SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On January 2, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD 
order on potassium permanganate from China for the period January 1, 
2017, through December 31, 2017.\1\ On January 26, 2018, in accordance 
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
and 19 CFR 351.213(b), Carus Corporation (the petitioner), requested a 
review of the AD order with respect to the following two companies: (1) 
Chongqing Changyuan Group Limited; and (2) Pacific Accelerator Ltd.\2\ 
On March 16, 2018, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated an administrative review of 
the AD order on potassium permanganate from China with respect to these 
companies.\3\ On March 28, 2018, the petitioner timely withdrew its 
request for an administrative review of both companies, Chongqing 
Changyuan Group Limited and Pacific Accelerator Ltd, named in the 
petitioner's Review Request.\4\ No other party requested a review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 83 FR 98 (January 2, 2018).
    \2\ See the petitioner's request for administrative review, 
``Potassium Permanganate from the People's Republic of China: 
Request for Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,'' dated January 
26, 2018 (Review Request).
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 83 FR 11685 (March 16, 2018).
    \4\ See the petitioner's withdrawal of administrative review 
request, ``Potassium Permanganate from the People's Republic of 
China: Withdrawal of Request for Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review,'' dated March 28, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. The petitioner 
withdrew its request for review within the 90-day deadline. Because 
Commerce received no other requests for review of the above-referenced 
companies, and no other requests were made for a review

[[Page 19215]]

of the AD order on potassium permanganate from China with respect to 
other companies, we are rescinding the administrative review covering 
the period January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2018, 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 potassium 
permanganate 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 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 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 the terms of an 
APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 26, 2018.
James Maeder,
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations, performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
