SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 1, 2020, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on HR 
Steel from the Netherlands for the period October 1, 2019, through 
September 30, 2020.\1\ On November 2, 2020, AK Steel Corporation, Steel 
Dynamics Inc., SSAB Enterprises, LLC, Nucor Corporation, and United 
States Steel Corporation (the petitioners) timely requested an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order with respect to 
Tata Steel Ijmuiden BV.\2\ Commerce received no other requests for an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 85 FR 61926 (October 1, 2020).
    \2\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products 
from The Netherlands/Request For Administrative Review,'' dated 
November 2, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 HR Steel from 
the Netherlands with respect to Tata Steel Ijmuiden BV.\3\ On February 
19, 2021, the petitioners timely withdrew their administrative review 
request for Tata Steel Ijmuiden BV.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 78990 (December 8, 2020) (Initiation 
Notice).
    \4\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products 
from The Netherlands/Withdrawal Of Request For Administrative 
Review,'' dated February 19, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 petitioners 
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 HR Steel from the 
Netherlands for the period October 1, 2019, through September 30, 2020, 
in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries of HR Steel from the Netherlands during the POR at 
rates equal to the cash deposit 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 no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of 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

[[Page 14075]]

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: March 8, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
