**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On December 1, Commerce published in the *Federal Register* a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the order on carbazole violet pigment 23 from India. [^1] On December 22, 2022, Meghmani LLP, an exporter of subject merchandise, and Meghmani Pigments, an importer of subject merchandise, (collectively Meghmani) requested an administrative review of the order for the POR. [^2] On December 30, 2022, Navpad Pigments Pvt. Ltd. (Navpad), a producer and exporter of the subject merchandise, requested an administrative review of the order for the POR. [^3] Pursuant to these requests, Commerce initiated an administrative review with respect to Meghmani and Navpad, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). [^4] On February 6, 2023, we placed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data on the record indicating that Navpad had no entries of subject merchandise during the POR, and permitting parties to comment on the data. [^5] On February 15, 2023, Navpad submitted comments on the CBP data placed on the record. [^6] On March 8, 2023, Meghmani timely withdrew its request for the review. [^7] No other party requested an administrative review of Meghmani. On March 13, 2023, we issued a memorandum notifying the parties of our intention to rescind the administrative review with respect on Navpad based on the fact that it had no suspended entries during the POR. [^8] On March 20, 2023, Navpad submitted comments objecting to our rescission intention with respect to it. [^9]

**Analysis of Comments Received**
Commerce addressed the issue raised in response to its Intent to Rescind Memorandum in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included as the appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).

**Rescission of Administrative Review**
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested a review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. As stated above, Meghmani withdrew its request for an administrative review by the established 90-day deadline and there were no other requests for review of Meghmani.
Additionally, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or only 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, as the case may be. Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the antidumping duty assessment rate for the review period. [^11] Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate at the calculated antidumping duty assessment rate for the review period. As noted above, there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise from Navpad during the POR for Commerce to review.
[^11]*See* 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Based on the foregoing facts, Commerce is rescinding this review in its entirety for Meghmani and Navpad, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) and (3), respectively.
**Cash Deposit Requirements**
As Commerce has proceeded to a final rescission of this administrative review, no cash deposit rates will change. Accordingly, the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.
**Assessment**
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period December 1, 2021, through November 30, 2022, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of this notice in the *Federal Register* .
**Notification to Importers**
This notice serves as the only reminder to importers 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, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing duties.
**Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders**
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. 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 terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
**Notification to Interested Parties**
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
