SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 3, 2018, the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) published a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain pasta
from Italy.1 Pursuant to requests from
interested parties, and in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, amended (the Act), Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
notice of initiation of an antidumping
duty administrative review with respect
to the following companies covering the
period July 1, 2017, through June 30,
2018:
Agritalia S.r.L. (Agritalia), Francesco

review of these particular companies.
Partial Rescission of the 2017–2018
Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the parties that requested a
review withdraw the request within 90
days of the date of publication of the
notice of initiation of the requested
review. All of the aforementioned
withdrawal requests were timely
submitted and no other interested party
requested an administrative review of
these particular companies. Therefore,
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), and consistent with our
practice,5 we are rescinding this review
of the antidumping duty order on
certain pasta from Italy, in part, with
respect to Tamma and La Molisana.
The instant review will continue with
respect to the following companies:
Agritalia, Ghigi/Zara,6 Indalco, and
Tesa.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. For the companies for which
this review is rescinded, Tamma and La
Molisana, 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, during the period July 1,
2017, through June 30, 2018, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i).
Commerce intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication
of this notice.
