2016.\1\ On July 31, 2017, the Department received a timely request 
from Zekelman Industries (the petitioner) to conduct an administrative 
review of this CVD order.\2\ Pursuant to this request and in accordance 
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), on 
September 13, 2017, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation of an administrative review of the CVD order on 
CWP covering the period of January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016, 
with respect to 20 individually-named companies.\3\ No other party

Rescission of Administrative Review

    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. The 
petitioner timely withdrew its request for an administrative review by 
the 90-day deadline. No other parties requested an administrative 
review of the order. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the administrative review of the CVD 
order on CWP from the PRC covering the period January 1, 2016, through 
December 31, 2016.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at 
rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing 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 to CBP 15 days 
after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protection Order

    This notice 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(a)(3). Timely 
written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
the 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 issued and published in accordance with sections 751 
of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: October 13, 2017.
