publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
As noted above, all parties withdrew their requests for review within

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 date 
of publication of this notice of rescission of administrative review.

written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or 
conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure
