Ltd.; and Thai Oil Pipe Co., Ltd.2 We 

received no other requests of review. 

On July 5, 2024, Commerce initiated 

an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on oil country 

tubular goods from China, 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) Petroleum Equipment 

(Thailand) Co., Ltd.; and (2) Thai Oil 

Pipe Co., Ltd.4 On May 10, 2024, we 

placed on the record U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) data for entries 

of OCTG from China during the POR, 

showing no reviewable POR entries for 

any company listed in the Initiation 

Notice.5 We invited interested parties to 

comment, and received no comments. 

On August 23, 2024, Commerce 

notified all interested parties of its 

intent to rescind the instant review 

because there were no suspended 

entries of subject merchandise by any of 

the companies subject to this review 

during the POR, and we invited 

interested partes to comment.6 We did 

not receive any comments. 

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 entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR for which 

liquidation is suspended.7 Normally, 

upon completion of an administrative 

review, the suspended entries are 

liquidated at the AD assessment rate 

calculated for the review period.8

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.9 As noted above, there 

were no suspended entries of subject 

merchandise for the companies 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. 

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of OCTG from China. AD duties 

shall be assessed at rates equal to the 

cash deposit rate of estimated AD 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).

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

determines that TRAPA Forest Products 

Ltd. (TRAPA) is the successor-ininterest (SII) to Trans-Pacific Trading 

Ltd. (Trans-Pacific) in the context of the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

certain softwood lumber products 

(softwood lumber) from Canada.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 3, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a CVD 

order on softwood lumber from 

Canada.1 On April 11, 2024, TRAPA 

filed a request for an expedited CVD 

changed circumstances review (CCR).2

In its CCR Request, TRAPA reported 

that effective April 8, 2024, TransPacific changed its name to TRAPA, and 

thus, requested Commerce to conduct a 

CCR to determine that TRAPA is the SII 

to Trans-Pacific and assign to TRAPA 

the cash deposit rate of Trans-Pacific. 

On July 29, 2024, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register its notice of 

initiation of a CVD CCR for TRAPA.3

For a complete description of the 

events of this CVD CCR, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4 A

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a

Decision Memorandum can be accessed

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by this Order is 

certain softwood lumber products. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of CCR 

In a CVD CCR, Commerce will make 

an affirmative successorship finding 

(i.e., that the respondent company is the 

same subsidized entity for CVD cash 

deposit purposes as the predecessor 

company) where there is no evidence of 

significant changes in the respondent’s: 

(1) operations; (2) ownership; and (3) 

corporate and legal structure during the 

relevant period (i.e., the ‘‘look-back 

window’’) that could have affected the 

nature and extent of the respondent’s 

subsidy levels.5 Where Commerce 

makes an affirmative CVD successorship 

finding, the successor’s merchandise 

will be entitled to enter under the 

predecessor’s cash deposit rate. 

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.216 

and section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), we 

preliminarily determine that TRAPA is 

the SII to Trans-Pacific. For the 

complete SII analysis, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Should the final results remain the same 

as these preliminary results, we will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection to assign entries of subject 

merchandise exported by TRAPA the 

CVD cash deposit rate applicable to 

Trans-Pacific (i.e., 6.74 percent),6

effective the date of publication of the 

final results.
