Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part

    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

withdrew its requests for review of 11 companies.\10\ For each of the 
companies for which all requests for review were timely withdrawn and 
which are not cross-owned with a mandatory respondent, we are 
rescinding this review, in part, with respect to these companies 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).\11\

intended to rescind this administrative review with respect to certain 
companies, in the absence of suspended entries during the POR, 
according to data obtained from U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP).\12\ No party commented on the Intent to Rescind Memorandum. With 
respect to 20 companies noted in our Intent to Rescind Memorandum and 
for which all review requests were not timely withdrawn,\13\ we find 
that there were no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act). For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we 
preliminarily determine that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 
contribution by an ``authority'' that confers a benefit to the 
recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.\14\ For a full description 
of the methodology underlying our preliminary results, including our 
reliance, in part, on adverse facts available pursuant to sections 
776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding 
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding 
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.

Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review

    As discussed above, Commerce selected two mandatory respondents, 
Senya Board and Yinfeng, for individual examination.\15\ For the 
remaining 13 non-selected companies subject to this review, because the 
rates calculated for mandatory respondents Senya Board and Yinfeng were 
above de minimis and not based entirely on facts available, we are 
applying a preliminary subsidy rate based on a weighted average of the 
rates calculated for the two mandatory respondents using the publicly-
ranged sales data they submitted on the record. This methodology is 
consistent with our practice for establishing an all-others subsidy 
rate pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act. For a list of the 
non-selected companies, see Appendix IV to this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ As discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, 
Commerce preliminarily finds Longquan Jiefeng Trade Co., Ltd. to be 
cross-owned with Senya Board. Longquan Jiefeng Trade Co., Ltd. was 
listed separately in the Initiation Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Results of Review

    As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine the 
following net countervailable subsidy rates exist for the POR, January 
1, 2023, through December 31, 2023:

executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce has amended certain 
of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR

Assessment Rates

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), we preliminarily 
assigned subsidy rates in the amounts for the companies identified 
above. Upon completion of the administrative review, consistent with 
section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall 
determine, and CBP shall assess, countervailing duties on all 
appropriate entries covered by this review.
    For the companies for which this review is rescinded, Commerce will 
instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries 
at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties 
required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for 
consumption, during the period January 1, 2023, through December 31, 
2023, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). Commerce intends to 
issue assessment instructions to CBP for these companies no earlier 
than 35 days after the publication of the preliminary results of this 
review in the Federal Register.
    For the companies for which this review is not rescinded, 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).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends, 
upon publication of the final results, to instruct CBP to collect cash 
deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown for 
each of the respective companies listed above and in Appendix IV on 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final 
results of this administrative review. For all non-reviewed firms, we 
will instruct

[[Page 24780]]

CBP to continue to collect cash deposits at the most recent company-
specific or all-others rate applicable to the company. These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.
