Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party or parties 
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the 
publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Norris withdrew its request for review of BTIC, Langfang Tianhai High 
Pressure Container, and Tianjin Tianhai High Pressure Container, and 
BTIC withdrew its request for review of itself. Both parties withdrew 
their requests within 90 days of the publication date of the notice of 
initiation. No other parties requested an administrative review of the 
order. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are 
rescinding this review in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of HPSC from 
China. Countervailing duties shall be assessed 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). Commerce intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of 
this notice in the Federal Register.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to all 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. 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.
    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).

    Dated: October 21, 2019.
