Accordingly, we made no changes to the Preliminary Results. Scope of the Order The tissue paper products subject to this order are cut-to-length sheets of tissue paper having a basis weight not exceeding 29 grams per square meter. Tissue paper products subject to this order may or may not be bleached, dyecolored, surface-colored, glazed, surface decorated or printed, sequined, crinkled, embossed, and/or die cut. The tissue paper subject to this order is in the form of cut-to-length sheets of tissue paper with a width equal to or greater than one-half (0.5) inch. Subject tissue paper may be flat or folded, and may be packaged by banding or wrapping with paper or film, by placing in plastic or film bags, and/or by placing in boxes for distribution and use by the ultimate consumer.

Final Determination of No Shipments In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Chung Rhy did not have any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. As we have not received any information to contradict our preliminary finding, we determine that Chung Rhy did not have any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR and we intend to issue appropriate instructions that are consistent with our ‘‘automatic assessment’’ clarification, for these final results.3 Methodology Commerce has conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Global Key was ineligible for a separate rate and is part of the China-wide entity, subject to the China-wide entity rate of 112.64 percent.4 As we have not received any information since the issuance of the Preliminary Results that provides a basis for reconsidering this determination, we continue to find that Global Key is ineligible for a separate rate. 2 On January 30, 2007, at the direction of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Commerce added the following HTSUS classifications to the AD/CVD module for tissue paper: 4802.54.3100, 4802.54.6100, and 4823.90.6700. However, we note that the six-digit classifications for these numbers were already listed in the scope. 3 See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (Assessment Notice); see also ‘‘Assessment Rates’’ section below. 4 See Preliminary Results, 82 FR at 55349, and Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 4.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 4, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from 
Brazil for the period October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2017.\1\ 
On October 30, 2017, Commerce received a timely request, in accordance 
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), to 
conduct an administrative review of this antidumping duty order with 
respect to five companies and their affiliates from Nucor Corporation 
(Nucor), a domestic producer of carbon wire rod products.\2\ Based on 
this request, and in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act, 
Commerce published a notice of initiation of the review in the Federal 
Register on December 7, 2017, in which we initiated reviews of the 
following companies: ArcelorMittal Brasil SA, Siderurgica Norte Brasil 
SA, Sinobras, Villares Metals SA, and Votorantim Siderurgica.\3\ On 
January 31, 2018, Nucor filed a timely withdrawal of its request for a

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected by 
the closure of the federal government from January 20 through January 
22, 2018. If the new deadline falls on a non-business day, in 
accordance with Commerce's practice, the deadline will become the next 
business day. If we were not rescinding this review, the revised 
deadline for the preliminary results of review would be July 6, 2018.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. As noted 
above, Nucor withdrew its request for review by the 90-day deadline. 
Accordingly, in response to the timely filed withdrawal of the request 
for review and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are 
rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Brazil covering the period 
October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2017.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 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). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a 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

[[Page 11966]]

of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a 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). 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.

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
