SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On February 8, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on wind towers from Vietnam for the POR February 
1, 2018, through January 31, 2019.\1\ On February 26, 2019, in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), Commerce received a timely request 
from the Wind Tower Trade Coalition, (the petitioner) with respect to 
CS Wind Group, Vina Halla Heavy Industries Ltd., and UBI Tower Sole 
Member Company Ltd.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 84 FR 2816 (February 8, 2019).
    \2\ See Letter from the petitioner, ``Utility Scale Wind Towers 
from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated February 26, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to this request, and in accordance with section 751(a) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), on May 2, 2019, Commerce published 
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on wind towers from Vietnam with respect to these 
companies.\3\ On May 16, 2019, the petitioner timely withdrew its 
request for an administrative review of these companies.\4\ No other 
party requested a review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 18777 (May 2, 2019) (Initiation 
Notice).
    \4\ See Letter from the petitioner, ``Utility Scale Wind Towers 
from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Withdrawal of Request for 
Administrative Review,'' dated May 16, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication date 
of the notice of initiation of the requested review. As noted above, 
the petitioner withdrew its request for review within the 90-day of the 
publication date of the Initiation Notice. No other parties requested 
an administrative review of the order. Therefore, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review on wind towers from 
Vietnam covering the period February 1, 2018, through January 31, 2019, 
in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of wind towers 
from Vietnam during the February 1, 2018, through January 31, 2019 
period, at rates equal to the cash deposit rate for 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 the only 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 the presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern 
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. 
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 the terms of an 
APO is a sanctionable violation.
    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: September 9, 2019.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
