with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
and 19 CFR 351.213(b).\3\ No other parties requested an administrative

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party, or parties, 
that requested a review withdraws the requests within 90 days of the 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. As 
noted above, Ester withdrew its request for review by the 90-day 
deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of this 
order. Therefore, in response to the timely withdrawal of the request 
for review, and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 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. 
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 appraisement 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the 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 POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Department's 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 the only 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(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

[[Page 43526]]

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

    Dated: September 12, 2017.

Senior Director performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
