---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Petitioners also withdrew their request for review of United 
Manufacturing International (Beijing) Ltd. (``UMI''). However, UMI 
has submitted a request on its behalf for an administrative review 
in the current proceeding. See, Letter from UMI, dated April 21, 
2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 
aforementioned requests for review were withdrawn within the 90-day 
period. Because the requests for review were timely withdrawn and 
because no other party requested a review of the aforementioned 
companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are partially 
rescinding this review with respect to these companies.

Assessment Rates

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. See 
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). For those companies for which this review has 
been rescinded and which have a separate rate from a prior segment of 
this proceeding, 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). Accordingly, the Department intends to issue 
assessment instructions, based on separate rates assigned in prior 
segments of the proceeding, to CBP 15 days after publication of this 
notice for the following companies: Datong Locomotive Coal & Chemicals 
Co., Ltd.; Ningxia Lingzhou Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Qixian 
Foreign Trade Corporation; Shanxi Xuanzhong Chemical Industry Co., 
Ltd.; and Xi'an Shuntong International Trade & Industrials Co., Ltd.
    For those companies not assigned a separate rate from a prior 
segment of the proceeding, the Department has stated that they belong 
to the PRC-wide entity and that the administrative review will continue 
for these companies. See Initiation Notice. The Department intends to 
issue liquidation instructions for the PRC-wide entity 15 days after 
publication of the final results of this review.

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: September 14, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
