SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On January 30, 2013, the Department initiated an administrative 
review of hot rolled steel from India covering the period December 1, 
2011, through November 30, 2012, based on a request by United States 
Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel) and Nucor Corporation (Nucor).\1\ The 
review covers eight companies.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 
6291 (January 30, 2013) (Initiation Notice).
    \2\ See id., 78 FR 6292.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nucor and U.S. Steel withdrew their requests for an administrative 
review of these companies on April 12, 2013, and April 25, 2013, 
respectively.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of 
the Initiation Notice. In this case, U.S. Steel and Nucor withdrew 
their requests within the 90-day deadline and no other parties 
requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. 
Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of hot rolled 
steel from India covering the period December 1, 2011, through November 
30, 2012, of the eight companies listed in the Initiation Notice.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all entries of hot rolled steel 
from India during the period of review. Because the Department is 
rescinding this administrative review in its entirety, the entries to 
which this administrative review pertained shall be assessed 
antidumping duties 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)(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 
Department's presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties 
occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction 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 violation that is 
subject to sanction.
    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: June 27, 2013
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
