SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On April 3, 2015, the Department initiated an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on pencils from the PRC for the period 
December 1, 2013, through November 30, 2014, based on a self-request by 
Orient International Holding Shanghai Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. 
(SFTC).\1\ On April 23, 2015, SFTC timely withdrew its request for 
review.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 18202 (April 3, 2015).
    \2\ See letter from SFTC, re: ``Withdrawal of Review Request: 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order 
on Certain Cased Pencils from the PRC'' dated April 23, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(l), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the publication of the 
notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, SFTC 
withdrew its request within the 90-day deadline. No other party 
requested an administrative review of SFTC. Therefore, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the instant review with 
respect to SFTC.
    Because no other parties requested a review of this order for this 
period, we are rescinding the administrative review of the pencils 
order covering the period December 1, 2013, through November 30, 2014, 
in its entirety.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Because 
the Department is rescinding this administrative review in its 
entirety, the entries to which tis administrative review pertained 
shall be assessed antidumping duties 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.

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 double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a 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 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 in accordance with section 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 6, 2015.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Operations.
