accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended

Partial 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 that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication date 
of the notice of initiation of the requested review.
    Because Nucor Tubular's request for review, for 12 companies, was 
withdrawn within the 90-day deadline, and no other interested party 
requested a review of these 12 companies, we are rescinding this review 
with respect to these 12 companies. The administrative review remains 
active with respect to the seven remaining companies for which a review 
was initiated, i.e., Maquilacero S.A. de C.V.; Nacional de Acero S.A. 
de C.V.; Perfiles LM, S.A. de C.V.; Productos Laminados de Monterrey 
S.A. de C.V.; Regiomontana de Perfiles y Tubos S.A. de C.V.; 
Regiomontana de Perfiles y Tubos S. de R.L. de C.V.; and Ternium Mexico 
S.A. de C.V.\8\

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of LWRPT from 
Mexico at a rate

[[Page 5136]]

equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated antidumping duties required 
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, 
during the period August 1, 2019 through July 31, 2020, 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    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: January 12, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
