SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 23, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD
order on wire rod from Turkey for the period September 5, 2017 through
December 31, 2018.\1\ On May 31, 2019, Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane ve
Ulasim Sanayi A.S. (Icdas), a producer and exporter of wire rod, 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 Icdas.\3\ On August 2, 2019, Icdas filed a timely withdrawal of
request for 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, Icdas, 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 CVD order on wire rod from
Turkey for the period September 5, 2017 through December 31, 2018.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess CVD duties on all appropriate entries of wire rod from Turkey.
CVD duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated CVD 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 CVD 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 CVD duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled CVD
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 28, 2019.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
