In the quarterly rescission notice that published on October 26, 2022 (87 FR 64763), Commerce inadvertently listed the wrong period of review for the case above. The correct period of review is listed in this notice.

As stated in the Federal Register notice of the order, the order applies only to utility scale wind towers produced and exported by CS Wind Vietnam Co., Ltd., otherwise known as CS Wind Tower Co., Ltd., and its affiliated owner, CS Wind Corporation (collectively, the CS Wind Group). See Utility Scale Wind Towers from Canada, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Antidumping Duty Orders,85 FR 52546, 52548 (August 26, 2020). However, the initiation notice inadvertently included 14 other producers or exporters of utility scale wind towers from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews,87 FR 61278, 61284 (October 11, 2022). We clarify that the administrative review for this order was initiated on entries by the producer/exporter combination to which this order applies ( i.e., entries both produced and exported by the CS Wind Group). With the publication of this Federal Register notice, Commerce is rescinding this review. Companies other than the producer/exporter combination specified above are covered by a different order. See Utility Scale Wind Towers from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order,78 FR 11150 (February 15, 2013) ( Existing Wind Towers Order). The next opportunity to request an administrative review of companies covered under the Existing Wind Towers Order will occur with the publication of the notice of opportunity to request an administrative review for orders with a February anniversary month in February 2023.

In the initiation notice, Commerce initiated reviews of Ningbo Decko Metal Products Trade and Zhejiang Limai Metal Products Co. Those companies should have been identified as Ningbo Decko Metal Products Trade Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Limai Metal Products Co. Ltd. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 87 FR 74404 (December 5, 2022).

Assessment

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping and/or countervailing duties on all appropriate entries during the periods of review noted above for each of the listed administrative reviews at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping or countervailing duties, as applicable, required at the time of entry, or withdrawal of merchandise from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this recission notice in the Federal Register for rescinded administrative reviews of AD/CVD orders on countries other than Canada and Mexico. For rescinded administrative reviews of AD/CVD orders on Canada or Mexico, Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 41 days after the date of publication of this recission notice in the Federal Register .

Notification to Importers

This notice serves as the only reminder to importers of merchandise subject to AD orders of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in these segments of these proceedings. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Dated: January 25, 2023.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
