SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On January 2, 2020, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PC 
Strand from Thailand for the period January 1, 2019, through December 
31, 2019.\1\ On January 31, 2020, The Siam Industrial Wire Co., Ltd. 
(SIW), a respondent interested party, filed a timely request for review 
with respect to itself.\2\ Based on this request, on March 10, 2020, in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), Commerce published in the Federal 
Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review covering 
the period January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019.\3\ On March 9, 
2020, SIW submitted a timely request to withdraw its request for 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PC Strand from 
Thailand.\4\

Rescission of 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 the review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. As noted 
above, SIW fully withdrew its request by the 90-day deadline, and no 
other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order. As such, Commerce is in receipt of a timely request for 
withdrawal of the instant administrative review with

[[Page 20469]]

respect to the only company listed in the Initiation Notice. 
Accordingly, we are rescinding the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on PC Strand from Thailand for the period 
January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Because Commerce 
is rescinding this review in its entirety, the entries to which this 
administrative review pertained shall be assessed at a rate 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 the date of 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final 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, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. 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 the terms of an 
APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 7, 2020.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
