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\

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.

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