the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication date

other requests for review of the above-referenced company, and no other 
requests were made for a review of the antidumping duty order on 
electrolytic manganese dioxide from China with respect to other 
companies, we are rescinding the administrative review covering the

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to

deposit rate for estimated antidumping duties required at the time of

assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of 
this notice in the Federal Register.

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate

with this requirement could result in the presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition 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.
