SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 18, 2015, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published in the Federal Register the antidumping duty order on certain
crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from the People's Republic of
China (PRC) (Order).\1\ On February 3, 2016, the Department published a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the
Order.\2\ The Department received multiple timely requests for an
administrative review of the Order. On April 7, 2016, in accordance
with section 751(a) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the
Department published in the Federal Register a notice of the initiation
of an administrative review of the Order.\3\ The administrative review
was initiated with respect to 27 companies or groups of companies, and
covers the period from July 31, 2014, through January 31, 2016.
Requesting parties have subsequently timely withdrawn all review
requests for 18 of the 27 companies or groups of companies for which
the Department initiated a review, as discussed below.

the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order; and Amended
Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and
Countervailing Duty Order, 80 FR 8592 (February 18, 2015).

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative
Review, 81 FR 5712, 5713 (February 3, 2016).

Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 20324 (April 7, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an
[[Page 61664]]
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. All
requesting parties withdrew their respective requests for an
administrative review of the 18 companies or groups of companies listed
in the Appendix to this notice within 90 days of the date of
publication of the Initiation Notice. Accordingly, the Department is
rescinding this review with respect to these companies, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).\4\ The administrative review will continue
with respect to all other firms for which a review was requested and
initiated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Appendix. As stated in Change in Practice in NME
Reviews, the Department will no longer consider the non-market
economy (``NME'') entity as an exporter conditionally subject to
administrative reviews. See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of
Change in Department Practice for Respondent Selection in
Antidumping Duty Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket
Economy Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963
(November 4, 2013) (``Change in Practice in NME Reviews''). The PRC-
wide entity is not subject to this administrative review because no
interested party requested a review of the entity. See Initiation
Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For
the companies for which this review is rescinded, 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
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only reminder to importers whose entries
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, 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 Secretary's assumption that
the reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (``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), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. 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 section
751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: August 31, 2016.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
