SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 1, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD 
order on PET film from the UAE.\1\ Commerce received a timely request 
from DuPont Teijin Film, Mitsubishi Polyester Film, Inc., and SKC Inc. 
(collectively, the petitioners), 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 AD order for Flex Middle East 
FZE (Flex).\2\ No other party requested an administrative review of 
this order. Pursuant to the review request filed by the petitioners, 
and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), on February 6, 2019, 
Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review covering Flex.\3\ On May 3, 2019, the petitioners 
timely withdrew their request for an administrative review of Flex.\4\

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party, or parties, 
that requested a review withdraw the request/s within 90 days of the 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. As 
noted above, the petitioners withdrew their request for review by the 
90-day deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review 
of this order. Therefore, in response to the timely withdrawal of the 
request for review, and, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 
Commerce is rescinding this administrative review in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 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 assessment instructions to 
CBP 15 days after the publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of ADs prior to liquidation of the relevant 
entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could 
result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of ADs occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of double ADs.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 
written notification of the return or 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 sanctionable 
violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 771(i)(1) of 
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 29, 2019.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
