Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils From Mexico: Rescission 
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: In response to a request from an interested party, the 
Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order covering stainless steel sheet and 
strip in coils from Mexico. The period of review is July 1, 2009, 
through June 30, 2010. Based on the withdrawal of request for review 
submitted by Allegheny Ludlum Corporation, North American Stainless, 
and AK Steel Corporation (collectively ``petitioners''), we are now 
rescinding this administrative review.

DATES: Effective Date: April 4, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Olga Carter, John Drury or Angelica 
Mendoza, AD/CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 
(202) 482-8221, (202) 482-0195 or (202) 482-3019 respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 1, 2010, the Department published a notice announcing an 
opportunity for interested parties to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in 
coils from Mexico. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review, 75 FR 38074 (July 1, 2010). On July 30, 2010, 
petitioners filed a request that the Department initiate an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel 
sheet and strip in coils from Mexico with respect to ThyssenKrupp 
Mexinox, S.A. de C.V. (``Mexinox''). Based on petitioners' request, on 
August 31, 2010, the Department published a notice of initiation of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel 
sheet and strip in coils from Mexico. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral of Initiation 
of Administrative Review, 75 FR 53274 (August 31, 2010).

Rescission of Review

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will 
rescind an administrative review, ``in whole or in part, if a party 
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the 
date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. 
The Secretary may extend this time limit if the Secretary decides that 
it is reasonable to do so.'' On March 21, 2011, petitioners withdrew 
their request for a review of the order with respect to Mexinox. 
Although the party submitted a letter withdrawing their review request 
after the 90-day regulatory deadline, the Department finds it is 
reasonable to extend the deadline for withdrawing the review request 
because it has not yet devoted significant time or resources to the 
review.
    Because of the withdrawal of the request for review and because we 
received no other requests for review, we are rescinding the 
administrative review of the order with respect to Mexinox. This 
rescission is in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
Mexinox, the 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). The Department intends to issue 
appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of 
this notice.

Notifications

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent

assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning destruction of proprietary information disclosed under an 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the 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 published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: March 28, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
