SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 1, 2012, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published in the Federal Register a notice of ``Opportunity to Request
Administrative Review'' of the antidumping duty order on certain orange
juice (OJ) from Brazil for a period of review (POR) of March 1, 2011,
through February 29, 2012.\1\

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative
Review, 77 FR 12559 (Mar. 1, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 30, 2012, 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 Southern Gardens Citrus
Processing Corporation (Southern Gardens), a domestic interested party,
to conduct an administrative review of the sales of the following
companies: Citrovita Agro Industrial Ltd. (Citrovita); Coinbra-Frutesp
S.A. (Coinbra Frutesp);
[[Page 30505]]
Fischer S.A. Comercio, Industria and Agricultura (Fischer); Montecitrus
Trading S.A. (Montecitrus); and Sucocitrico Cutrale Ltda. (Cutrale).
Southern Gardens was the only party to request this administrative
review.
On April 13, 2012, the International Trade Commission determined
that revocation of the antidumping duty order on OJ from Brazil would
not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury
to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable
time, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. Therefore, on April 20,
2012, the Department revoked the antidumping duty order on OJ from
Brazil effective March 9, 2011.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Orange
Juice From Brazil, 77 FR 23659 (Apr. 20, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 30, 2012, the Department published in the Federal Register
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on OJ from Brazil with respect to Citrovita, Coinbra
Frutesp, Cutrale, Fischer, and Montecitrus.\3\ As a result of the
revocation of the antidumping duty order, the POR of this
administrative review is March 1, 2011, through March 8, 2011. Id.

Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 77 FR
25401 (Apr. 30, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On May 11, 2012, Southern Gardens timely withdrew its request for
reviews of Citrovita, Coinbra Frutesp, Cutrale, Fischer, and
Montecitrus.
Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. Southern
Gardens withdrew its request for review before the 90-day deadline, and
no other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on OJ from Brazil for the POR. Therefore, in response to
Southern Garden's withdrawal of its request for review, and pursuant to
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department is rescinding in whole the
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on OJ from Brazil
for the period March 1, 2011, through March 8, 2011.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
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 directly to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only 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 Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only 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 return/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 published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: May 16, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
