<HD SOURCE="HD1">Rescission of Review</HD>
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which liquidation is suspended.
<SU>9</SU>
<FTREF/>
Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate for the review period.
<SU>10</SU>
<FTREF/>
Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the calculated AD assessment rate for the review period.
