SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 3, 2014, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on LWTP from Germany for the period of 
review (POR) November 1, 2013, to October 31, 2014.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review, 79 FR 65176 (November 3, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 1, 2014, in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), the 
Department received a timely request from Appvion Inc. (the 
petitioner), a domestic interested party, to conduct an administrative 
review of the POR sales of Papierfabrik August Koehler SE (Koehler). 
Also on this date, Koehler timely requested a review of its POR sales.
    On December 23, 2014, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on LWTP from Germany with respect to Koehler.\2\ 
On January 7, 2015, Koehler withdrew its request for review.\3\ On 
January 30, 2015, as a result of a five-year (``sunset'') review, the 
Department revoked the antidumping duty order on imports of LWTP from 
Germany, effective November 24, 2013.\4\ Therefore, the POR for this 
administrative review was revised to November 1, 2013, through November 
23, 2013.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Administrative Reviews, 79 FR 76956 (December 23, 2014).

(January 30, 2015).
    \5\ See February 10, 2015, Memorandum to the File regarding 
revision of POR due to revocation of antidumping duty order.

    On February 20, 2015, the petitioner withdrew its request for 
review of Koehler.\6\

Rescission of Administrative Review

    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 withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Koehler and the petitioner withdrew their requests for review before 
the 90-day deadline (i.e., March 23, 2015), and no other party 
requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
LWTP from Germany for the POR. Therefore, in response to the timely 
withdrawal of requests for review and pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 
the Department is 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. 
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 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 the return or 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.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of 
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 1, 2015.
Gary Taverman,
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
