AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on utility scale 

wind towers (wind towers) from the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam 

(Vietnam). This review covers 

respondent CS Wind Group. The period 

of review (POR) is February 1, 2016, 

through January 31, 2017. We 

preliminarily find no evidence of any 

shipments of subject merchandise by CS 

Wind Group during the POR, and are 

therefore issuing a preliminary no 

shipments determination. 

DATES: Applicable November 6, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order are certain wind towers, whether 

or not tapered, and sections thereof. 

Merchandise covered by the order is 

currently classified in the Harmonized 

Tariff System of the United States 

(HTSUS) under subheadings 

7308.20.0020 1 or 8502.31.0000.2 Prior 

to 2011, merchandise covered by the 

order was classified in the HTSUS 

under subheading 7308.20.0000. While 

the HTSUS subheadings are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes, 

the written description of the scope of 

the order is dispositive. A full 

description of the scope of the order is 

contained in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum, which is hereby adopted 

by this notice.3

Methodology 

The Department is conducting this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

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 and in the 

Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of 

the main Department of Commerce 

building. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

on the Internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

The signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is identical in content. 

Preliminary Partial Rescission of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review 

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

Department will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if a party that requested the review 

withdraws its request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

petitioner, Wind Tower Trade Coalition, 

timely withdrew its requests for an 

administrative review of Vina Halla 

Heavy Industries Ltd. and UBI Tower 

Sole Member Company Ltd. within 90 

days of the Initiation Notice 4 of this 

review.5 Accordingly, the Department is 

rescinding this review with respect to 

these two companies and the remaining 

entries subject to the instant review are 

of wind towers produced in Vietnam 

with respect to the CS Wind Group 

where CS Wind Group was (1) the 

producer but not the exporter, or (2) the 

exporter but not the producer.6

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Based on information CS Wind Group 

submitted after the initiation of this 

administrative review, and due to the 

fact that we have not received any 

information from U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) indicating that 

CS Wind Group had entries where CS 

Wind Group was (1) the producer but 

not the exporter, or (2) the exporter but 

not the producer during the POR, the 

Department has preliminarily 

determined that the record evidence 

indicates that CS Wind Group had no 

shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR.7

Consistent with an announced 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

non-market economy cases, the 

Department is not rescinding this 

review but intends to complete the 

review with respect to CS Wind Group 

for which it has preliminarily found no 

shipments and issue appropriate 

instructions to CBP based on the final 

results of the review.8

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department will determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.9 The Department intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 

days after the publication date of the 

final results of this review. For entries 

of subject merchandise during the POR 

produced but not exported or exported 

but not produced by CS Wind Group, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the Vietnam-wide 

rate if there was no rate for the 

intermediate company or companies 

involved in the transaction.10 For 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced and exported by CS 

Wind Group, these entries continue to 

be excluded from the order and will 

remain enjoined pursuant to the terms 

of the injunction during the pendency of 

any appeals process.11

Additionally, for the companies for 

which this review is rescinded, 

antidumping duties shall be assessed at 

rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). 

The Department intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions to 

CBP 15 days after publication of this 

notice. 

Disclosure and Public Comment

interested parties may submit case briefs 

no later than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice.12 Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the

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.14 Case and

written briefs, not later than 120 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice, unless extended, pursuant to 

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

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: October 31, 2017.
