SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 2, 2015, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of ``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' 
of the antidumping duty order on LRW from Korea for the POR.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 80 FR 5509 (February 2, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 11, 2015, in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), the 
Department received a timely request from LG Electronics, Inc. and its 
affiliate LG Electronics USA, Inc. (collectively, LG) to conduct a 
review of LG's sales and shipments to the United States during the POR. 
On February 26, 2015, Whirlpool Corporation, the petitioner, requested 
that the Department conduct an administrative review of the sales of 
LG, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (Samsung), and Daewoo Electronics 
Corporation (Daewoo).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See February 11 and 26, 2015, letters from LG and the 
petitioner, respectively, regarding request for administrative 
review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 3, 2015, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order

[[Page 55092]]

on LRW from Korea with respect to the above-named companies.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 18202 (April 3, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On May 29, 2015, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for a 
review of Samsung and Daewoo.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See May 29, 2015, letter from the petitioner regarding 
withdrawal of request for review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial 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 parties that 
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
petitioner's withdrawal request was filed before the 90-day deadline. 
Therefore, in response to the withdrawal of request for review of 
Samsung and Daewoo, and pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are 
rescinding this review with regard to these companies. The instant 
review will continue with respect to LG.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the 
companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall 
be assessed 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 directly to CBP 15 
days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only reminder to importers of their 
responsibility, under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2), to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. 
Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the presumption 
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred 
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as the only 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 return/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 published in accordance with section 751 of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
