SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 13, 2017, based on a timely request for review on 
behalf of the American Honey Producers Association and Sioux Honey 
Association (collectively, petitioners),\1\ the Department published in 
the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on honey from the PRC covering the period 
December 1, 2015, through November 30, 2016.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Letter to the Secretary from Petitioners, entitled, 
``Honey from the People's Republic of China--Request for 
Administrative Review; 2015-2016,'' dated January 3, 2017.
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 10457 (February 13, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The review covers two companies: Shanghai Sunbeauty Trading Co., 
Ltd. and Shayang Xianghe. On February 28, 2017, petitioners timely 
withdrew their request for an administrative review of Shayang 
Xianghe.\3\ No other party requested an administrative review of this 
company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Letter to the Secretary from Petitioners, entitled, 
``Honey from the People's Republic of China--Petitioners' Withdrawal 
of Request for 2015/2016 Administrative Review, in Part,'' dated 
February 28, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial 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 date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In 
this case, petitioners timely withdrew their request of Shayang Xianghe 
by the 90-day deadline, and there are no other outstanding requests for 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order with respect to 
this company. As a result, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are 
rescinding the administrative review of honey from the PRC for the 
period December 1, 2015, through November 30, 2016, in part, with 
respect to Shayang Xianghe.

Assessment Instructions

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the 
company for

[[Page 14504]]

which this review is rescinded, Shayang Xianghe, 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 publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register, if appropriate.

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(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: March 15, 2017.

Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
