issued a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of 
this order for the period of review (``POR'') September 19, 2008,

    On June 30, 2010, the Department published the notice of initiation 
of this countervailing duty administrative review, covering the 56

Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 37759

    Because Petitioners withdrew their request of the Rescinded

are rescinding the review of the Rescinded Companies. This

Union.

Assessment Instructions

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. 
For the Rescinded Companies, countervailing duties shall be assessed at 
rates equal to the cash deposit or bonding rate of the estimated 
countervailing 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 
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.
    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).
