SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on solar products from China for the POR

CFR 351.213(b), on February 25, 2019, Shenzhen Portable Electronic

groupings.\3\ On May 2, 2019, in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on solar products from China with

Inc. timely withdrew its request for a review of all 11 companies/

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

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. Shenzhen Portable 
and Suniva Inc. withdrew their requests for review within the 90-day 
deadline. Because Commerce received no other requests for review, and 
no other requests were made for a review of the antidumping duty order 
on solar products from China with respect to other companies, we are 
rescinding the administrative review covering the POR February 1, 2018, 
through January 31, 2019, in full, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1).

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of solar products 
from China during the period February 1, 2018, through January 31, 
2019, at rates equal to the cash deposit rates 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.
