---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On May 29, 2014, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on drawn stainless steel sinks from the PRC with respect to 
the above-named companies.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 79 FR 30809 (May 29, 2014). (Notice of 
Initiation)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On August 27, 2014, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for 
review of Foshan Success.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Letter from the petitioner to the Secretary of Commerce, 
``Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks From The People's Republic Of China: 
Withdrawal Of Request For Administrative Review,'' dated August 27, 
2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. We 
received the petitioner's withdrawal request within the 90-day 
deadline. Therefore, in response to the withdrawal request and pursuant 
to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this administrative review 
with regard to Foshan Success. The instant review will continue with 
respect to Dongyuan, Feidong, Newecan, New Shichu, Shunde Native 
Produce, Superte, Yingao, Yuyao, Zhaoshun, and Zhongshan Silk.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ On August 27 and August 28, 2014, Zhongshan Silk submitted 
withdrawals of its request for review through the Department's 
electronic filing system IA ACCESS. The filings, however, were 
rejected because they were submitted under an incorrect case number 
and segment date/POR, respectively. Zhongshan Silk was notified of 
the rejections and advised to refile its review request withdrawal, 
but, as of the date of this notice, has not done so. See Memorandum 
to the File, ``Zhongshan Silk Imp. & Exp. Group Co., Ltd. of 
Guangdong's Submission of Withdrawal of Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated September 10, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the 
company for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall be 
assessed 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). As the company 
for which this review is rescinded is also subject to an ongoing new 
shipper review of the antidumping duty order on drawn stainless steel 
sinks from the PRC covering the period October 4, 2012, through October 
14, 2013, the Department's assessment instructions as a result of this 
rescission will only cover the period October 15, 2013, through March 
31, 2014. The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of 
this notice in the Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only 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 Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to 
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with 
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751 
and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: September 24, 2014.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
