SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2020, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
certain pasta from Italy.\1\ Pursuant to requests from interested
parties, and in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, amended (the Act), Commerce published in the Federal Register the
notice of initiation of an antidumping duty administrative review with
respect to the following companies covering the period July 1, 2019,
through June 30, 2020: Agritalia S.r.l. (Agritalia); Armonie D'Italia
srl (Armonie D'Italia); F. Divella S.p.A. (F. Divella); La Molisana
S.p.A. (La Molisana); Liguori Pastificio dal 1820 S.p.A. (Pasta
Liguori); Pasta Castiglioni; Pasta Zara S.p.A. (Pasta Zara); Pastificio
C.A.M.S. Srl (Pastificio C.A.M.S.); Pastificio Della Forma S.r.l
(Pastificio Della Forma); Pastificio Fratelli De Luca S.r.l. (Fratelli
De Luca); and Rummo S.p.A. (Rummo).\2\

Review, 85 FR 39531 (July 1, 2020).

Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 54983 (September 3, 2020) (Initiation
Notice).

On December 2, 2020, Rummo timely withdrew its request to review

other party requested an administrative review of these parties.

\3\ See Rummo's Letter, ``Antidumping Duty Review of Certain
Pasta from Italy: The Rummo Group Withdrawal of Request for
Review,'' dated December 2, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission of the 2019-2020 Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The
aforementioned withdrawal request was timely submitted and no other
interested party requested an administrative review of Rummo and Pasta
Castiglioni. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), and
consistent with our practice,\4\ we are rescinding this review of the
antidumping duty order on certain pasta from Italy, in part, with
respect to Rummo and Pasta Castiglioni.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See, e.g., Certain Lined Paper Products from India: Notice
of Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and
Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 21781 (May 11, 2009); see also
Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from Thailand: Rescission of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 7218 (February 13,
2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The review will continue with respect to the following companies:
Agritalia, Armonie D'Italia, F. Divella, Ghigi/Zara,\5\ La Molisana,
Pasta Liguori, Pastificio C.A.M.S., Pastificio Della Forma, and
Fratelli De Luca.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Though Commerce initiated a review of Pasta Zara, because we
have collapsed Ghigi 1870 S.p.A. (Ghigi) and Pasta Zara
(collectively Ghigi/Zara) since the 2015-2016 administrative review,
both Ghigi and Pasta Zara continue to be subject to the review. See

Administrative Review; 2017-2018, 85 FR 2714 (January 16, 2020); see
also Certain Pasta from Italy: Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2016-2017, 83 FR 63627 (December 11, 2018);

Administrative Review; 2015-2016, 82 FR 57428 (December 5, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the companies
for which this review is rescinded, Rummo and Pasta Castiglioni,
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, during the period July 1,
2019, through June 30, 2020, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i).
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of this rescission 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 antidumping and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
an APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to
govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. 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.
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 26, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
