administrative review of BTIC.\2\ No other party requested a review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 79 FR 44390, 44392 (July 31, 2014); see also 
Letter from Petitioner, ``High Pressure Steel Cylinders from the 
People's Republic of China Revised Request for Administrative Review 
and Entry of Appearance'' (June 30, 2014); Letter from BTIC, 
``Request for the Second Administrative Review of the Countervailing

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

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, both 
Petitioner and BTIC withdrew their respective requests 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 HPSC from the PRC covering 
the period January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013, in its entirety.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess CVDs on all entries of HPSC from the PRC made during 
the period of review 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 the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, 
if appropriate.

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. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of CVDs occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled 
CVDs.
    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 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 that 
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: September 24, 2014.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
