Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order covering certain tin mill products 
from Japan. The period of review is August 1, 2010, through July 31, 
2011. Based on the withdrawal of request from U.S. Steel Corporation 
(U.S. Steel), we are now rescinding this administrative review.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Drury or Angelica Mendoza, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
0195 or (202) 482-3019 respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 1, 2011, the Department published a notice announcing an 
opportunity for interested parties to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on certain tin mill products from Japan. 
See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 76 FR 
45773 (August 1, 2011). On August 31, 2011, U.S. Steel filed a request 
that the Department initiate an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain tin mill products from Japan with 
respect to JFE Steel Corporation, Kawasaki Steel Corporation, Nippon 
Steel Corporation, NKK Corporation, and Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd. Based on 
U.S. Steel's request, on October 3, 2011, the Department published a 
notice of initiation of the administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain tin mill products from Japan. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 61076 (October 3, 2011).

Rescission of Review

    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. 
The Secretary may extend this time limit if the Secretary decides that 
it is reasonable to do so.'' On December 8, 2011, U.S. Steel withdrew 
its request for a review of the order with respect to JFE Steel 
Corporation, Kawasaki Steel Corporation, Nippon Steel Corporation, NKK 
Corporation, and Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd.
    Because of the withdrawal of the request for review and because we 
received no other requests for review, we are rescinding the 
administrative review of the order with respect to JFE Steel 
Corporation, Kawasaki Steel Corporation, Nippon Steel Corporation, NKK 
Corporation, and Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd. (i.e., all companies). This 
rescission is in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
these five companies, the 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)(1)(i). The Department intends to 
issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after 
publication of this notice.

Notifications

    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 also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning destruction of proprietary information disclosed under an 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the 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 published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

     Dated: January 30, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
