sales of subject merchandise at less than 

normal value during the period of 

review (POR) December 13, 2019, 

through May 31, 2021. Additionally, 

Commerce has preliminarily assigned 

Antique Group an antidumping duty 

margin based on the application of 

adverse facts available. Finally, we are 

also rescinding this review with respect 

to two companies. Interested parties are 

invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable July 8, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 22, 2020, Commerce 

published the antidumping duty order 

on certain quartz surface products (QSP) 

from India in the Federal Register.1 On 

August 3, 2021, pursuant to section 

751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), Commerce initiated 

an administrative review of the Order.2

On February 4, 2022, we extended the 

deadline for the preliminary results to 

June 30, 2022.3

Commerce initiated this 

administrative review covering 57 

individually named companies.4 On 

September 28, 2021, we limited the 

number of respondents selected for 

individual examination in this 

administrative review to PESL and 

Antique Group.5 We did not select the 

remaining companies for individual 

examination, and these companies 

remain subject to this administrative 

review. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this administrative review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.6

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 products covered by the Order 

are QSP from India. For a complete 

description of the scope, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Partial Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if a party who requested the review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of notice of 

initiation of the requested review. On 

October 29, 2021, and November 1, 

2021, M S International, Inc. (MSI) and 

certain exporters and/or producers of 

QSP from India (Indian Applicants) 

timely withdrew their respective 

requests for an administrative review of 

Argil Ceramics. On October 29, 2021, 

MSI, Arizona Tile, LLC, and Indian 

Applicants timely withdrew their 

respective requests for an administrative 

review of Global Stones Private Limited. 

No other party requested a review of 

these companies. Accordingly, we are 

rescinding this review, in part, with 

respect to Argil Ceramics and Global 

Stones Private Limited, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.213(d)(1) and (4). 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

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

the Act. Export price was calculated in

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

Normal value was 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. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

I to this notice. 

Application of Facts Available with 

Adverse Inferences 

Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, 

Commerce is preliminarily relying upon 

facts otherwise available to determine a 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Antique Group in this review. 

Commerce preliminarily finds that 

Antique Group withheld information 

requested by Commerce, warranting a 

determination on the basis of the facts 

available under section 776(a) of the 

Act. Further, Commerce preliminarily 

determines that Antique Group failed to 

cooperate to the best of its ability, and 

thus, Commerce is applying facts 

available with adverse inferences (AFA) 

to Antique Group, in accordance with 

section 776(b) of the Act. For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions regarding 

the application of AFA, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not identify the dumping 

margin to apply to respondents not 

selected for individual examination 

when Commerce limits its examination 

in an administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in an 

investigation, for guidance when 

determining the dumping margin for 

respondents that are not individually 

examined in an administrative review. 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act states 

that the all-others rate should be 

calculated by averaging the weightedaverage dumping margins for 

individually-examined respondents, 

excluding dumping margins that are 

zero, de minimis, or based entirely on 

facts available. Where the dumping 

margins for individually examined 

respondents are all zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely on facts available, section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides that 

Commerce may use ‘‘any reasonable 

method to establish the estimated allothers rate for exporters and producers 

not individually investigated, including 

averaging the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins determined 

for the exporters and producers 

individually investigated.’’ We have 

preliminarily calculated a zero percent 

dumping margin for PESL, and we have 

preliminarily assigned Antique Group a 

dumping margin of 323.12 percent 

based entirely on facts available with an 

adverse inference. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 735(c)(5)(B) of 

the Act, we are preliminarily applying 

to the 51 companies not selected for 

individual examination a rate of 161.56, 

which is an average of the zero percent 

rate calculated for PESL and the 323.12 

percent AFA rate assigned to Antique 

Group. These 51 exporters are listed in 

Appendix II. For additional discussion, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these preliminary results to 

interested parties within five days after 

the date of publication of this notice.7

Interested parties may submit case briefs 

no later than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice.8 Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, may be filed no later than 

seven days after the time limit for filing 

case briefs.9 Parties who submit case 

briefs or rebuttal briefs in this 

proceeding are encouraged to submit 

with each argument: (1) a statement of 

the issue; (2) a brief summary of the 

argument; and (3) a table of 

authorities.10 Executive summaries 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. Case and rebuttal 

briefs should be filed using ACCESS 11

and must be served on interested 

parties.12 Note that Commerce has 

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.13

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. An electronically filed 

document 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. 

Requests should contain: (1) the party’s 

name, address and telephone number; 

(2) the number of participants; and (3) 

a list of issues parties intend to discuss. 

Issues raised in the hearing will be 

limited to those raised in the respective 

case and rebuttal briefs.14 If a request for 

a hearing is made, Commerce intends to 

hold the hearing at a time and date to 

be determined. Parties should confirm 

by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any briefs, 

no later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of these preliminary results 

of review, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rate 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. 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). 

If the weighted-average dumping 

margin for PESL is not zero or de 

minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in 

the final results of this review, we will 

calculate importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rates for the merchandise 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for the examined 

sales made during the POR to each

importer and the total entered value of 

those same sales, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is 

zero or de minimis in the final results 

of review, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2). If a respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis in the final results 

of review, we will instruct CBP not to 

assess duties on any of its entries in 

accordance with the Final Modification 

for Reviews, i.e., ‘‘{w}here the weightedaverage margin of dumping for the 

exporter is determined to be zero or de 

minimis, no antidumping duties will be 

assessed.’’ 15 For entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by PESL for which the producer did not 

know its merchandise was destined for 

the United States, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 

all-others rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company (or companies) 

involved in the transaction.16

Should we continue to apply facts 

available with an adverse inference to 

Antique Group in the final results, we 

will instruct CBP to apply an 

assessment rate equal to the dumping 

margin of 323.12 percent, as indicated 

above, to all entries produced and/or 

exported by Antique Group. The 

assessment rate for antidumping duties 

for each of the companies not selected 

for individual examination will be equal 

to the weighted-average dumping 

margin identified in the final results of 

review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review 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 company 

listed above will be that 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 rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not listed above, 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 company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or in the 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 merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be the all-others rate of 1.02 percent, the 

rate established in the investigation of 

this proceeding, as adjusted for subsidy 

offsets.17 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice 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 double antidumping 

duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act.
