Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties to this 

proceeding and to which we have 

responded are listed in the Appendix to 

this notice and addressed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum (‘‘Final 

Decision Memo’’), which is hereby 

adopted by this notice. Parties can find 

a complete discussion of the issues 

raised in this administrative review and 

the corresponding recommendations in 

this public memorandum which is on 

file in the Central Records Unit of the 

main Department building. In addition, 

a copy of the Final Decision Memo can

Rescission of Review 

In our Preliminary Rescission, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), 

we preliminarily rescinded the review 

for all four orders for Truper. For these 

final results, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3), we are continuing to 

rescind this administrative review with 

respect to all four orders for Truper. The 

Department verified data from Truper, 

which supports its claim that it did not 

export subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POR. 

Furthermore, no party placed evidence 

on the record demonstrating that Truper 

exported the merchandise identified 

above during the POR to the United 

States since the issuance of the 

Preliminary Rescission. Therefore, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3) 

and consistent with the Department’s 

practice, we are rescinding this 

administrative review with respect to 

the hammers/sledges, picks/mattocks, 

axes/adzes, and bars/wedges for Truper. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

administrative review and notice in 

accordance with sections 751(a) and 

777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended.
