SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 1, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice announcing the opportunity to request 
an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on 
lightweight thermal paper from the People's Republic of China for the 
period of January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2010. See Antidumping 
or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; 
Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 76 FR 67413 (November 1, 
2011). On November 30, 2011, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), the 
Department received a timely request from Appleton Papers, Inc., the 
petitioner, to conduct an administrative review of Guandong Guanhao 
High-Tech Co., Ltd. (``Guanhao'').
    On December 30, 2011, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of a countervailing duty administrative review of Guanhao. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 82268 (December 30, 
2011).

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. On 
March 29, 2012, the petitioner withdrew its request for review within 
the 90-day period. No other party requested a review of Guanhao. 
Therefore, pursuant in response to the petitioner's timely withdrawal 
request, the Department is rescinding this administrative review.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. 
For Guanhao, countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to 
the cash deposit rate in effect on the date 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 
of rescission of administrative review.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final 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/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 sanctionable violation.
    This notice is issued and 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: May 3, 2012.

Deputy Assistant Secretary or Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
