SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 1, 2019, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order \1\ on

2019, Commerce received timely requests from Metallurgical Products
Company (Metallurgical or the petitioner) and Bongsan Co., Ltd.
(Bongsan) in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), to conduct an
administrative review of this antidumping duty order with respect to
Bongsan.\3\

Duty Order, 82 FR 18893 (April 24, 2017).

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative

On June 13, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
notice of initiation of this antidumping duty administrative review
with respect to Bongsan.\4\ On July 23 and 24, 2019, Bongsan and the

Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 27587 (June 13, 2019) (Initiation
Notice).
\5\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Phosphor Copper from the Republic

24, 2019 (Petitioner's Withdrawal Request); see also Bongsan's

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
