SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 31, 2014, the Department received a timely request from 
Sekisui Specialty Chemical America, LLC (``Sekisui'') and Kuraray 
America Inc. (``Kuraray'') (collectively, ``Petitioners''), to conduct 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on polyvinyl 
alcohol (``PVA'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') with 
regard to Sinopec Sichuan Vinylon Works (``SVW''). Based upon this 
request, on November 28, 2014, the Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') initiated an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on PVA from the PRC with respect to SVW and covering the 
period of October 1, 2013, to September 30, 2014.\1\ On February 25, 
2015, Petitioners withdrew their request for review of SVW.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 79 FR 70850 (November 28, 2014).
    \2\ See Letter from Petitioners titled ``Polyvinyl Alcohol from 
the People's Republic of China: Withdrawal of Request for 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,'' dated February 25, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Petitioners withdrew their request for review before the 90-day 
deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on PVA from the PRC for the period of review. 
Therefore, in response to Petitioners' withdrawal of their request for 
review and pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this 
review in its entirety.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
the companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties 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). 
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 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 the antidumping duties occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a 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, 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 Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: March 25, 2015.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
