garment hangers from China.\1\ In October 2018, Commerce received 
timely requests to conduct administrative reviews of the antidumping 
duty order on steel wire garment hangers from China from the petitioner 
and Shanghai Wells Hanger Co., Ltd., and its two affiliates.\2\ Based 
upon these requests, on December 11, 2018, Commerce published a notice 
of initiation of an administrative review of the order covering the

the resumption of operations on January 29, 2019.\6\ If the new 
deadline falls on a non-business day, in accordance with Commerce's 
practice, the deadline will become the next business day. Accordingly, 
the revised deadline for the preliminary results of review is now 
August 12, 2019.

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

Partial Rescission

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
petitioner timely withdrew its review request, in part, and no other 
party requested a review of the companies for which the petitioner 
requested a review. Of the four companies for which the petitioner 
requested an administrative review, the petitioner withdrew its request 
for review of two companies, Hangzhou Qingqing Mechanical Co. Ltd. and 
Hangzhou Yingqing Material Co. Ltd. Accordingly, we are rescinding this 
review of steel wire garment hangers from China for the period October 
1, 2017, through September 30, 2018, in part, with respect to these 
entities, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
    This administrative review will continue with respect to Hong Kong 
Wells Ltd. and Shanghai Wells Hanger Co., Ltd.

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for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall be 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 October 1, 2017, to September 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 in the Federal Register, if appropriate.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, 
of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 
certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to 
liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure 
to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's 
presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under 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 or 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 25, 2019.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
