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 the party or parties 
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the 
publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
As noted above, requests for review were withdrawn, and parties 
withdrew their requests within 90 days of the publication date of the 
notice of initiation. Therefore, in accordance with 1 9 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review with respect to Tesa, La 
Fabbrica, GR.A.M.M., Labor, Afeltra, Zaffiri, and Andalini. The 
administrative review will continue with respect to Liguori.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of 
certain pasta from Italy. For the companies for which this review is 
rescinded, countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to 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 the date 
of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

Notifications

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (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). 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 sanctionable 
violation.

751(a)(l) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
