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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
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.
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.
