SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 3, 2015, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on washers from Korea covering the period 
January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.\1\ The review covers two 
companies: Daewoo Electronics Corporation (Daewoo) and Samsung 
Electronics Co., Ltd (Samsung). On May 29, 2015, Whirlpool Corporation 
(Petitioner) withdrew its request for a review of both Daewoo and 
Samsung.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 80 FR 
18202 (April 3, 2015) (Initiation). Samsung's name was misspelled in 
that notice and subsequently corrected in Initiation of Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 24233 (April 
30, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary 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. The 
Department published the initiation on April 3, 2015.\2\ Petitioner's 
withdrawal of its review request for both Daewoo and Samsung was 
submitted within the 90-day period following the publication of the 
Initiation and, thus, is timely.\3\ No other party requested an 
administrative review of this countervailing duty order. Therefore, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review of 
the countervailing duty order on washers from Korea.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Initiation.
    \3\ See Petitioner's May 29, 2015 letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) 
to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. Because the 
Department is rescinding this review in its entirety, the entries to 
which this administrative review pertained shall be assessed 
countervailing duties at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated 
countervailing 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 to 
CBP 15 days after the publication of this notice.

Notifications

    This notice 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, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of 
the APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with regulations and terms of an APO is a 
violation, which is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
