SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 3, 2016, the Department published the notice of
opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty
order on wind towers from Vietnam for the above POR.\1\ On February 23,
2016 and February 29, 2016, in accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.213(b),
the Department received a timely request from the Wind Tower Trade
Coalition (``Petitioner'') and CS Wind Vietnam Co., Ltd. (``CS Wind''),
respectively, to conduct an administrative review.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 81 FR 5712 (February 3, 2016).
\2\ See Letter from Petitioner, ``Utility Scale Wind Towers from
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated February 23, 2016; see also Letter from CS Wind,
``Request for Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on
Utility Wind Towers from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam,'' dated
February 29, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to these requests and in accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), on April 7, 2016, the Department published a notice
of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order
on wind towers from Vietnam.\3\ On July 6, 2016,
[[Page 72777]]
Petitioner and CS Wind withdrew their requests for an administrative
review.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 20324 (April 7, 2016) (``Initiation
Notice'').
\4\ See Letter from Petitioner, ``Utility Scale Wind Towers from
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated July 6, 2016; see also Letter from CS
Wind, ``Withdrawal of Review Request: Administrative Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order on Utility Scale Wind Towers from the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam,'' dated July 6, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 the request within 90 days of the publication date
of the notice of initiation of review. As noted above, all parties
withdrew their requests for review within 90 days of the publication
date of the Initiation Notice. No other parties requested an
administrative review of the order. Therefore, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review in its entirety.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of
wind towers from Vietnam. 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 the date
of publication of this notice of rescission of administrative review.
Notifications
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers for whom
this review is being rescinded 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 presumption that reimbursement of the
antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
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 APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. 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 which is subject to sanction.
This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: October 17, 2016.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
