SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 15, 1997, we published in the Federal Register an 
antidumping duty order on crawfish from the PRC. See Notice of 
Amendment to Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and 
Antidumping Duty Order: Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat From the People's 
Republic of China, 62 FR 48218 (September 15, 1997). On September 1, 
2009, we published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
crawfish from the PRC. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Finding, or

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 
74 FR 45179 (September 1, 2009). On September 30, 2009, pursuant to 
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 
CFR 351.213(b), the petitioner, the Crawfish Processors Alliance, 
requested an administrative review of the order with respect to, among 
others, Yancheng Hi-King, an exporter of crawfish from the PRC. On 
October 26, 2009, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we published a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the order. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 74 FR 54956 (October 26, 2009).

Rescission of Review in Part

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will 
rescind an administrative review, ``in whole or in part, if a party 
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the 
date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.'' 
We received a notice of withdrawal from the petitioner with respect to 
the review requested of Yancheng Hi-King within the 90-day time limit. 
See letter from the petitioner dated January 25, 2010. Because we 
received no other requests for review of Yancheng Hi-King, we are 
rescinding the review of the order with respect to Yancheng Hi-King. 
This rescission is in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The 
Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection 15 days after publication of this notice.

Notification to Importer

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: March 10, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
