SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 1, 2018, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
certain hot-rolled steel flat products (HR Steel) from the Netherlands
for the period of review (POR) of October 1, 2017, through September
30, 2018.\1\ On October 31, 2018, the petitioners, AK Steel
Corporation, Steel Dynamics Inc., SSAB Enterprises, LLC, ArcelorMittal
USA LLC, Nucor Corporation, and United States Steel Corporation,
requested an administrative review of the order with respect to Tata
Steel IJmuiden B.V. (TSIJ).\2\ On December 11, 2018, 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 HR Steel from the Netherlands with respect to TSIJ.\3\

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 83 FR 49358 (October 1, 2018).
\2\ See the petitioners' Letter, ``Re: Hot-Rolled Steel Flat
Products from the Netherlands/Request for Administrative Review,''
dated October 31, 2018.
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 83 FR 63615 (December 11, 2018) (Initiation
Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected by
the partial federal government closure from December 22, 2018, through
the resumption of operations on January 29, 2019.\4\ The revised
deadline for the preliminary results of this review is August 13, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Partial Shutdown
of the Federal Government,'' dated January 28, 2019. All deadlines
in this segment of the proceeding have been extended by 40 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 28, 2018, the petitioners timely withdrew their request
for an administrative review of TSIJ.\5\ No other party requested a
review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See the petitioners' Letter, ``Re Hot-Rolled Steel Flat
Products from the Netherlands/Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated March 28, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.'' In this
case, the petitioners withdrew their request for review within the 90-
day time limit. Because we received no other requests for review of
TSIJ, and no other requests for the review of the order on HR Steel
from the Netherlands with respect to other companies subject to the
order, we are rescinding this administrative review of the order in
full, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of HR
Steel products from the Netherlands 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
[[Page 15593]]
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: April 10, 2019.

Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations, performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
