Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary 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 the notice of initiation of the requested review. As
noted above, Petitioners withdrew their requests for review of Huvis,
Woongjin, and Saehan within 90 days of the date of publication of the
notice of initiation. Moreover, Huvis and Woongjin timely withdrew
their requests for an administrative review of their respective
companies. 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 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 to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of
this notice of rescission of administrative review.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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
[[Page 54563]]
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice 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). 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 Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: August 29, 2012.
