SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On December 31, 2014, based on a timely request for review \1\ by 
the American Honey Producers Association and Sioux Honey Association 
(collectively, ``Petitioners''), the Department published in the 
Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on honey from the PRC covering the period 
December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014.\2\ The review covers three 
companies.\3\ On March 17, 2015, Petitioners withdrew their request for 
an administrative review on all the three companies listed in the 
Initiation Notice.\4\ No other party requested a review of these 
companies or any other exporters of subject merchandise.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Letter from Petitioners, Honey from the People's 
Republic of China: Request for Thirteenth Administrative Review, 
dated December 31, 2014.
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 6041, 6044 (February 4, 2015) 
(``Initiation Notice'').
    \3\ The three companies are: Dongtai Peak Honey Industry Co.,

    \4\ See Letter from Petitioners, Thirteenth Administrative 
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Honey from the PRC: 
Petitioners' Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review, dated 
March 17, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department 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 of 
the notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, 
Petitioners timely withdrew their request by the 90-day deadline, and 
no other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order. As a result, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are 
rescinding, in its entirety, the administrative review of honey from 
the PRC for the period December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries. Because the Department is rescinding this 
administrative review in its entirety, the

[[Page 17718]]

entries to which this administrative review pertained shall be assessed 
antidumping duties at rates equal to the cash deposit 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). 
The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to 
CBP 15 days after the publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register, if appropriate.

Notifications

    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 the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    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.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: March 27, 2015.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
