SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On May 1, 2018, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PSF 
from Korea for the POR of May 1, 2017, through April 30, 2018.\1\ On 
May 31, 2018, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213, Commerce received a timely-
filed request from DAK Americas LLC and Auriga Polymers, Inc. 
(collectively, the petitioners) for an administrative review of, among 
others, Huvis Corporation (Huvis).\2\ Also on May 31, 2018, Huvis 
Corporation (Huvis) requested an administrative review of its POR 
sales.\3\ On July 12, 2018, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), 
Commerce published a notice of initiation of an administrative review 
of Huvis.\4\ On July 17 and 18, 2018, respectively, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), both the petitioners and Huvis timely withdrew their 
requests for an administrative review of Huvis.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 83 FR 19047 (May 1, 2018).
    \2\ See Letter from the petitioners, ``Polyester Staple Fiber 
from Korea--Request for Annual Administrative Review'' (May 31, 
2018). The petitioners also requested an administrative review of 
Toray Chemical Korea, Inc. (Toray). However, the petitioners 
withdrew their request for Toray before the review was initiated. 
See Letter from the petitioners, ``Polyester Staple Fiber from 
Korea--Withdrawal of Review Request for Toray Chemical Korea'' (June 
26, 2018). Thus, a review was not initiated for Toray.
    \3\ See Letter from Huvis, ``Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from 
Korea; Request for Administrative Review for 2017-2018 Period'' (May 
31, 2018).
    \4\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 83 FR 32270 (July 12, 2018) (Notice of 
Initiation).

(July 17, 2018); see also Letter from Huvis, ``Certain Polyester 
Staple Fiber from Korea; Withdrawal of Request for Administrative 
Review for 2017-2018 Period'' (July 18, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(l), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party, or parties, 
that requested a review withdraw(s) the request(s) within 90 days of 
the publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review. As noted above, both the petitioners and Huvis withdrew their 
requests for review of Huvis within 90 days of the publication date of 
the notice of

[[Page 37472]]

initiation. No other parties requested an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on PSF from Korea. Therefore, in response to the 
timely withdrawal of requests for review and, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(l), Commerce is rescinding this review.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of PSF from Korea 
during the POR. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to 
the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time 
of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(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 a final 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 double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a final 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), which 
continues to govern the 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 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: July 27, 2018.

Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for
