Partial Rescission of the 2018-2019 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. All of
the aforementioned withdrawal requests were timely submitted and no
other interested party requested an administrative review of these
particular companies. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), and consistent with our practice,\6\ we are rescinding
this review of the antidumping duty order on certain pasta from Italy,
in part, with respect to Aldino, Indalco, and Pasta Lensi.

Assessment
Commerce will instruct Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the companies
for which this review is rescinded, Aldino, Indalco, and Pasta Lensi,
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, during the period July 1,
2018, through June 30, 2019, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i).
Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
an 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/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).
