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 date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In 
this case, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for review within 
the 90-day deadline, and no other party requested an administrative 
review of the countervailing duty order. As a result, pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on utility scale wind towers from China for 
the period January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2017, in its entirety.

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. Because 
Commerce is rescinding this administrative review in its entirety, 
entries of utility scale wind towers from China during the period 
January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2017, shall be assessed 
countervailing duties at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated 
countervailing 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 publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
