Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is rescinding its 
administrative review in part on small diameter graphite electrodes 
from the People's Republic of China (PRC) for the period of review 
(POR) February 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016.

DATES: Effective August 19, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dmitry Vladimirov or Michael Romani 
AD/CVD Operations Office I, Enforcement and Compliance, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution 
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-0665 and (202) 
482-0198, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On February 3, 2016, we published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on small 
diameter graphite electrodes from the PRC for the POR February 1, 2015 
through January 31, 2016.\1\ On April 7, 2016, in response to a timely 
request from the petitioners \2\ and in accordance with section 751(a) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on small diameter graphite electrodes from the 
PRC with respect to 196 companies.\3\ On July 6, 2016, the petitioners 
withdrew their request for an administrative review for 193 out of 196 
companies.\4\ See Appendix for a full list of these companies. No other 
party requested a review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 81 FR 5712 (February 3, 2016).
    \2\ SGL Carbon LLC and Superior Graphite Co (collectively, the 
petitioners). See letter from the petitioners to the Department, 
``7th Administrative Review of Small Diameter Graphite Electrodes 
from the People's Republic of China--Petitioners' Withdrawal of 
Certain Requests for Administrative Review'' (July 6, 2016) 
(Withdrawal Request).
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 20324 (April 7, 2016).
    \4\ See the petitioners' Withdrawal Request at Attachment 1. No 
withdrawal was requested for the Fangda Group, Fushun Jinly 
Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd., a.k.a. Fushun Jinli Petrochemical 
Carbon Co., Ltd., and Jilin Carbon Import and Export Company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review in Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, ``in whole or in part, 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.'' Because 
the petitioners timely withdrew their review request, and because no 
other party requested a review of the companies for which the 
petitioners requested a review, we are rescinding the administrative 
review, in part, with respect to 193 companies for which the 
petitioners originally sought a review.

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 the 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 to CBP within 15 
days after publication of this notice.

Notifications 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 may result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    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: August 15, 2016.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
