Background

    On September 1, 2020, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on steel racks from China for the period 
December 3, 2018, through December 31, 2019.\1\ On September 30, 2020, 
Nanjing Dongsheng Shelf Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Dongsheng), 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 Dongsheng.\3\ No other requests for review were received. On 
November 17, 2020, Dongsheng timely withdrew its request for an 
administrative review.\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, Dongsheng, the only party 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 
countervailing duty order on steel racks from China covering the period 
December 3, 2018, through December 31, 2019.

Assessment

    Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of 
steel racks from China. 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.

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 countervailing duties prior to 
liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure 
to comply with this requirement could result in the presumption that 
reimbursement of countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled countervailing 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: December 1, 2020.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
