SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 1, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD 
order on certain cold-rolled steel flat products from India for the 
period September 16, 2016, to December 31, 2016.\1\ On October 2, 2017, 
Commerce received a timely request, in accordance with section 751(a) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), from ArcelorMittal USA 
LLC, AK Steel Corporation, Nucor Corporation, Steel Dynamics, Inc., and 
United States Steel Corporation (collectively, the petitioners) to 
conduct an administrative review of this CVD order.\2\ Based upon this 
request, on November 13, 2017, in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Act, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation 
of administrative review for this CVD order.\3\ On December 6, 2017, 
the petitioners timely withdrew, in full, their request for an 
administrative review.\4\ No other party requested a review.\5\

    \5\ We note that Commerce exercised its discretion to toll all 
deadlines affected by the closure of the Federal Government from 
January 20 through 22, 2018. See Memorandum from Christian Marsh, 
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, 
performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.\6\

    \6\ 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

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 a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. As 
noted above, the petitioners withdrew their request for review by the 
90-day deadline. No other party requested an administrative review. 
Accordingly, we are rescinding the administrative review of the CVD 
order on certain cold-rolled steel flat products from India for the 
period September 16, 2016, to December 31, 2016.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal 
to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the 
time of entry, or

withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period September 
16, 2016, to December 31, 2016, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after 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 countervailing 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 countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled countervailing 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 an 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 violation which is 
subject to sanction. This notice is issued and published in accordance 
with sections 751 of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

     Dated: March 22, 2018.

Duty Operations, performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary
