A complete description of the scope of the <E T="03">Order</E> is contained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Methodology</HD> Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce preliminarily relied entirely upon facts otherwise available with adverse inferences for Pipe & Piling. For a complete description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, <E T="03">see</E> the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached in Appendix I of this notice. 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 <E T="03">https://access.trade.gov.</E> In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is available at <E T="03">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.</E> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Rescission of Review, In Part</HD> Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> . On October 3, 2024, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for review of Canam (St Gedeon). <SU>8</SU> <FTREF/> Because no other party requested a review of this company, Commerce is rescinding this review with respect to Canam (St Gedeon), in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). <FTNT> <SU>8</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> Petitioner's Letter, “Partial Withdraw of Request for Administrative Review,” dated October 3, 2024. We note that while the petitioner also withdrew its request for review of Pipe & Piling Sply Ltd and Pipe & Piling Supplies, Pipe & Piling also requested its own review. </FTNT> Further, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), Commerce will rescind an administrative review when there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which liquidation is suspended. Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate calculated for the POR. <SU>9</SU> <FTREF/> Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be at least one reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate at the AD assessment rate calculated for the review period. <SU>10</SU> <FTREF/> <FTNT> <SU>9</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>10</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). </FTNT> On May 20, 2025, we notified parties of our intent to rescind this administrative review, in part, with respect to the companies listed in Appendix II because there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise produced or exported by these companies during the POR. <SU>11</SU> <FTREF/> We invited interested parties to comment on our intent to rescind the review, in part;  <SU>12</SU> <FTREF/> however, we received no comments from interested parties. Therefore, in the absence of any suspended entries of subject merchandise from the companies listed in Appendix II during the POR, we are rescinding this review, in part, with respect to these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). <FTNT> <SU>11</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> Memorandum, “Notice of Intent to Rescind Review, in Part,” dated May 20, 2025. </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>12</SU>   <E T="03">Id.</E> </FTNT> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Preliminary Determination of No Shipments</HD> Based on record information, we preliminarily determine that Evraz did not have knowledge that subject merchandise it produced was destined for the United States and thus Evraz is not considered the exporter of subject merchandise during the POR for the purposes of this review. Therefore, we preliminarily determine that Evraz made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Consistent with Commerce's practice, we find that it is not appropriate to rescind the review with respect to Evraz, but rather to complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of this review. <SU>13</SU> <FTREF/> <FTNT> <SU>13</SU>   <E T="03">See, e.g., Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge from Taiwan; Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2014-2015,</E> 81 FR 71057, 71058 (October 14, 2016), unchanged in <E T="03">Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge from Taiwan; Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2014-2015,</E> 82 FR 18432, 18433 (April 19, 2017). </FTNT> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Preliminary Results of Review</HD> Commerce preliminarily determines that t ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Preview showing 10k of 22k characters.
