Background
On June 6, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of this review in the Federal Register and invited interested parties to comment on those results. On July 8, 2024, we received a case brief from Wuyi Xilinde. No other party to this proceeding submitted a case or rebuttal brief. On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days. The deadline for these final results is now October 11, 2024. For a complete description of the events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

See Memorandum, “Analysis for the Final Results of the Administrative Review of Non-Refillable Steel Cylinders from the People's Republic of China,” dated concurrently with this notice.
Rescission of Review, in Part
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce rescinded the review, in part, with respect to two firms identified in the Initiation Notice: Sanjiang Kai Yuan Co. Ltd. (SKY), in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), and Zhejiang Kin-Shine Technology Co., Ltd. (Kin-Shine), in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). For a third firm identified in the Initiation Notice, Ningbo Eagle, the Preliminary Results notified all interested parties of Commerce's preliminary intent to rescind this administrative review for this firm due to the absence of evidence of suspended entries of subject merchandise from Ningbo Eagle during the POR and identified a period for parties to submit comment. No parties provided comment on Commerce's intent to rescind review on Ningbo Eagle. Accordingly, Commerce is rescinding this review with respect to Ningbo Eagle in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). As a result, Wuyi Xilinde is the sole party initiated upon which remains subject to the final results of review.
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 44262 (July 12, 2023).
China-Wide Entity
Under Commerce's policy regarding the conditional review of the China-wide entity, the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in this review, the entity is not under review, and the entity's rate ( i.e., 112.21 percent) is not subject to change.
See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings,78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
