of chassis exported by the above Chinese exporters, in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19

from China during the POR, showing no reviewable POR entries, and 
invited interested parties to comment.\5\ On August 29, 2024, CIMC

full because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject 
merchandise by any of the four companies listed in the Initiation 
Notice during the POR and invited comments from interested parties.\7\ 
No interested party submitted comments to Commerce in response to this 
notice.

administrative proceeding by 90 days.\8\ The deadline for the 
preliminary results is now July 1, 2025.

Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated December 9, 2024.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to 
rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there are no 
reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which 
liquidation is suspended.\9\ Normally, upon completion of an 
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD 
assessment rate calculated 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 AD 
assessment rate calculated for the review period.\11\ As noted above, 
there were no entries of subject merchandise for the four companies 
listed in the Initiation Notice during the POR. Accordingly, in the 
absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we 
are hereby rescinding this administrative review, in its entirety, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

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)

APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary 
information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or destruction 
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
