opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty
order on uncovered innerspring units from the PRC.\1\ Pursuant to

Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. (``Goldon Malaysia''), Goldon International
(Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (``Goldon Singapore''), Macau Commercial and

On March 28, 2013, Petitioner withdrew its review request with

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial 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
[[Page 805]]
review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of the
notice of initiation of the requested review. In this segment,
Petitioner's withdrawals of its review requests of Tai Wa Hong, Macau
Commercial, and Goldon Singapore were submitted within the 90-day
deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of
these entities. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we
are rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order
on uncovered innerspring units from the PRC covering the period
February 1, 2012, through January 31, 2013, with respect to Tai Wa
Hong, Macau Commercial, and Goldon Singapore. However, the review will
continue with respect to the other entities for which a review was
requested and initiated (i.e., Goldon Malaysia and Ta Cheng).
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 to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice
of partial rescission of the administrative review.
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 presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
the administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the disposition 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 violation which
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: December 26, 2013.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
