1930, as amended (the Act), on May 2, 2018, Commerce initiated an 
administrative review of the CVD order on OTR tires from India.\3\ On 
May 24, 2018, and June 12, 2018, Balkrishna and ATC, respectively, each 
timely withdrew its request for an administrative review.\4\ No other 
party requested an administrative review.

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, or parties, 
that requested the review withdraw(s) its request(s) for review within 
90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the 
requested review. In this case, both Balkrishna and ATC each timely 
withdrew its request for review within the 90-day deadline, and no 
other party requested an administrative review of the CVD order. 
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is 
rescinding this administrative review in its entirety.

Assessment

    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 OTR tires from India during the period June 20, 2016, 
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
