AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (the Department) is rescinding 
the new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on brake rotors 
from the People's Republic of China (PRC) with respect to Longkou 
Zhongkai Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. (Longkou Zhongkai), an exporter of 
the subject merchandise from the PRC. The period of review (POR) covers 
April 1, 2007, through March 31, 2008. This order was revoked as a 
result of a sunset proceeding and the effective date of revocation is 
prior to the date of the U.S. entry made by Longkou Zhongkai, the 
subject of this new shipper review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 25, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Smith or Terre Keaton Stefanova, 
AD/CVD Operations, Office 2, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone (202) 482-
1766 and (202) 482-1280, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 22, 2008, the Department initiated a new shipper review for 
Longkou Zhonghai and indicated that the POR for this new shipper review 
was April 1, 2007, through March 31, 2008. See Brake Rotors From the 
People's Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty New Shipper 
Review, 73 FR 31065 (May 30, 2008).
    On May 29, 2008, the International Trade Commission (ITC) 
determined, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), that revocation of the antidumping duty order on 
brake rotors from the PRC would not be likely to lead to continuation 
or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States 
within a reasonably foreseeable time. The ITC notified the Department 
of its decision on June 12, 2008, and published its decision on June 
18, 2008.\1\ Based on the ITC's decision, the Department subsequently 
revoked the antidumping duty order on brake rotors from the PRC, 
effective August 14, 2007.\2\

(Second Review), 73 FR 34790 (June 18, 2008) and ITC Publication 
4009 Inv. No. 731-TA-744 (Second Review) June 2008.
    \2\ See Brake Rotors from the People's Republic of China: 
Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order Pursuant to Second Five-Year 
(Sunset) Review, 73 FR 36039 (June 25, 2008) (Revocation Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 14, 2008, Longkou Zhongkai withdrew its new shipper review 
request.

Rescission of Review

    Longkou Zhongkai's POR U.S. entry occurred after the effective date 
of revocation of the order, which is August 14, 2007. The Department 
has already issued its revocation instructions to U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP), which will liquidate this entry without regard 
to antidumping duties (i.e., release all bonds and refund all cash 
deposits, with interest). See Revocation Notice. Because Longkou 
Zhongkai has no additional U.S. entries to review during the POR, we 
are rescinding this new shipper review. Furthermore, Longkou Zhongkai 
has withdrawn its review request in a timely manner. In addition, 
because this order is now revoked, no cash deposit instructions are 
necessary.

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 disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(f)(3).

    Dated: July 21, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
