SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 4, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on electrolytic manganese dioxide from China for 
the POR October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2017.\1\ On October 31, 
2017, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), Duracell, Inc. (the 
petitioner), requested a review of the order with respect to Shenzhen 
Pengcheng South Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen Pengcheng).\2\ 
On December 7, 2017, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated an administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on electrolytic manganese dioxide from China 
with respect to this company.\3\ On February 5, 2018, Duracell timely 
withdrew its request for an administrative review of Shenzhen 
Pengcheng.\4\ No other party requested a review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 82 FR 46217 (October 4, 2017).
    \2\ See Letter from Duracell, ``Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide 
from the People's Republic of China: Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated October 31, 2017.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 57705 (December 7, 2017) (Initiation 
Notice).
    \4\ See Letter from Duracell, ``Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review of Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide from the People's Republic 
of China: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated 
February 5, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected by 
the closure of the Federal Government from January 20 through 22, 2018. 
If the new deadline falls on a non-business day, in accordance with 
Commerce's practice, the deadline will become the next business day.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Memorandum for The Record from Christian Marsh, Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, performing the 
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of 
the Federal Government'' (Tolling Memorandum), dated January 23, 
2018. All deadlines in this segment of the proceeding have been 
extended by 3 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication date 
of the notice of initiation of the requested review. Duracell withdrew 
its request

[[Page 13255]]

for review within the 90-day deadline. Because Commerce received no 
other requests for review of the above-referenced company, and no other 
requests were made for a review of the antidumping duty order on 
electrolytic manganese dioxide from China with respect to other 
companies, we are rescinding the administrative review covering the 
period October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2017 in full, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of electrolytic 
manganese dioxide from China during the POR at rates equal to the cash 
deposit rate for 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). Commerce intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of 
this notice in the Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only 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 review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
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 sanctionable violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

     Dated: March 22, 2018.

Duty Operations, performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary
