SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 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\

\2\ See Letter from Crowell & Moring on behalf of Electrolux

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intent To Rescind the 2012 Administrative Review, in Part
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. Electrolux did not comment 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 showed that Hong
Kong Gree had no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the
POR.\5\ 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.\6\ CPB did not respond to the Department
within the customary ten days regarding the inquiry into whether there
were any suspended entries from Hong Kong Gree during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Department Memorandum regarding ``Analysis of CBP Data
and Identification of Companies to Receive Q&V Questionnaires''
(August 2, 2013).
\6\ See Message number 3263301available at http://addcvd.cbp.gov
and also IA ACCESS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on our analysis of all the information on the record, we
preliminarily 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,\7\ we preliminarily determine to rescind 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.\8\

Pipe and Tube From Turkey: Notice of Rescission of Countervailing
Duty Administrative Review, In Part, 74 FR 47921 (September 18,
2009).
\8\ The Department received several submissions for the
withdrawal of administrative review requests and will publish
separately a ``Notice of Partial Rescission of Countervailing Duty
Administrative Review'' with respect to those companies for which
review requests have been withdrawn.
