Background

    On May 1, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice 
of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from 
Austria for the period May 1, 2018, through April 30, 2019.\1\ On May 
31, 2019, voestalpine B[ouml]hler Edelstahl GmbH & Co KG and 
voestalpine B[ouml]hler Bleche GmbH & Co KG (collectively, 
voestalpine), producers/exporters of certain carbon and alloy steel 
cut-to-length plate, filed a timely request for review, in accordance 
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
and 19 CFR 351.213(b).\2\ Pursuant to this request, and in accordance 
with section 751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we 
initiated an administrative review of voestalpine.\3\ On July 30, 2019, 
voestalpine filed a timely withdrawal of request for the administrative

Administrative Review,'' dated May 31, 2019.

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

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 that requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. As 
noted above, voestalpine, the only party to file a request for review, 
withdrew its request by the 90-day deadline. Accordingly, we are 
rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Austria for the 
period May 1, 2018, through April 30, 2019, in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of certain carbon 
and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Austria. 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 in the Federal 
Register.

Notification to Importers

    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 antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to all parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 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 sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 22, 2019.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
