only party to request a review of these companies.

Partial Rescission

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
Petitioners' request has fallen within the 90-day period, and thus, is 
timely. Because the Petitioners' withdrawal of requests for review is 
timely and because no other party requested a review of the 
aforementioned companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we 
are rescinding this review with respect to the above listed companies.

Assessment Rates

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'')

[[Page 42551]]

to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For those 
companies for which this review has been rescinded and which have a 
separate rate, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to 
the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time 
of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2). The Department intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of 
this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, 
of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 
presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. 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 terms of an APO 
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: July 16, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
