SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On November 1, 2018, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
coated paper from China.\1\ On November 30, 2018, Commerce received 
timely requests to conduct an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on coated paper from China from Verso Corporation, Sappi 
North America, Inc., and the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, 
Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers 
International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC (collectively, the petitioners).\2\ 
Based on this request, on February 6, 2019, in accordance with section 
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review covering the period November 1, 2017, through 
October 31, 2018 covering 15 producers/exporters.\3\ In the Initiation 
Notice, we noted that the deadline for parties to withdraw requests for 
administrative review was 90 days from the publication of the instant 
notice, i.e., May 7, 2019. On March 29, 2019, the petitioners timely 
submitted a request to withdraw its request for administrative review 
with respect to all companies identified in the Initiation Notice.\4\

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 83 FR 54912 (November 1, 2018).
    \2\ See letter from the petitioners, ``Administrative Review of 
the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Coated Paper Suitable for 
High-Quality Print Graphics Using Sheet-Fed Presses from the 
People's Republic of China (11/01/17-10/31/18),'' dated November 30, 
2018.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 2159 (February 6, 2019) (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. See 
memorandum to the Record from Gary Taverman, Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, 
performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, ``Deadlines Affected by 
the Partial Shutdown of the Federal Government,'' dated January 28, 
2019. Accordingly, the deadline for issuing the Initiation Notice 
was tolled by 40 days.
    \4\ See letter from the petitioners, ``Administrative Review of 
the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Coated Paper Suitable for 
High-Quality Print Graphics Using Sheet-Fed Presses from the 
People's Republic of China (11/01/17-10/31/18): Withdrawal of Review 
Request,'' dated March 29, 2019.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party or parties who 
requested the review withdraw(s) the request within 90 days

[[Page 15592]]

of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review. As explained above, the petitioners timely withdrew their 
request for an administrative review of all companies listed in the 
Initiation Notice by the 90-day deadline, and no other party requested 
a review of these companies. Accordingly, we are rescinding this review 
in its entirety, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.2013(d)(1).

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries of coated paper 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 the 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 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 the 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 an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under an 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/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: April 10, 2019.
James Maeder,
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations, performing the duties of the Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
