SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 1, 2017, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain cold-rolled steel flat products (CR Steel) from the U.K. for 
the period of review (POR) March 7, 2016, through August 31, 2017.\1\ 
On October 2, 2017, the petitioners, AK Steel Corporation, Steel 
Dynamics Inc., ArcelorMittal USA LLC, Nucor Corporation, and United 
States Steel Corporation, requested an administrative review of the 
order with respect to Caparo Precision Strip, Ltd., and Liberty 
Performance Steels Ltd.\2\ On November 13, 2017, 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 
order on CR Steel from the U.K. with respect to Caparo Precision Strip, 
Ltd., and Liberty Performance Steels Ltd.\3\ On February 6, 2018, the 
petitioners timely withdrew their request for an administrative review 
of Caparo Precision Strip, Ltd., and Liberty Performance Steels Ltd.\4\ 
No other party requested a review.

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 82 FR 41595 (September 1, 2017).
    \2\ See the petitioners' Letter, ``Re: Cold-Rolled Steel Flat 
Products from the United Kingdom: Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated October 2, 2017.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 52268 (November 13, 2017) (Initiation 
Notice). In the Initiation Notice, Commerce stated that it had 
previously determined that Liberty Performance Steels Ltd. is the 
successor-in-interest to Caparo Precision Strip, Ltd. See Initiation 
Notice at footnote 5.
    \4\ See the petitioners' Letter, ``Re Cold-Rolled Steel Flat 
Products from the United Kingdom: Withdrawal of Request for 
Administrative Review,'' dated February 6, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce 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.'' The 
petitioners withdrew their request for review within the 90-day time 
limit. Because we received no other requests for review of Caparo 
Precision Strip, Ltd., and Liberty Performance Steels Ltd., and no 
other requests for the review of the order on CR Steel from the U.K. 
with respect to other companies subject to the order, we are rescinding 
the administrative review of the order in full, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of CR Steel 
products from the U.K. during the POR at rates equal to the cash 
deposit rate 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). Commerce intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after 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 Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    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: February 14, 2018.
James Maeder,
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations, performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
