    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary 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 date of

83 companies listed in the Appendix.\5\ Petitioner was the only party 
to request a review of these companies. Accordingly, the Department is 
rescinding this review, in part, with respect to these entities, in

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess ADs on all appropriate entries. For the companies 
for which this review is rescinded, ADs shall be assessed at rates 
equal to the cash deposit of estimated ADs 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 the only reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, 
of their responsibility under 19 CFR

[[Page 56769]]

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of ADs 
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 ADs occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double ADs.

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 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751 
and 777(i)(l) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: September 17, 2014.
