[[Page 35508]]

2016, through January 31, 2017.\1\ On April 10, 2017, in response to 
timely requests from, inter alia, Nucor Corporation 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 CTL plate from Korea with respect to 14 
companies.\2\ On July 10, 2017, Nucor Corporation timely withdrew its 
request for an administrative review for Bookuk Steel Co., Ltd., Daewoo 
International Corp., Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd., Hyundai Mipo Dockyard 
Co., Ltd., Hyosung Corporation, Samsung C&T Corp., Samsung C&T 
Engineering & Construction Group, Samsung C&T Trading and Investment

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 82 FR 9709 (February 8, 2017).
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 17188, 17194 (April 10, 2017).
    \3\ See Nucor Corporation's withdrawal of review request dated 
July 10, 2017. Because the 90th day from the publication of the 
Initiation Notice was Sunday, July 9, 2017, the actual due date for 
filing the withdrawal of review request was Monday, July 10, 2017. 
See 19 CFR 351.303(b)(1) (``For both electronically filed and 
manually filed documents, if the applicable due date falls on a non-
business day, the Secretary will accept documents that are filed on 
the next business day.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 
Nucor Corporation withdrew its review request in a timely manner, and 
because no other party requested a review of the 12 companies 
identified above, we are rescinding the administrative review in part 
with respect to these 12 companies.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
these 12 companies, for which the review is rescinded, antidumping 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: July 24, 2017.
James Maeder,
Senior Director performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
