

duties, and/or an increase in the amount 

of antidumping duties by the amount of 

the countervailing duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(2), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
