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
review and a request for rescission of the administrative review.\4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
