SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 2, 2015, the Department published a notice of opportunity 
to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
SSB from Spain for the POR.\1\ On March 31, 2015, the petitioners \2\ 
requested an administrative review of the order with respect to Gerdau 
Aceros Especiales Europa, S.L. (Gerdau).\3\ On April 30, 2015, in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative 
review of the order on SSB with respect to Gerdau.\4\ On July 13, 2015, 
the petitioners timely withdrew their request for an administrative 
review of Gerdau.\5\

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review, 80 FR 11161 (March 2, 2015).
    \2\ Carpenter Technology Corporation, Crucible Industries EEC, 
Electralloy, a Division of G.O. Carlson, Inc., North American 
Stainless, Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc., and Valbruna 
Slater Stainless, Inc. (collectively, the petitioners)
    \3\ See Letter from the petitioners to the Department, 
``Stainless Steel Bar from Spain; Petitioners' Request for 2014/2015 
Administrative Review'' (March 31, 2015).

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

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review 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 the 90-day time limit. Because no other party 
requested a review of Gerdau, we are rescinding this administrative 
review of the order on SSB from Spain.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of SSB 
from Spain 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). The Department intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 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 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 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 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.
    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: July 28, 2015.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
