SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On January 30, 2013, the Department initiated an administrative review of hot rolled steel from India covering the period December 1, 2011, through November 30, 2012, based on a request by United States Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel) and Nucor Corporation (Nucor).1 The review covers eight companies.2 Nucor and U.S. Steel withdrew their requests for an administrative review of these companies on April 12, 2013, and April 25, 2013, respectively. 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 its request within 90 days of the publication of the Initiation Notice. In this case, U.S. Steel and Nucor withdrew their requests within the 90-day deadline and no other parties requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of hot rolled steel from India covering the period December 1, 2011, through November 30, 2012, of the eight companies listed in the Initiation Notice. Assessment The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all entries of hot rolled steel from India during the period of review. Because the Department is rescinding this administrative review in its entirety, the entries to which this 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 AGENCY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:06 Jul 03, 2013 Jkt 229001 1 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 6291 (January 30, 2013) (Initiation Notice). 2 See id., 78 FR 6292.

The information which the Department examined was consistent with that provided by Qingshui and Merry in their requests.7 Period of Review Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(c), an exporter or producer may request an NSR within one year of the date on which its subject merchandise was first entered.

    It is the Department's usual practice, in cases involving non-
market economies, to require that a company seeking to establish 
eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the country-wide 
rate (i.e., a separate rate) provide evidence of de jure and de facto 
absence of government control over the company's export activities.\10\ 
Accordingly, the Department will issue questionnaires to Qingshui and 
Merry that include a separate rate section. These reviews will proceed 
if the responses provide sufficient indication that the exporter and 
producer are not subject to either de jure or de facto government 
control with respect to their exports of fresh garlic.

importer, the posting, until the completion of the review, of a bond or 
security in lieu of a cash deposit for certain entries of the subject 
merchandise from Qingshui and Merry in accordance with section
