SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 3, 2015, we published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
diamond sawblades from the PRC for the POR November 1, 2014, through 
October 31, 2015.\1\ On January 7, 2016, in response to timely requests 
from the petitioner \2\ and Husqvarna (Hebei) Co., Ltd. (Husqvarna) and 
in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades from the PRC 
with respect to 36 companies, including Husqvarna.\3\ On April 12, 
2016, the petitioner and Husqvarna withdrew their requests for

an administrative review for Husqvarna.\4\

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review, 80 FR 67706 (November 3, 2015).
    \2\ The petitioner in this review is Diamond Sawblades 
Manufacturers' Coalition.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 736 (January 7, 2016).
    \4\ See the letters of withdrawals of requests for review from 
the petitioner and Husqvarna dated April 12, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 27, 2016, the Department exercised its discretion to 
toll its administrative deadlines due to the closure of the Federal 
Government.\5\ Thus, the deadline for withdrawing a request for an 
administrative review was extended by four business days to April 12, 
2016.\6\ Therefore, the withdrawals of the review requests filed on 
April 12, 2016, with respect to Husqvarna in this administrative review 
were timely.

    \5\ See Memorandum to the Record from Ron Lorentzen, Acting 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, regarding 
``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As a Result of the Government 
Closure During Snowstorm `Jonas''' dated January 27, 2016.
    \6\ See the memorandum to the File entitled ``Diamond Sawblades 
and Parts Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Telephone 
Conversation Concerning Deadline for Withdrawing Review Request'' 
dated April 1, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review in Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, ``in whole or in part, if a party that requested 
a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.'' Because 
the petitioner and Husqvarna withdrew their review requests in a timely 
manner, and because no other party requested a review of Husqvarna, we 
are rescinding the administrative review in part with respect to 
Husqvarna.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
Husqvarna, for which the review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall 
be assessed at the 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 appropriate assessment instructions to 
CBP within 15 days after publication of this notice.

Notifications to Importers

    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 may result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
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 the 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 Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 18, 2016.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
