Background

    On July 3, 2018, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) published a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain pasta from Italy.\1\ Pursuant to 
requests from interested parties, and in accordance with section 751(a) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, amended (the Act), Commerce published in the 
Federal Register the notice of initiation of an antidumping duty 
administrative review with respect to the following companies covering 
the period July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission of the 2017-2018 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. All of 
the aforementioned withdrawal requests were timely submitted and no 
other interested party requested an administrative review of these 
particular companies. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), and consistent with our practice,\5\ we are rescinding 
this review of the antidumping duty order on certain pasta from Italy, 
in part, with respect to Tamma and La Molisana.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See, e.g., Certain Lined Paper Products from India: Notice 
of Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 
Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 21781 (May 11, 2009); see also

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

was formerly known as Ghigi Industria Agroalimentare in San Clemente 
S.r.l. We also collapased Ghigi 1870 S.p.A. and Pasta Zara S.p.A. 
(collectively, Ghigi/Zara). See Certain Pasta From Italy:

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for which this review is rescinded, Tamma and La Molisana, antidumping 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, during the period July 1, 
2017, through June 30, 2018, 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 a reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing 
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping 
duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
an 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/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(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: February 14, 2019.
