Republic of China (the PRC). The period of review is January 23, 2009,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Rescission of Administrative Review in Part

    On December 28, 2010, based on timely requests for an 
administrative review, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on diamond sawblades from the PRC.\1\ In accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an administrative review 
``if a party that requested the review withdraws the request within 90 
days of the date of publication of notice of initiation of the 
requested review.'' On March 28, 2011, the petitioner, Diamond 
Sawblades Manufacturers Coalition, withdrew its request for review of 
sales of subject merchandise with respect to Hebei Jikai Industrial 
Group Co., Ltd. (Hebei Jikai) and Jiangyin Likn Industry Co., Ltd. 
(Jiangyin Likn). These two companies have separate rates from a prior 
segment of this proceeding.\2\ In Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof 
from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review and Intent to Rescind Review in Part, 76 FR 
76135 (December 6, 2011), we inadvertently assigned the PRC-wide rate 
to these companies. However, it is the Department's practice to rescind 
an administrative review with respect to a company that has a separate 
rate from a prior segment of the proceeding where the only party that 
requested a review timely withdrew its request.\3\

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

    On June 4, 2012, the Department deferred issuing the final results 
of this administrative review in order to investigate further serious 
allegations of fraud in the concurrent administrative review of diamond 
sawblades and parts thereof from Korea.\4\ These allegations involve 
Korean affiliates of a Chinese mandatory respondent (Weihai Xiangguang 
Mechanical Industrial Co., Ltd.) and a Chinese separate-rate company 
(Qingdao Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd.). That said, because we 
received letters withdrawing the requests for review of Hebei Jikai and 
Jiangyin Likn within the 90-day time limit, and we received no other 
requests for review of these companies, the Department is rescinding 
this review with respect diamond sawblades from the PRC exported by 
these two companies in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), The 
Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. 
Customs and Border

First Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews'' dated June 4, 2012.

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 Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 2, 2012.

Senior Advisor for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
