Partial Rescission of the First Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. This 
review was initiated on December 30, 2011. See Initiation Notice. 
Petitioners withdrew their request for a review of Nacobre, IUSA and 
Hong Kong GD Trading Co., Ltd. on February 6, 2012, which is within the 
90-day deadline. While no other party requested an administrative 
review of IUSA, we received other requests for review of Nacobre and 
Hong Kong GD Trading Co., Ltd. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), and consistent with our practice, we are rescinding this 
review only with respect to IUSA.\4\ The review will continue with 
respect to Nacobre, GD Affiliates, and Hong Kong GD Trading Co., Ltd.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries. For IUSA, 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, during the period November 22, 2010, through October 31, 
2011, 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.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a 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 the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
increase in the amount of antidumping duties assessed.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (``APOs'') 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/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 Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: February 15, 2012.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
