Background
On May 1, 2013, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review
of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on aluminum extrusions from the
People's Republic of China (PRC) for the period January 1, 2012,
through December 31, 2012.\1\ On May 31, 2013, we received from
Electrolux North America, Inc., Electrolux Home Products, Inc., and
Electrolux Major Appliances (collectively, Electrolux), a domestic
interested party, a request that the Department conduct an
administrative review of Hong Kong Gree Electric Appliances Sales
Limited (Hong Kong Gree).\2\ On June 28, 2013, the
[[Page 2636]]
Department published a notice of initiation of administrative review
with respect to 153 companies.\3\ On August 27, 2013, Hong Kong Gree
notified the Department that it had no shipments of subject merchandise
to the United States during the period of review (POR).\4\ On November
8, 2013, we published a notice of intent to rescind this administrative
review with respect to Hong Kong Gree, and invited interested parties
to comment.\5\ We received no comments, and have determined that the
review of Hong Kong Gree should be rescinded.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind an
administrative review, with respect to a particular exporter or
producer, if the Secretary concludes that, during the period covered by
the review, there were no entries, exports, or sales of the subject
merchandise to the United States by that producer. Hong Kong Gree
submitted a letter to the Department certifying that it had no
shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.
No parties commented on Hong Kong Gree's claim of no shipments.
Previously, on August 2, 2013, we released the results of a U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data query, which indicated that
Hong Kong Gree had no suspended entries of subject merchandise during
the POR.\6\ After receipt of Hong Kong Gree's no shipment
certification, we sent a ``no shipments inquiry'' message to CBP, which
posted the message on September 20, 2013.\7\ The Department did not
receive any information from CBP contrary to Hong Kong Gree's claim of
no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the
POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Department Memorandum regarding ``Analysis of CBP Data
and Identification of Companies to Receive Q&V Questionnaires''
(August 2, 2013).
\7\ See Message number 3263301 available at http://addcvd.cbp.gov and also IA ACCESS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on our analysis of all the information on the record, we
determine that Hong Kong Gree had no shipments or entries of subject
merchandise to the United States during the POR. Therefore, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), and consistent with our
practice,\8\ we are rescinding the review for Hong Kong Gree. We will
continue this administrative review with respect to those companies for
which a review was requested and not subsequently withdrawn.\9\
