administrative review of exports of
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR with respect to 20
companies, in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.213(b).2 On January 6, 2021,
pursuant to this request, and in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce published a
notice initiating an administrative
review of the AD order on LWTP from
China.3 On March 26, 2021, Appvion
withdrew its request for an
administrative review with respect to all
companies for which it requested a
review.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 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.
Appvion timely submitted a request to
withdraw its request for an
administrative review for all companies
for which an administrative review was
initiated. No other party 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
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of LWTP from China.
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 in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to
issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 35 days after the
date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
