Rescission of Review, in Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested the review withdraw their requests within 90 days of the date 
of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. All 
requesting parties withdrew their respective requests for an 
administrative review of the 60 companies or groups of companies listed 
in the Appendix to this notice within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the Initiation Notice. Accordingly, Commerce is 
rescinding this review with respect to these companies, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).\5\ The administrative review will continue 
with respect to all other firms for which a review was requested and 
initiated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Appendix. As stated in Change in Practice in NME 
Reviews, Commerce will no longer consider the non-market economy 
(NME) entity as an exporter conditionally subject to administrative 
reviews. See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in 
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity 
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013) 
(Change in Practice in NME Reviews). The China-wide entity is not 
subject to this administrative review because no interested party 
requested a review of the entity. See Initiation Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all subject merchandise exported by the 
companies listed in the Appendix to this notice that was entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period of review. 
The entries shall be assessed AD duties that are equal to the cash 
deposit of estimated AD 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 directly to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only reminder to importers whose entries 
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of AD 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 the 
AD duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled AD duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
an 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 sanctionable violation.
    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 31, 2018.

Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for
