Partial 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 that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Because all requests for an administrative review of Oriental Cherry 
Hardware Group., Ltd., Youngwoo Fasteners Co., Ltd., China Staple 
Enterprise Co., Ltd., Faithful Engineering Products Co., Ltd., and 
Promising Way (Hong Kong) Ltd. were withdrawn within 90 days of the 
date of publication of the Initiation Notice, and no other interested 
party requested a review of these companies, Commerce is rescinding 
this review with respect to these companies in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1). The administrative review remains active with respect to 
all other companies for which a review was initiated.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to 
the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time 
of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the 
period August 1, 2019 through July 31, 2020, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to 
CBP no earlier than 35 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 Orders

    This notice also 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(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 
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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    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).
