SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 4, 2017, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
pencils from China for the POR December 1, 2016, through November 30, 
2016.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 82 FR 57219 (December 4, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 29, 2017, Dixon Ticonderoga Company (the petitioner) 
requested an administrative review of the order with respect to entries 
of subject merchandise made by Shandong Rongxin Import & Export Co., 
Ltd. (Rongxin), Wah Yuen Stationery Co. Ltd., and any affiliated 
entities including but not limited to Shandong Wah Yuen Stationery Co. 
Ltd. and Tianjin Tonghe Stationery Co. Ltd. (collectively, the Wah Yuen 
entity).\2\ On January 2, 2018, Orient International Holding Shanghai 
Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. (SFTC) requested an administrative review of 
itself.\3\ On February 23, 2018, in accordance with section 751(a) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review with respect to 
(1) Rongxin, (2) the Wah Yuen entity, and (3) SFTC.\4\ On April 9, 
2018, SFTC withdrew its request for an administrative review.\5\ On May 
23, 2018, the petitioner withdrew its request for an administrative 
review of Rongxin and the Wah Yuen entity.\6\ No other party requested 
an administrative review of this order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Certain Cased Pencils from the 
People's Republic of China: Request for Administrative Review,'' 
dated December 29, 2017.
    \3\ See SFTC's Letter, ``Request for Administrative Review of 
the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Cased Pencils from the 
People's Republic of China, A-570-827,'' dated January 2, 2018.
    \4\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 83 FR 8058 (February 23, 2018) (Initiation 
Notice).
    \5\ See SFTC's Letter, ``Orient International Holding Shanghai 
Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.'s Withdrawal of Request for Review: 
Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Cased Pencils 
from the People's Republic of China,'' dated April 9, 2018.
    \6\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Certain Cased Pencils from the 
People's Republic of China: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated May 23, 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 of 
the notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, SFTC 
and the petitioner timely withdrew their requests by the 90-day 
deadline and no other party requested an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on pencils from China for the POR 
December 1, 2016, through November 30, 2017, in its entirety, 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 pencils from 
China during the POR at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of 
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 Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 violation which 
is subject to sanction.
    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).
