Rescission of 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 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. All 
requesting parties withdrew their respective requests for an 
administrative review of the companies or groups of companies listed in 
the Appendix to this notice within 90 days of the date of publication 
of the Initiation Notice. Accordingly, the Department is rescinding 
this review, in part, with respect to these companies for which all 
review requests were withdrawn, in accordance with our practice \6\ and 
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).\7\ The administrative review will continue with 
respect to all other firms for which a review was requested and 
initiated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See, e.g., Certain Lined Paper Products from India: Notice 
of Partial Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 
2014, 81 FR 7082 (February 10, 2016).
    \7\ See Appendix. As stated in Change in Practice in NME 
Reviews, the Department will no longer consider the non-market 
economy (NME) 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 4, 2013) (Change in Practice in NME Reviews). The PRC-wide 
entity is not subject to this administrative review because no 
interested party requested a review of the entity. See Initiation 
Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall 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 publication of this notice.

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 prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's assumption that 
the reimbursement of 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 orders (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), 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 Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: July 27, 2017.
James Maeder,
Senior Director performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
