SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 3, 2020, the Commerce published in the Federal Register 
a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty (AD) order on coated paper from China.\1\ Commerce 
received a timely-filed request from Verso Corporation (Verso), a 
domestic interested party and the petitioner in the underlying 
investigation, for an administrative review of exports of subject 
merchandise to the United States during the period of review (POR) with 
respect to 15 companies, in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.213(b).\2\ On 
January 6, 2021, pursuant to this request, and in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce published a notice in the Federal 
Register initiating an administrative review of the AD order on coated 
paper from China.\3\ On March 26, 2021, Verso withdrew its request for 
an administrative review with respect to all companies for which it 
requested a review.\4\

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 85 FR 69586 (November 3, 2020).
    \2\ See Verso's Letter, ``Administrative Review of the 
Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Coated Paper Suitable for High-
Quality Print Graphics Using Sheet-Fed Presses from the People's 
Republic of China (11/01/19-10/31/20),'' dated November 30, 2020.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 86 FR 511 (January 6, 2021).
    \4\ See Verso's Letters, ``Withdrawal of Request for 
Administrative Review,'' dated March 26, 2021 (withdrawing Verso's 
request for review generally, but only specifically listing 14 
companies); and ``Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' 
dated May 5, 2021 (clarifying that Verso's withdrawal 
unintentionally omitted Sinar Mas Paper Investment Co., Ltd. from 
the first withdrawal request).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 or parties 
that requested the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the 
publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Verso timely submitted a request to withdraw its request for an 
administrative review for all companies for which an administrative 
review was initiated and later clarified that its initial submission 
applied to all companies, although it omitted one by name. No other 
party requested an administrative review of

the order. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are 
rescinding this review, in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of coated 
paper from China. 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 in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue 
appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 35 days after the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

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 antidumping and/or countervailing 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 antidumping and/or countervailing duties 
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to all parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    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: June 24, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
