Background

    On January 24, 2012, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on Honey from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC'') covering the period December 1, 
2010, through November 30, 2011. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 77 FR 4759 (January 24, 2012).
    On April 16, 2012, the American Honey Producers Association and 
Sioux Honey Association (collectively ``Petitioners'') withdrew their 
request for an administrative review for the following companies: Anhui 
Honghui Foodstuff (Group) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Bloom International 
Trading Co., Ltd., Shanghai Taiside Trading Co., Ltd., Tianjin Eulia 
Honey Co., Ltd., and Wuhan Bee Healthy Co., Ltd. Petitioners were the 
only party to request a review of these companies.

Partial Rescission

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Petitioners' request was submitted within the 90 day period and, thus, 
is timely. Because Petitioners' withdrawal of requests for review is 
timely and because no other party requested a review of the 
aforementioned companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we 
are partially rescinding this review with respect to Anhui Honghui 
Foodstuff (Group) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Bloom International Trading Co., 
Ltd., Shanghai Taiside Trading Co., Ltd., Tianjin Eulia Honey Co., 
Ltd., and Wuhan Bee Healthy Co., Ltd.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We note that there are additional companies for which review 
requests were withdrawn within the 90 day period. See Letter to the 
Department from Petitioners, ``Honey from the People's Republic of 
China: Petitioners' Partial Withdrawal of Request for Tenth 
Administrative Review'' (April 16, 2012). However, because these 
companies do not have a separate rate from a prior segment of this 
proceeding, we intend to address the disposition of these withdrawal 
requests in the preliminary results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Anhui Honghui Foodstuff (Group) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Bloom International 
Trading Co., Ltd., Shanghai Taiside Trading Co., Ltd., Tianjin Eulia 
Honey Co., Ltd., and Wuhan Bee Healthy Co., Ltd., all have separate 
rates from a prior segment of this proceeding; therefore, 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)(2). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, 
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 the Secretary's 
presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a 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 terms of an APO 
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 25, 2012.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
