SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 1, 2020, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the AD order on cold-rolled steel 
flat products from Brazil for the POR September 1, 2019, through August 
31, 2020.\1\ Commerce received timely-filed requests for an 
administrative review from Nucor Corporation and United States Steel 
Corporation (collectively, the Domestic Interested Parties), in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act),

[[Page 79472]]

and 19 CFR 351.213(b).\2\ Commerce received no other requests for 
administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 85 FR 54349 (September 1, 2020).
    \2\ See the Domestic Interested Parties' Letter, ``Cold-Rolled 
Steel Flat Products from Brazil: Request for Administrative Review 
of Antidumping Duty Order,'' dated September 30, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On October 30, 2020, pursuant to these requests and in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce published a notice initiating an 
administrative review of the AD order on cold-rolled steel flat 
products from Brazil.\3\ On November 25, 2020, the Domestic Interested 
Parties withdrew their request for an administrative review of all 
companies for which they had requested a review.\4\

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. 
As noted above, the Domestic Interested Parties withdrew their requests 
for review of all companies within 90 days of the publication date of 
the notice of initiation. No other parties requested an administrative 
review of the order. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the administrative review of the AD 
order on cold-rolled steel flat products from Brazil covering September 
1, 2019, through August 31, 2020, in its entirety.

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 Brazil during the POR. 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 the only 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 the presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as the only 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(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or 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 sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    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 4, 2020.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
