SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 10, 2017, based on a timely request for review by M&B 
Metal Products Company, Inc. (the 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

[[Page 24107]]

covering the period January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016.\2\ The 
review covers 66 companies. On May 9, 2017, the petitioner withdrew its 
request for an administrative review on all 66 companies listed in the 
Initiation Notice.\3\ No other party requested a review of these 
producers and/or exporters of subject merchandise.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Letter from M&B Metal Products Company, Inc., ``Steel 
Wire Garment Hangers from Vietnam: Request for Fourth Administrative 
Review,'' dated February 17, 2017.
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 17188 (April 10, 2017) (Initiation 
Notice). The Department inadvertently listed the period of review as 
January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017, in the Initiation Notice.
    \3\ See Letter from the petitioner, ``Fourth Administrative 
Review of Steel Wire Garment Hangers from Vietnam--Petitioner's 
Withdrawal of Review Request,'' dated May 9, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 publication of 
the notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, the 
petitioner timely withdrew its 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, 
2016, through December 31, 2016, 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.

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), 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 18, 2017.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
