Rescission of 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. As noted 
above, Nucor withdrew its request for review by the 90-day deadline, 
and no other party requested an administrative review of this order. 
Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on wire rod from Brazil covering the period 
January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. 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). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of 
this notice in the Federal Register.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice 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/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.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: March 13, 2018.
