SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On August 2, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on steel flanges from Italy for the period 
August 1, 2018, through July 31, 2019.\1\ On September 3, 2019, 
Weldbend Corporation and Boltex Manufacturing Co., L.P. (the 
petitioners) timely filed a request for review, in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 
CFR 351.213(b).\2\ Pursuant to this request and in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 
administrative review of 27 companies.\3\ On October 15, 2019, the 
petitioners timely filed a withdrawal of request for the administrative 
review with respect to all 27 companies.\4\

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 84 FR 37834 (August 2, 2019).
    \2\ See Letter from the petitioners, ``Finished Carbon Steel 
Flanges from ltaly: Petitioners' Request for 2018/2019 
Administrative Review,'' dated September 3, 2019.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 53411 (October 7, 2019).
    \4\ See Letter from the petitioners, ``Finished Carbon Steel 
Flanges from Italy: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated October 15, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. As 
noted above, the petitioners, the only party to file a request for 
review, withdrew their request by the 90-day deadline. Accordingly, we 
are rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order 
on steel flanges from Italy for the period August 1, 2018, through July 
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 steel flanges 
from Italy. 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 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 a reminder to importers whose entries will be 
liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, 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 doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to all 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. Timely written notification of 
the return/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 violation which is subject to 
sanction.
    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: November 12, 2019.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
