``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' of the antidumping

2017, the Department received timely requests to conduct an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on potassium

Changyuan.\2\ Based upon those requests, on March 15, 2017, in 
accordance with section 751(a) or the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), the Department published a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the Order \3\ covering the period January 1,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. Changyuan 
timely withdrew its review request and no other party requested a 
review of Changyuan. Accordingly, we are rescinding this review, in 
part, with respect to Changyuan, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1). This review will continue with respect to PAL.

Assessment

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company for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall be 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

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, 
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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double 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 return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751 
and 777(i)(l) of the and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 21, 2017.

Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
