Specifically, with regard to rescission, we find that not including the rescission language in the <E T="03">Final Results</E> with respect to the 11 companies after notifying parties of our intent to rescind in the <E T="03">Preliminary Results</E> and receiving no comments from any party, was an inadvertent error which we consider ministerial. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Amended Final Results of Review</HD> As a result of correcting the ministerial error, Commerce is rescinding the review with respect to the 11 companies listed below in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). <HD SOURCE="HD1">Rescission of Review, In Part</HD> Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to rescind an administrative review of an antidumping duty order where it determines that there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR. <SU>4</SU> <FTREF/> Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the antidumping duty assessment rate for the review period. <SU>5</SU> <FTREF/> Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate at the calculated antidumping duty assessment rate for the review period. <SU>6</SU> <FTREF/> <FTNT> <SU>4</SU>   <E T="03">See, e.g.,</E> <E T="03">Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Recission of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020-2021,</E> 88 FR 4157 (January 24, 2023). </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>5</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>6</SU>   <E T="03">See, e.g.,</E> <E T="03">Shanghai Sunbeauty Trading Co.</E> v. <E T="03">United States,</E> 380 F.

Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders</HD> This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.
