SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 2, 2015, the Department published the notice of 
opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on wind towers from Vietnam for the POR.\1\ On February 25, 2015, 
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 the Wind Tower Trade Coalition (``Petitioner'') to conduct 
an administrative review.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 80 FR 5509 (February 2, 2015).
    \2\ See Letter from Petitioner, ``Utility Scale Wind Towers from 
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated February 25, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to this request and in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i), on April 3, 2015, the Department published a notice 
of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order 
on wind towers from Vietnam.\3\ On July 1, 2015, Petitioner withdrew 
its request for an administrative review.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 18202 (April 3, 2015) (``Initiation 
Notice'').
    \4\ See Letter from Petitioner, ``Utility Scale Wind Towers from 
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Withdrawal of Request for 
Administrative Review,'' dated July 1, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 the request within 90 days of the publication date 
of the notice of initiation of review. As noted above, Petitioner 
withdrew its request for review within 90 days of the publication date 
of the Initiation Notice. No other parties requested an administrative 
review of the order. Therefore, in accordance with 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 of 
wind towers from Vietnam. 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 to CBP 15 days after the date 
of publication of this notice of rescission of administrative review.

Notifications

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers for whom 
this review is being rescinded 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.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (``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/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.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act, 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: October 1, 2015.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
