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

other party requested an administrative review of these parties.

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 
Certain Pasta from Italy: Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
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); 
and Certain Pasta from Italy: Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
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.
