entries of subject merchandise by any 

company subject to this review during 

the POR and invited interested parties 

to comment.6 The petitioner 7 submitted 

comments on Commerce’s notice of 

intent to rescind this review, agreeing 

that Commerce should rescind this 

review.8

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 Commerce concludes that there 

were no reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR.9

Normally, upon completion of an 

administrative review, the suspended 

entries are liquidated at the CVD 

assessment rate for the review period.10

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.11 As noted above, 

CBP data showed that there were no 

entries of subject merchandise from 

Cayenne during the POR. 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 Rates 

Commerce will instruct CBP to assess 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries. Countervailing duties 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 

publication of this rescission notice in 

the Federal Register. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to parties subject to an APO of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of the APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation, which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

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

351.213(d)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 7, 2001, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD orders on rebar from Belarus, China, 

Indonesia, Latvia, Moldova, Poland, and 

Ukraine.1 On November 1, 2023, the ITC 

instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3

the fourth sunset review of the Orders, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

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

a result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the 

Orders would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

and therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

likely to prevail should the Orders be 

revoked.4

On December 13, 2024, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The scope of these Orders covers all 

steel concrete reinforcing bars sold in 

straight lengths, currently classifiable in 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) under item 

numbers 7214.20.00, 7228.30.8050, 

7222.11.0050, 7222.30.0000, 

7228.60.6000, 7228.20.1000, or any 

other tariff item number. Specifically 

excluded are plain rounds (i.e., nondeformed or smooth bars) and rebar that

has been further processed through 

bending or coating. 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes. The 

written description of the scope of the 

Orders is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce hereby 

orders the continuation of the Orders. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD cash deposits at 

the rates in effect at the time of entry for 

all imports of subject merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Orders will be December 13, 

2024.6 Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), 

Commerce intends to initiate the next 

five-year reviews of the Orders not later 

than 30 days prior to fifth anniversary 

of the date of the last determination by 

the ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. 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 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act, 

and published in accordance with 

section 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
