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

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. PAL was 
the only remaining respondent in this administrative review, PAL timely 
withdrew its request for review, and no other party requested a review 
of PAL. Further, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) and as a result of 
the rescission with respect to PAL and the prior rescission with 
respect to Changyuan, we are rescinding the administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on potassium permanganate from the PRC 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 antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Because 
the Department is rescinding this administrative review in its 
entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertain shall 
be assessed antidumping duties 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.

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

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

[[Page 28044]]

regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to 
sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: June 15, 2017.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
