the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on honey from 
the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for December 1, 2014 through 
November 30, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On February 9, 2016, based on a timely request for review on behalf 
of the American Honey Producers Association and Sioux Honey Association 
(collectively, ``Petitioners''),\1\ 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, 2014, through November 30, 2015.\2\ The review covers three 
companies: Wuhu Haoyikuai Imp & Emp, Shanghai Sunbeauty Trading, and 
Shanghai Sha Mei Trade Co., Ltd.\3\ On March 14, 2016, Petitioners 
withdrew their requests for an administrative review on all 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 to the Secretary of Commerce from the American 
Honey Producers Association and Sioux Honey Association, ``Honey 
from the People's Republic of China: Request for Administrative 
Review'' (December 31, 2015).
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 6832 (February 9, 2016) (``Initiation 
Notice'').
    \3\ Id.
    \4\ See Letter to the Secretary of Commerce from Petitioners 
``Honey from the People's Republic of China: Petitioners Withdrawal 
of Requests for Administrative Review'' (March 14, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 of all three companies 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 the administrative review of honey 
from the PRC for the period December 1, 2014, through November 30, 
2015, in its entirety.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Because the Department is rescinding this administrative review in its 
entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained 
shall be assessed antidumping duties at rates equal to the

[[Page 22050]]

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.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Department confirmed with interested parties that 
``Shanghai Sunbeauty Trading'' is the same company as ``Shanghai 
Sunbeauty Trading Co., Ltd.,'' which is under review in an ongoing 
new shipper review (see Honey from the People's Republic of China: 
Initiation of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 81 FR 5710 
(February 3, 2016); see also Letter to the Secretary of Commerce 
from Petitioners ``Honey from the People's Republic of China: 
Response to the Department's February 25, 2016 Letter'' (February 
29, 2016)). Accordingly, we will instruct CBP to continue to suspend 
liquidation of entries exported by Shanghai Sunbeauty Trading Co., 
Ltd., until the conclusion of the new shipper review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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: April 6, 2016.
