SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 1, 2020, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on cold-rolled steel flat products from Japan 
for the period July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020.\1\ On July 29, 
2020, Nucor Corporation, Steel Dynamics, Inc., and United States Steel 
Corporation (collectively, ``Domestic Interested Parties''), filed a 
timely 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 the 20 companies named by the Domestic Interested Parties in their 
request for review.\3\ No other requests for review were received. On 
October 21, 2020, the Domestic Interested Parties timely withdrew their 
request for an administrative review with respect to all 20 
companies.\4\

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, Domestic Interested Parties, the only parties to file a 
request for review, withdrew this request by the 90-day deadline. 
Accordingly, we are rescinding, in its entirety, the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on cold-rolled steel flat products 
from Japan covering the period July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of cold-rolled 
steel flat products from Japan. 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 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

[[Page 74981]]

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 19, 2020.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
