SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 1, 2011, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice announcing the opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain hot-
rolled carbon steel flat products from India for the period December 1, 
2010, through November 30, 2011. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 
Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review, 76 FR 74773, 74774 (December 1, 2011).
    On December 30, 2011, and January 3, 2012, Nucor Corporation and 
U.S. Steel Corporation (collectively, ``Petitioners'') timely requested 
that the Department conduct an administrative review of Essar Steel 
Limited (``Essar''), Ispat Industries Limited (``Ispat''), JSW Steel 
Limited (``JSW''), and Tata Steel Limited (``Tata''). Pursuant to these 
requests and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department 
published a notice initiating the administrative review of Essar, 
Ispat, JSW, and Tata. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 77 FR 
4759 (January 31, 2012).
    On January 31, 2012, the Department placed on the record and 
invited interested parties to comment on U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (``CBP'') data, which the Department stated it would use for 
respondent selection in the instant review. See Memorandum to the File 
from George McMahon, Senior International Trade Analyst, through 
Melissa Skinner, Office Director, concerning ``Certain Hot Rolled 
Carbon Steel Flat Products from India: Customs and Border Protection 
Data for Selection of Respondents for Individual Review,'' dated 
January 31, 2012. We received no comments from interested parties on 
the CBP data.
    On February 1, 7, 14, and 15, 2012, JSW, Tata, Essar, and Ispat, 
respectively, submitted letters informing the Department that they did 
not make shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during 
the period of review.
    On March 7, 2012 and March 29, 2012, respectively, Nucor 
Corporation and U.S. Steel Corporation timely withdrew their respective 
requests for review of Essar, Ispat, JSW, and Tata.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested a review withdraw the

[[Page 25405]]

request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of 
initiation of the requested review. As noted above, Petitioners 
withdrew their respective requests for review of Essar, Ispat, JSW, and 
Tata within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of 
initiation. Moreover, no other interested party requested an 
administrative review of these respondents. Therefore, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) and consistent with our practice, we are 
rescinding this review with respect to Essar, Ispat, JSW, and Tata, and 
in its entirety.\1\

    \1\ See, e.g., Certain Lined Paper Products From India: Notice 
of Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 
Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 21781, 21783 (May 11, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries. For Essar, Ispat, JSW, and Tata, 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 the date of publication of 
this notice of rescission of administrative review.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also 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 and/or countervailing duties prior to 
liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure 
to comply with this requirement could result in the presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and 
the subsequent increase in antidumping duties by the amount of 
antidumping and/or countervailing duties reimbursed.

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 disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
an APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable violation.
    This notice is issued and 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: April 24, 2012.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
