Background

    On December 4, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD 
order on honey from China for the period December 1, 2016, through 
November 30, 2017.\1\ On January 2, 2018, in accordance with section 
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 
351.213(b), the American Honey Producers Association and Sioux Honey 
Association (the petitioners), requested a review of the AD order with 
respect to two companies.\2\ On February 23, 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 honey from China 
with respect to these companies.\3\ On April 27, 2018, the petitioners 
timely withdrew their request for an administrative review of all 
companies named in the petitioners' 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, 82 FR 57219 (December 4, 2017).
    \2\ See the petitioners' request for administrative review, 
``Honey from the People's Republic of China: Request for 
Administrative Review; 2016-2017,'' dated January 2, 2018 (Review 
Request).
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 83 FR 8058 (February 23, 2018).
    \4\ See the petitioners' withdrawal of administrative review 
request, ``Honey from the People's Republic of China--Petitioners' 
Withdrawal of Request for 2016/2017 Administrative Review,'' dated 
April 27, 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

[[Page 23417]]

review. The petitioners withdrew their 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 of the AD order on honey from China with respect to other 
companies, we are rescinding the administrative review covering the 
period December 1, 2016, through November 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 honey 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: May 15, 2018.
