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 the notice of initiation of the requested review. As 
noted above, the petitioner withdrew its request for review by the 90-
day deadline. No other party requested an administrative review. 
Accordingly, we are rescinding the administrative review of the CVD 
order on steel nails from Vietnam covering the period January 1, 2016, 
to December 31, 2016.

Assessment

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

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of countervailing duties prior to 
liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure 
to comply with this requirement could result in the presumption that 
reimbursement of the countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled countervailing duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under an APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 
written notification of the return/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 of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: November 13, 2017.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping/Countervailing Duty 
Operations Enforcement and Compliance (E&C).
