SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 1, 2006, the Department published a notice of 
opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from the 
Netherlands, (71 FR 64240). On November 30, 2006, we received requests 
from USSC, Mittal and Nucor to conduct an administrative review of 
Corus' sales of certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products to the 
United States during the period November 1, 2005, through October 31, 
2006. On December 27, 2006, the Department initiated an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on certain hot-rolled carbon steel 
flat products from the Netherlands for the period November 1, 2005 
through October 31, 2006, in order to determine whether merchandise 
imported into the United States was sold at less than fair value by 
Corus. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Review, 71 FR 77720 (December 27, 2006).
    On February 27, 2007 USSC Mittal and Nucor withdrew their requests 
for review. On March 9, 2007, Corus submitted comments in regards to 
the withdrawal requests. These comments are summarized and addressed in 
an accompanying memorandum, which is being released in conjunction with 
this notice. See memorandum to Richard Weible, Office Director, through 
Robert James, Program Manager, from David Cordell, entitled ``Comments 
on Domestic Interested Parties Requests for Withdrawal.''

Rescission of Review

    Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations provide that 
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that 
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of 
the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review, or withdraws at a later date if the Department determines that 
it is reasonable to extend the time limit for withdrawing the request. 
As all parties that requested this review have withdrawn those requests 
within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation 
of the requested review, this review is rescinded. The Department 
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after the date of the publication of 
this notice. The Department will direct CBP to assess antidumping 
duties for Corus Staal BVat the cash deposit rate in effect on the date 
of entry for entries during the period November 1, 2005, through 
October 31, 2006.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under section 351.402(f) of the Department's regulations 
to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. 
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's 
assumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the 
subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with section 351.305(a)(3) of the Department's 
regulations. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of 
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an 
APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This notice is in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: March 23, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
