SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 3, 2014, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the countervailing duty order on certain cut-to-length carbon 
quality steel plate from the Republic of Korea (Korea).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 79 FR 6159 (February 3, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to a request from Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. (DSM), the 
Department published in the Federal Register the notice of initiation 
of this countervailing duty administrative review with respect to DSM 
for the period January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2012.\2\ On April 
28, 2014, DSM withdrew its request for review in a timely manner.\3\ 
DSM was the only interested party to submit a request for this 
administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 79 FR 
18262 (April 1, 2014) (Initiation).
    \3\ See DSM's April 28, 2014, submission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of the 2013 Administrative 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. The 
Department published the Initiation on April 1, 2014.\4\ DSM's 
withdrawal of its review request was submitted within the 90-day period 
following the publication of the Initiation and, thus, is timely. 
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding 
this review of the countervailing duty order on certain cut-to-length 
carbon quality steel plate from Korea in its entirety.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. For 
the company for which this review is rescinded countervailing duties 
shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated 
countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 
warehouse, for consumption, during the period January 1, 2013, through 
December 31, 2013, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).
    The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.
