certain hot-rolled steel flat products (HR Steel) from the Netherlands

Nucor Corporation, and United States Steel Corporation, requested an 
administrative review of the order with respect to Tata Steel IJmuiden

[[Page 13233]]

(TSIJ).\2\ On December 7, 2017, in accordance with section 751(a) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of the order on 
HR Steel from the Netherlands with respect to TSIJ.\3\ Commerce 
exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected by the closure 
of the Federal Government from January 20 through 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.\4\ On March 
12, 2018, the petitioners timely withdrew their request for an 
administrative review of TSIJ.\5\ No other party requested a review.

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

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review ``in whole or in part, if a party that requested 
a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.'' The 
petitioners withdrew their request for review within the 90-day time 
limit. Because we received no other requests for review of TSIJ, and no 
other requests for the review of the order on HR Steel from the 
Netherlands, we are rescinding the administrative review of the order 
in full, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of HR Steel 
products from the Netherlands during the POR at rates equal to the cash 
deposit rate 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 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 Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
