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 publication of 
the notice of initiation of the requested review. Because the 
petitioner, ASPA, and the individual companies all withdrew their 
requests for administrative review within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the Initiation Notice, and no other interested party 
requested a review of these companies, the Department is rescinding 
this review with respect to these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1).\9\ The administrative review remains active with respect 
to all other companies for whom a review was initiated.

Co., Ltd., and Quoc Viet Seaproducts Processing Trade and Import-
Export Co., Ltd. (``Quoc Viet Co. Ltd.''); Seavina Joint Stock 
Company; Soc Trang Seafood Joint Stock Company (``STAPIMEX''); Viet 
I-Mei Frozen Foods Co., Ltd., and Viet I-Mei Frozen Foods Co. Ltd 
(``Viet I-Mei'').

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a rate 
equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at 
the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, 
during the period February 1, 2016, through January 31, 2017, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to 
issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date 
of 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).
