SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Department initiated an administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on hot-rolled steel from India covering the 
period January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, based on requests by 
United States Steel Corporation (``U.S. Steel'') and Nucor Corporation 
(``Nucor'').\1\

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 
6291 (January 30, 2013) (``Initiation Notice''), as corrected in 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 25418, 25422 (May 
1, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    U.S. Steel and Nucor withdrew their requests for an administrative 
review in their entirety on April 12, 2013, and April 25, 2013, 
respectively.

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 its request within 90 days of the publication of 
the notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, U.S. 
Steel and Nucor withdrew their requests within the 90-day deadline and 
no other parties requested an administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order. Therefore, we are rescinding the 
administrative review of hot-rolled steel from India covering the 
period January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, in its entirety.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess countervailing duties on all entries of hot-rolled 
steel from India during the period of review at rates equal to the cash 
deposit of estimated countervailing 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 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 countervailing duties prior to 
liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period.
    This notice also 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 APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 that is 
subject to sanction.
    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: June 27, 2013.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
