Partial Rescission of Administrative Review and Rescission of New Shipper Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an administrative review, "in whole or in part, if a party that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review." The CPA withdrew its request for an administrative review, covering six companies of the seven companies for which it requested a review, within the 90-day time limit, and Hubei Zhenghe withdrew its request for an administrative review and new shipper review within the 90-day time limit. Because we received timely withdrawal requests from the CPA and Hubei Zhenghe, we are partially rescinding the administrative review with respect to China Kingdom, Deyan Aquatic, Nanjing Gemsen, Shanghai Ocean Flavor, Xuzhou Jinjiang, Yancheng Hi-King and Hubei Zhenghe, and rescinding the new shipper review of Hubei Zhenghe with respect to the order. This rescission is in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Accordingly, the Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after publication of this notice.
Notifications
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 Department's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a 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 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).
