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 notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, Appvion 
withdrew its request within the 90-day deadline, and no other party 
requested an administrative review of the CVD order. Therefore, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the 
administrative review of LWTP from the PRC covering the period January 
1, 2012, through December 31, 2012.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess CVDs on all entries of LWTP from the PRC during the 
period of review, January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, at rates 
equal to the cash deposit of estimated CVDs 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 CVDs prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during this review period.
    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 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: May 6, 2014.
