SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 30, 2011, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of initiation of an

[[Page 14342]]

administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain hot-
rolled carbon steel flat products from Taiwan covering the period 
November 1, 2010, through October 31, 2011. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request 
for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 82268 (December 30, 2011). The review 
covers five companies: Chain Chon Industrial Co., Ltd.; Kao Hsing Chang 
Iron & Steel Corp.; Kao Hsiung Chang Iron & Steel Corp.; Shang Chen 
Steel Co., Ltd.; and Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. Nucor Corporation 
requested a review of all five of those companies, and U.S. Steel 
Corporation requested a review of three of those companies. No other 
party requested a review.
    On February 14, 2012, Nucor Corporation withdrew its request for an 
administrative review of the five companies. On February 16, 2012, U.S. 
Steel Corporation withdrew its request for an administrative review of 
the three companies for which it had requested a review.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations, 
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that 
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of 
the publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review, or 
withdraws at a later date if the Department exercises its discretion to 
extend the time limit for withdrawing the request. Both Nucor 
Corporation and U.S. Steel Corporation withdrew their requests within 
the 90-day deadline. Therefore, we are rescinding the review with 
respect to all companies.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
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 directly to CBP 15 days after publication of 
this notice.

Notifications

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded of their responsibility under 19 CFR 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.
    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: March 5, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
