All review requests were timely withdrawn for all companies listed in the <E T="03">Initiation Notice,</E> except for: (1) Bajaj Healthcare Limited (Bajaj); (2) Kumar Industries; and (3) Paras Intermediaries Private Limited. <SU>7</SU> <FTREF/> Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is partially rescinding this review of the <E T="03">Order</E> for these 22 companies. <FTNT> <SU>7</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> Deer Park Glycine, LLC's Letters, “Partial Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review” and “Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review of 23 Companies,” dated October 11, 2024, and October 25, 2024, respectively; <E T="03">see also</E> Avid Organics Private Limited's Letter, “Withdrawal of Review Request of Anti-Dumping Duty Administrative Review,” dated October 28, 2024. </FTNT> 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 concludes that there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR. <SU>8</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>9</SU> <FTREF/> Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, 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>10</SU> <FTREF/> Commerce notified all interested parties of its intent to rescind the instant review regarding Bajaj because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise from this company during the POR and invited interested parties to comment. <SU>11</SU> <FTREF/> We received no comments. In the absence of any suspended entries of subject merchandise from Bajaj during the POR, we are rescinding this administrative review with respect to Bajaj, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). <FTNT> <SU>8</SU>   <E T="03">See, e.g., 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 4154 (January 24, 2023). </FTNT> <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.g., Shanghai Sunbeauty Trading Co.</E> v. <E T="03">United States,</E> 380 F.Supp.3d 1328, 1337 (CIT 2019), at 12 (referring to section 751(a) of the Act, the U.S. Court of International Trade held that “{w}hile the statute does not explicitly require that an entry be suspended as a prerequisite for establishing entitlement to a review, it does explicitly state the determined rate will be used as the liquidation rate for the reviewed entries.
