SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 3, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain pasta from Turkey for the POR.\1\ 
Commerce received a timely request from Dakota Growers Pasta Company, 
Riviana Foods, Inc. (formerly New World Pasta Company) and Treehouse 
Foods, Inc. (formerly, The American Italian Pasta Company) 
(collectively, the petitioners), in accordance with section 751(a) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), to 
conduct an administrative review of this antidumping duty order.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 82 FR 30833 (July 3, 2017).
    \2\ See Letter from the petitioners, ``Request for 2016-2017 
Administrative Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain 
Pasta from Turkey,'' dated July 31, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 42974, 42982 (September 13, 2017).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
petitioners withdrew their request for review by the 90-day deadline, 
and no other party requested an administrative review of this order. 
Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on pasta from Turkey covering the period July 1, 
2016, through June 30, 2017.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Antidumping 
duties shall be assessed at rates 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). 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 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 may result in the presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice serves as the only 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 published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of 
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: March 26, 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.
