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 of the date 
of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Hindustan Inox, Sun Mark, and the petitioners timely withdrew their 
requests for an administrative review, and no other party requested a 
review of these companies. Therefore, we are rescinding the 
administrative review of the CVD order on WSPP from India covering the 
period January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2017, in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. Because 
Commerce is rescinding this administrative review in its entirety, the 
entries to which this administrative review pertains shall be assessed 
countervailing duties that are equal to the cash deposits of estimated 
countervailing 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.

administrative protective order (APO) of their
