Background

    On October 4, 2017, Commerce published a notice of ``Opportunity to 
Request Administrative Review'' of the antidumping order on steel wire 
garment hangers from China.\1\ In October 2017, Commerce received 
timely requests to conduct administrative reviews of the antidumping 
duty order on steel wire garment hangers from China from the petitioner 
and Shanghai Wells Hanger Co., Ltd., and its two affiliates.\2\ Based 
upon these requests, on December 7, 2017, Commerce published a notice 
of initiation of an administrative review of the order covering the 
period October 1, 2016, to September 30, 2017.\3\ Commerce initiated 
the administrative review with respect to 20 companies.\4\ On December 
18, 2017, the petitioner withdrew its request for an administrative 
review of 17 companies.\5\

Partial Rescission

    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 notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
petitioner timely withdrew its review request, in part, and no other 
party requested a review of the companies for which the petitioner 
requested a review. Out of the 18 companies for which the petitioner 
requested an administrative review, the petitioner withdrew its 
requests for review of 17 companies, which are listed in the Appendix 
to this notice.\6\ Accordingly, we are rescinding this review of steel 
wire garment hangers from China for the period October 1, 2016, through 
September 30, 2017, in part, with respect to these entities, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ As stated in Change in Practice in NME Reviews, Commerce 
will no longer consider the non-market economy (NME) entity as an 
exporter conditionally subject to administrative reviews. See 
Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in Department 
Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings 
and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME 
Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This administrative review will continue with respect to Shanghai 
Wells.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the companies 
for which this review is rescinded, 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 directly to CBP 15 
days after publication of this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, 
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 Secretary's 
presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a 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, 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751 
and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 19, 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.
