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

Rescission of Administrative Reviews

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
a review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation. As stated above, Sanathan 
withdrew its requests for administrative reviews by the established 90-
day deadline and there were no other requests for review. As a result, 
Commerce is rescinding these reviews in their entirety, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping and countervailing duties on all appropriate entries 
at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping and 
countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 
warehouse, for consumption, during the periods July 1, 2019, through 
December 31, 2020 (AD), and May 3, 2019, through December 31, 2020 
(CVD), in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to 
issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 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 and countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. 
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the presumption 
that reimbursement of antidumping and countervailing duties occurred 
and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping and countervailing 
duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under 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 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 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)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 16, 2021.
