Background

request for administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PSF 
from the PRC for five companies.\1\ No other party requested an 
administrative review. On August 3, 2015, the Department published the 
notice of initiation of an administrative review of the order for the 
period of review June 1, 2014, through May 31, 2015.\2\ On September 8,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 or parties 
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the 
publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
As noted above, Petitioner withdrew its requests for administrative 
reviews within 90 days of the publication date of the notice of 
initiation. 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 
PSF from the PRC. 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 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 presumption that 
reimbursement of 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 an 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    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: December 9, 2015.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
