Pidilite, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b).\2\

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 or parties 
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the 
publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Pidilite withdrew its request for review within the requisite 90 days. 
No other parties requested an administrative review of the order. 
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding 
this review in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of CVP-23 from 
India. Countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the 
cash deposit of estimated countervailing 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.

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
