request.\5\ On May 3, 2019, the petitioner and ASPA withdrew their
respective review requests, in part.\6\ On May 3, 2019, various

\6\ See the Petitioner's Submission, ``Domestic Producers'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of
the notice of initiation of the requested review. Because the
petitioner, ASPA, and the individual companies all withdrew their
requests for administrative review within 90 days of the date of
publication of the Initiation Notice, and no other interested party
requested a review of these companies, Commerce is rescinding this
review with respect to the companies identified in the Appendix, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to
the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time
of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the
period February 1, 2018, through January 31, 2019, 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, if appropriate.
Notifications
This notice serves as a reminder to importers 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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
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(a)(3), 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.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
