SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 1, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on cold-rolled steel from India for the POR 
March 7, 2016, through August 31, 2017.\1\ On September 29, 2017, in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), AK Steel Corporation, ArcelorMittal 
USA LLC, Nucor Corporation, Steel Dynamics, Inc., and United States 
Steel Corporation (collectively, domestic interested parties), 
requested a review of the order with respect to 52 companies or company 
groupings.\2\ On November 13, 2017, in accordance with section 751(a) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on cold-rolled 
steel from India with respect to these companies.\3\ On February 12, 
2018, domestic interested parties timely withdrew their request for an 
administrative review of all companies named in their September 29, 
2017, Administrative Review Request.\4\ No other party requested a 
review.

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 82 FR 41595 (September 1, 2017).
    \2\ See letter, ``Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from India: 
Request for Administrative Review,'' dated September 29, 2017 
(September 29, 2017, Administrative Review Request).
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 52268 (November 13, 2017).
    \4\ See letter, ``Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from India: 
Withdrawal of Administrative Review Request,'' dated February 12, 
2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected by 
the closure of the Federal Government from January 20 through 22, 2018. 
If the new deadline falls on a non-business day, in accordance with 
Commerce's practice, the deadline will become the next business day.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Memorandum for The Record from Christian Marsh, Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, performing the 
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of 
the Federal Government'' (Tolling Memorandum), dated January 23, 
2018. All deadlines in this segment of the proceeding have been 
extended by 3 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce 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 date 
of the notice of initiation of the requested review. Domestic 
interested parties withdrew their request for review within the 90-day 
deadline. Because Commerce received no other requests for review of the 
above-referenced 52 companies, and no other requests were made for a 
review of the antidumping duty order on cold-rolled steel from India 
with respect to other companies, we are rescinding the administrative 
review covering the period March 7, 2016, through August 31, 2017, 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 cold-rolled 
steel from India during the POR at rates equal to the cash deposit rate 
for 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 the date of 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 antidumping 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 antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition 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 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: March 22, 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.
