from Mexico for the period October 9, 2019 through September 30, 
2020.\1\ On October 26, 2020, American Keg Company (the petitioner) 
timely requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order 
with respect to four exporters/producers.\2\ Commerce received no other 
requests for an administrative review of the antidumping duty order.

from Mexico: Request for Administrative Reviews,'' dated October 26,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 8, 2020, pursuant to section 751(a) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on kegs from Mexico 
with respect to the four companies listed in the petitioner's request 
for review.\3\ On December 14, 2020, Commerce released U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) import data to eligible parties and invited 
comments concerning selection of respondents for individual 
examination.\4\ On December 18, 2020, the petitioner timely withdrew 
its administrative review request for all four companies for which a 
review was requested: Cerveceria Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma S.A. de C.V., 
Europartners Mexico S.A. de C.V., Grupo de Intercambio Comercial S.A.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested a 
review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication 
of notice of initiation of the requested review. The petitioner 
withdrew their request for review within 90 days of the publication 
date of the Initiation Notice. No other parties requested an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order. Therefore, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the 
administrative review of the antidumping order on kegs from Mexico for 
the period October 9, 2019, through September 30, 2020, in its 
entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries of kegs from Mexico during the POR at rates equal 
to the cash deposit

[[Page 2639]]

rate 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 publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final 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 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 Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to 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 the 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: January 7, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
