Jkt 238001 Background On April 7, 2016, based on a timely request for review by M&B Metal Products Company, Inc. (Petitioner),1 the Department published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on steel wire garment hangers from Vietnam covering the period January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.2 The review covers 68 companies. On April 27, 2016, Petitioner withdrew their request for an administrative review on all 68 companies listed in the Initiation Notice.3 No other party requested a 1 See Letter from M&B Metal Products Company, Inc., ‘‘Steel Wire Garment Hangers from Vietnam: Request for Third Administrative Review,’’ (February 10, 2016). 2 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 20324 (April 7, 2016) (Initiation Notice). 3 See Letter from Petitioner, ‘‘Third Administrative Review of Steel Wire Garment PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 review of these producers and/or exporters of subject merchandise. 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 if the party that requested the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, Petitioner timely withdrew their request by the 90-day deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of the countervailing duty order. As a result, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding the administrative review of the countervailing duty order on steel wire garment hangers from Vietnam for the period January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015, in its entirety. Assessment The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. Because the Department is rescinding this administrative review in its entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained shall be assessed countervailing duties at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing 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. 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 countervailing 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 countervailing 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 Hangers from Vietnam—Petitioner’s Withdrawal of Review Request,’’ (April 27, 2016).
