SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On May 2, 2016, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on certain polyester staple fiber (PSF) 
from the Republic of Korea (Korea) for the period of review (POR) of 
May 1, 2015, through

[[Page 65343]]

April 30, 2016 in the Federal Register.\1\ On May 31, 2016, the 
Department received timely-filed requests from DAK Americas LLC and 
Auriga Polymers (the petitioners), and Huvis Corporation (Huvis), in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), for an administrative review of 
Huvis.\2\ On July 7, 2016, pursuant to these requests and in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department published a notice of 
initiation of an administrative review of Huvis.\3\ On July 12, 2016, 
and July 26, 2016, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the petitioners 
and Huvis, respectively, timely withdrew their requests for an 
administrative review.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review, 81 FR 26206 (May 2, 2016).
    \2\ See Letters from the petitioners, ``Polyester Staple Fiber 
from Korea,'' and Huvis, ``Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from 
Korea; Request for Administrative Review for 2015-2016 Period,'' 
both dated May 31, 2016. The petitioners also requested a review of 
Toray Chemical Korea, Inc. (Toray); because the petitioners withdrew 
this request before the initiation notice was published, and there 
were no other requests for a review of Toray, the Department did not 
initiate a review of Toray. See Letter from the petitioners, 
``Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from Korea; Withdrawal of Review 
Request for Toray Chemical Korea,'' dated June 27, 2016.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 44260 (July 7, 2016) (Initiation 
Notice).
    \4\ See Letter from the petitioners, ``Polyester Staple Fiber 
From Korea--Withdrawal of Review Request,'' dated July 12, 2016, and 
letter from Huvis, ``Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from Korea; 
Withdrawal of Review Request for 2015-2016 Period,'' dated July 26, 
2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(l), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party, or parties, 
that requested a review withdraw the request/s within 90 days of the 
publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
As noted above, the petitioner withdrew its request for review of Huvis 
within 90 days of the publication date of the notice of initiation. In 
addition, Huvis also timely withdrew its request for an administrative 
review. No other parties requested an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain polyester staple fiber from the 
Republic of Korea. Therefore, in response to the timely withdrawal of 
requests for review and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(l), the 
Department is rescinding this review.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of PSF 
from Korea during the POR. 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)(l)(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 presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    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 an 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(l) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: September 16, 2016.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
