SUMMARY
The U . S . Department of Commerce ( Commerce ) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty ( AD ) order on certain quartz surface products ( QSP ) from India in accordance with section 751 ( a ) of the Tariff Act of 1930 , as amended ( the Act ). The period of review ( POR ) is December 13 , 2019 , through May 31 , 2021 . The review covers 57 producers or exporters of the subject merchandise , of which we selected Pokarna Engineered Stone Limited ( PESL ), and Antique Group as the mandatory respondents . 1 We preliminarily determine that PESL did not make sales of the subject merchandise at prices below normal value ( NV ) during the POR . Additionally , Commerce has preliminarily assigned Antique Group an AD margin based on the application of adverse facts available .

See Memorandum , “ Respondent Selection ,” dated September 28 , 2021 ( Respondent Selection Memorandum ). In the underlying less-than-fair-value investigation , Commerce found Antique Marbonite Private Limited , India ( Antique Marbonite ) and its affiliates Shivam Enterprises ( Shivam ) and Prism Johnson Limited ( Prism Johnson ) to be a single entity ( collectively , Antique Group ). See also Certain Quartz Surface Products from India : Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances , 85 FR 25391 ( May 1 , 2020 ) ( Final Determination ). Because there is no information on the record of this administrative review that would lead us to revisit this determination , we are continuing to treat these companies as part of a single entity for the purposes of this administrative review , in accordance with section 771 ( 33 )( E ) and ( F ) of the Act , and 19 CFR 351.401 ( f ).
