Partial Rescission of Review

parties withdrew their review requests with respect to all but four 
companies or company groupings for which Commerce initiated this review 
\4\ by the 90-day deadline, and no other party requested an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order for these 
companies. Therefore, Commerce is rescinding this review, in part, with

until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a preliminary 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 double antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
