SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 2, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice 
of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD order on 
mattresses from Serbia.\1\ Commerce received a timely request for 
review of the Order from Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma for itself, and 
from Brooklyn Bedding, Elite Comfort Solutions, FXI, Inc., Kolcraft 
Enterprises, Inc., Leggett & Platt, Incorporated, the International 
Brotherhood of Teamsters, and United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 5, 2024, Commerce initiated an administrative review of the 
AD order on mattresses from Serbia, covering the period from May 1, 
2023, through April 30, 2024, in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i).\3\ This review covers subject merchandise exported 
and/or produced by the following two companies: (1) Healthcare Europe 
DOO Ruma.; and (2) Healthcare Europe, Inc.\4\ On July 22, 2024, we 
placed on the record U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for 
entries of mattresses from Serbia during the POR, showing no reviewable 
POR entries for one company, Healthcare Europe Inc. listed in the 
Initiation Notice.\5\ We invited interested parties to comment, and 
received no comments. Commerce issued the initial questionnaire to 
Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma.\6\ On September 30, 2024, Healthcare Europe 
DOO Ruma withdrew its request for administrative review, pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 19, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of 
its intent to rescind the administrative review because there were no 
suspended entries of subject merchandise made by Healthcare Europe, 
Inc., and invited interested partes to comment.\7\ We received comments 
filed on behalf of Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma.\8\ Healthcare Europe DOO 
Ruma agreed with Commerce's stated intent to rescind the administrative 
review with respect to Healthcare Europe, Inc., and also reiterated 
that it timely withdrew its review request of itself, and as a result, 
Commerce should rescind the administrative review with respect to 
Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma.\9\ Commerce did not receive comments from 
any other interested parties on Commerce's notice of intent to rescind 
the administrative review.

    On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by 
an additional 90 days.\11\

Rescission of Review

    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. Commerce received a request 
from Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma for an administrative review of itself. 
On September 30, 2024, Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma withdrew its request 
for a review of itself.\12\ Because the request for review was timely 
withdrawn for Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma, and because no other party 
requested a review of Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding this review for Healthcare 
Europe DOO Ruma.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Healthcare's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for 
Administrative Review,'' dated September 30, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 
entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which liquidation is 
suspended.\13\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, 
the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate 
calculated for the review period.\14\ Therefore, for an administrative 
review to be conducted, there must be a suspended entry that Commerce 
can instruct CBP to liquidate at the AD assessment rate calculated for 
the review period.\15\ As noted above, there were no suspended entries 
of subject merchandise for Healthcare Europe, Inc. subject to this 
review 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).

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.

[[Page 9413]]

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries of mattresses from Serbia. Antidumping duties shall 
be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate 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 appropriate 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

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: February 7, 2025.
