# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On December 4, 2017, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD order on CVP-23 from India for the period of review (POR) January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016.[1]                                          On                           ( print page 41060)                        December 5, 2017, Commerce received a timely-filed request to conduct an administrative review of the CVD order from Pidilite Industries Limited (Pidilite).[2]                                          Based on this request, and in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce initiated an administrative review of the CVD order on CVP-23 from India.[3]                                          On March 16, 2018, Pidilite timely withdrew its request for an administrative review.[4]                                          No other party requested an administrative review.                

## 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 for review within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, Pidilite timely withdrew its request for review within the 90-day deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of the CVD order. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding this administrative review in its entirety.

## Assessment

                    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. Because Commerce is rescinding this administrative review in its entirety, entries of CVP-23 from India during the period January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016, shall be assessed countervailing duties at rates equal to the cash deposit of 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). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication of this notice in the                     **Federal Register**                    .                

## 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 return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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.

This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Dated: August 13, 2018.
