SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 1, 2015, based on a timely request for review by Eramet 
Marietta, Inc. (Eramet) and Felman Production, LLC (Felman) 
(collectively, Petitioners), the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on silicomanganese from Venezuela covering the 
period May 1, 2014, through April 30, 2015.\1\ On August 25, 2015, 
Petitioners withdrew its request for an administrative review of all of 
the companies listed in its review request.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 37588 (July 1, 2015).
    \2\ See letter from Petitioners to the Secretary of Commerce 
entitled, ``Silicomanganese from Venezuela: Withdrawal of Request 
for Administrative Review of Antidumping Order,'' dated August 25, 
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 its request within 90 days of the publication of 
the notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, 
Petitioners timely withdrew its review request by the 90-day deadline, 
and no other party requested an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order. As a result, we are rescinding the 
administrative review of silicomanganese from Venezuela for the period 
May 1, 2014, through April 30, 2015.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Because 
the Department is rescinding this administrative review in its 
entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained 
shall be assessed antidumping duties 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 publication of this 
notice.

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 antidumping duties 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    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, 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 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: October 7, 2015.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duties.
