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

Rescission of the 2018-2019 Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
instant review was initiated on June 13, 2019. Bongsan withdrew its 
request for review on July 23, 2019, and the petitioner withdrew its 
request for a review on July 24, 2019, which is within the 90-day 
deadline. No other party requested an administrative review of this 
order. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are 
rescinding this review of the antidumping duty order on phosphor copper 
from the Republic of Korea in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of phosphor copper 
from Korea. 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, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of 
this notice of rescission of administrative review in the Federal 
Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers for whom 
this review is being rescinded of their responsibility under 19 CFR 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 double antidumping 
duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (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/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 section 
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 6, 2019.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
