    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 77 FR 
40565 (July 10, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On August 15, 2012, the Petitioner withdrew its request for an 
administrative review for the following three companies: (1) Chung Hung 
Steel Corp.; (2) Kao Hsing Chang Iron & Steel Corp. (also known as Kao 
Hsiung Chang Iron & Steel Corp.); and (3) Tension Steel Industries Co. 
Ltd.

Partial Rescission

    The applicable regulation, 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), states that if a 
party that requested an administrative review withdraws the request 
within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation of the 
requested review, the Secretary will rescind the review. The Petitioner 
withdrew its review request with respect to three companies within the 
90-day deadline, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
    Therefore, in accordance with section 351.213(d)(1) of the 
Department's regulations, we are rescinding this review with respect to 
the following three companies: (1) Chung Hung Steel Corp.; (2) Kao 
Hsing Chang Iron & Steel Corp.; and (3) Tension Steel Industries Co. 
Ltd. This review will continue with respect to Shin Yang Steel Co., 
Ltd.

Assessment Instructions

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the 
companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall 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.

Notification to Importers

    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review is being rescinded of their responsibility under 19 CFR 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.

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 4, 2012.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
