SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On May 1, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice 
of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD order on 
CTL plate from Taiwan for the POR.\1\ Commerce received a timely 
request from ArcelorMittal USA LLC, Nucor Corporation, and SSAB 
Enterprises, LLC (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 19 companies.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review, 84 FR 18479 (May 1, 2019).
    \2\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-
Length Plate from Taiwan--Petitioner's Request for 2018/2019 
Administrative Review,'' dated May 31, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 15, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation with respect to these companies.\3\ On October 8, 
2019, the petitioners timely withdrew their request for an 
administrative review for all 19 companies.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 33739 (July 15, 2019).
    \4\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-To-
Length Plate from Taiwan--Petitioner's Withdrawal of Review Request 
for 2018/2019 Administrative Review,'' dated October 8, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
petitioners withdrew their request for review before the 90-day 
deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of this 
order. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of the AD 
order on CTL plate from Taiwan covering the period May 1, 2018, through 
April 30, 2019, in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Because Commerce 
is rescinding this administrative review in its entirety, the entries 
to which this administrative review pertained 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 appropriate assessment instructions directly 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 may result in the presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice serves as the only reminder to 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(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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: October 24, 2019.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
