SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 7, 2016, based on a timely request for review by M&B Metal 
Products Company, Inc. (Petitioner),\1\ the Department published in the 
Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of 
the countervailing duty order on steel wire garment hangers from 
Vietnam covering the period January 1, 2015 through December 31, 
2015.\2\ The review covers 68 companies. On April 27, 2016, Petitioner

    \1\ See Letter from M&B Metal Products Company, Inc., ``Steel 
Wire Garment Hangers from Vietnam: Request for Third Administrative 
Review,'' (February 10, 2016).
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 20324 (April 7, 2016) (Initiation

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

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 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, Petitioner timely withdrew their request by the 90-day 
deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order. As a result, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on steel wire garment hangers from Vietnam 
for the period January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015, in its 
entirety.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing 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 countervailing duties at rates equal to the cash 
deposit of estimated countervailing 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 in the Federal Register.

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 countervailing 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 countervailing 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(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business

proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. 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 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: May 5, 2016.
