Background

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 1, 2015, the Department published a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on silicomanganese from India for the POR.\1\ 
Petitioners,\2\ in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), filed a request for 
an antidumping duty administrative review of two companies: Nava Bharat 
Ventures Limited (Nava) and Universal Ferro and Allied Chemicals, Ltd. 
(Universal).\3\ Subsequently, on July 1, 2015, the Department published 
a notice of initiation of administrative review with respect to Nava 
and Universal.\4\ Nava filed a letter on July 8, 2015, with the 
Department stating that it had no shipments during the POR.\5\ 
Accordingly, the Department sent a no shipment inquiry to U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection (CBP) on July 15, 2015, requesting a response 
within 10 days if there was any information indicating that Nava had 
shipments during the POR. The Department did not receive any 
notification from CBP that Nava had shipments during the POR. On August 
25, 2015, Petitioners withdrew their request for an antidumping duty 
administrative review of Nava.\6\

Partial 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 the review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Petitioners' August 25, 2015 withdrawal request was submitted within 
the 90-day period and thus is timely. Because Petitioners' withdrawal 
of their requests for review is timely and because no other party 
requested a review of Nava, we are rescinding this review with respect 
to this company, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). As the 
request for an administrative review for Nava was the only request 
withdrawn, the instant review will continue with respect to Universal.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries. For Nava, the company for which this review is 
rescinded, antidumping duties shall be assessed at a rate equal to the 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 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of 
this notice.

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 may result in the presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    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(a)(3). 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 sanctionable 
violation.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 751 
of Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 2, 2015.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
