The Commerce Department said it's rescinding the administrative review of the countervailing duty order on stainless steel flanges from India (C-533-878) for the period of review Jan. 1, 2023, though Dec. 31, 2023, for the three companies subject to the review -- CD Industries (Prop. Kisaan Engineering Works Pvt. Ltd.), Jai Auto Pvt. Ltd., and R. N. Gupta & Company Limited. Jai Auto withdrew its request for review. The review for CD Industries and RNG is rescinded because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise from the two companies during the review period.
