SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 2, 2015, the Department published the notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on wind towers from Vietnam for the POR.1On February 25, 2015, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the "Act"), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), the Department received a timely request from the Wind Tower Trade Coalition ("Petitioner") to conduct an administrative review.2

2 See Letter from Petitioner, "Utility Scale Wind Towers from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Request for Administrative Review," dated February 25, 2015.
Pursuant to this request and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), on April 3, 2015, the Department published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on wind towers from Vietnam.3On July 1, 2015, Petitioner withdrew its request for an administrative review.4

4 See Letter from Petitioner, "Utility Scale Wind Towers from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review," dated July 1, 2015.
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the publication date of the notice of initiation of review. As noted above, Petitioner withdrew its request for review within 90 days of the publication date of the Initiation Notice. No other parties requested an administrative review of the order. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review in its entirety.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of wind towers from Vietnam. 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)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of this notice of rescission of administrative review.
Notifications
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this review is being rescinded of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant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 Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders ("APO") of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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 published in accordance with section 751 of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: October 1, 2015.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
