SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 28, 2013, based on a timely request for review by Alabama 
Metal Industries Corporation and Fisher & Ludlow Inc. (collectively 
``Petitioners''), the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain steel grating from the PRC covering the period 
July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013.\1\ The review covers 30 companies:

Ware Mesh Products Co., Ltd., Comtrust Metal Wire Mesh Product Factory,

Crafts Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Webforge, Guangzhou Webforge Grating Co., 
Ltd., Hebei Jinshi Industrial Metal, Hebei Jinshi Industrial Metal Co., 
Ltd., Jiashan Qilimei Grating, Jiashan Qilmei Grating Co., Ltd.,

Ltd., Ningbo Lihong Steel Grating Co., Ltd., Ningbo Zhenhai Jiulong

Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 
53128, 53130 (August 28, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review if the party that requested the review withdraws 
its request within 90 days of the publication of the notice of 
initiation of the requested review. As explained in the memorandum from 
the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, the Department 
exercised its discretion to toll deadlines for the duration of the 
closure of the Federal Government from October 1, through October 16, 
2013.\2\ Accordingly, all deadlines in this segment of the proceeding 
have been extended by 16 days. Therefore, Petitioners withdrew their 
request within the 90-day deadline. No other parties requested an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order. As a result, we 
are rescinding the administrative review of certain steel grating from 
the PRC for the period July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013.

Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, ``Deadlines Affected by 
the Shutdown of the Federal Government,'' (October 18, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
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 the 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

[[Page 18277]]

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, 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 sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: March 26, 2014.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
