SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 1, 2016, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of ``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' of the 
antidumping duty order on drawn stainless steel sinks from the PRC for 
the POR (AD order).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 81 FR 18826 (April 1, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In April 2016, the Department received multiple timely requests to 
conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on drawn 
stainless steel sinks from the PRC.
    On June 6, 2016, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department published in the 
Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of 
the AD order.\2\ The administrative review was initiated with respect 
to 32 companies, and covers the period April 1, 2015, through March 31, 
2016. Subsequent to the initiation of the administrative review, the 
requesting parties timely withdrew their review requests for 19 of 
these companies, as discussed below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 36268 (June 6, 2016) (Initiation 
Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 a party that requested a 
review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of publication 
of notice of initiation of the requested review. All requesting parties 
withdrew their respective requests for an administrative review of the 
following companies within 90 days of the date of publication of the

[[Page 89896]]

Accordingly, the Department is rescinding this review, in part, with 
respect to these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 353.213(d)(1).\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Letter from Elkay Manufacturing Company (the petitioner) 
to the Department dated August 18, 2016. While the petitioner also 
submitted a letter on September 6, 2016, withdrawing its request for 
an administrative review of Guangdong Dongyuan Kitchenware 
Industrial Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Yingao Kitchen Utensils Co., 
Ltd., we note that other parties requested administrative reviews of 
these companies that were not withdrawn.
    \4\ As stated in Change in Practice in NME Reviews, the 
Department will no longer consider the non-market economy entity as 
an exporter conditionally subject to administrative reviews. See 
Antidumping Proceedings; Announcement of Change in Department 
Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings 
and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME 
Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 3, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The instant review will continue with respect to the following 
companies: B&R Industries Limited; Feidong Import and Export Co., Ltd.; 
Foshan Zhaoshun Trade Co., Ltd.; Guangdong Dongyuan Kitchenware 
Industrial Co., Ltd.; Guangdong New Shichu Import & Export Company 
Limited; Guangdong Yingao Kitchen Utensils Co., Ltd.; Jiangmen Hongmao 
Trading Co., Ltd.; Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech Enterprise Ltd.; KaiPing 
Dawn Plumbing Products, Inc.; Ningbo Afa Kitchen and Bath Co., Ltd.; 
Xinhe Stainless Steel Products Co., Ltd.; Yuyao Afa Kitchenware Co., 
Ltd.; and Zhongshan Superte Kitchenware Co., Ltd.

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 whose entries 
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties 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 duties 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
