Rescission of Review

administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party or parties

publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Armonie, CAMS, Colavita, and Fratelli withdrew their requests 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 CVD order on certain pasta from Italy 
covering January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019, in its entirety.

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.
