Download as PDF 17718 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 63 / Thursday, April 2, 2015 / Notices 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 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 publication of this notice in the Federal Register, if appropriate. 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 Department’s presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 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 sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4). Dated: March 27, 2015.

    On December 18, 2012, in the U.S. District Court, Southern District 
of Florida, Ivon Castaneda (``Castaneda''), was convicted of violating 
Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778 (2012)) 
(``AECA''). Specifically, Castaneda conspired, knowingly and willfully 
attempted to export defense articles, that is AR-15/M-16 firearm 
barrels, receivers, components, parts, and accessories, from the United 
States to Honduras without having first obtained a license or written 
approval from the U.S. Department of State. Castaneda was sentenced 37 
months of imprisonment, two years of supervised release and fined a 
$200 assessment.
    Section 766.25 of the Export Administration Regulations (``EAR'' or 
``Regulations'') \1\ provides, in pertinent part, that ``[t]he Director 
of the Office of Exporter Services, in consultation with the Director 
of the Office of Export Enforcement, may deny the export privileges of

Security Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 783(b)), or section 38 of the Arms
