SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On April 30, 2014, based on a timely request for review by Hubei 
Xingfa Chemicals Group Co., Ltd. (``Hubei Xingfa''),\1\ the Department 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on sodium 
hexametaphosphate from the People's Republic of China covering the 
period March 1, 2013, through February 28, 2014.\2\ The review covers 
only Hubei Xingfa.\3\ On July 2, 2014, Hubei Xingfa withdrew its 
request for an administrative review.\4\ No other party requested a 
review of this company or any other exporter of subject merchandise.

Duty Order on Sodium Hexametaphosphate from the People's Republic of

    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 79 FR

People's Republic of China filed by Hubei Xingfa on July 2, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, Hubei 
Xingfa timely withdrew its request by the 90-day deadline, and no other 
party requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. 
As a result, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the 
administrative review of sodium hexametaphosphate from the People's 
Republic of China for the period March 1, 2013, through February 28, 
2014, in its entirety.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries. Because the Department is rescinding this 
administrative review in its entirety, the entries subject to this 
administrative review 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 in the Federal Register.

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), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 
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 
751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: July 22, 2014.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
