SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On February 8, 2017, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic 
products from the PRC.\1\ The Department received a timely request from 
Shenzhen Topray Solar Co., Ltd. (Topray Solar) and SolarWorld Americas, 
Inc. (the petitioner), in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), to conduct an 
administrative review of this antidumping duty order.\2\ On March 24, 
2017, Topray Solar timely withdrew its request for an administrative 
review.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspend Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 
82 FR 9709 (February 8, 2017).
    \2\ See Letter from Topray Solar, regarding ``Crystalline 
Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic of China 
Request for Administrative Review,'' dated February 27, 2017; see 
also Letter from the petitioner, regarding ``Certain Crystalline 
Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic of China: 
Request for Administrative Review,'' dated February 28, 2017.
    \3\ See Letter from Topray Solar, regarding ``Crystalline 
Silicon Photovoltaic Products form the People's Republic of China 
Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated March 24, 
2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 10, 2017, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation \4\ of an administrative review with respect to 
27 companies. Because Topray Solar timely withdrew its request for an 
administrative review before the Department published its initiation 
notice, the Department did not initiate an administrative review with 
respect to Topray Solar. On May 11, 2017, the petitioner timely 
withdrew its request for an administrative review of all 27 companies 
for which it had requested a review.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 17188 (April 10, 2017).
    \5\ See Letter from the petitioner, regarding ``Certain 
Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from the People's Republic 
of China: Withdrawal of Administrative Review Request,'' dated May 
11, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department 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. Topray 
Solar and the petitioner withdrew their requests for review by the 90-
day deadline, and no other parties requested an administrative review 
of this order. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on certain crystalline silicon 
photovoltaic products from the PRC covering the period February 1, 2016 
to January 31, 2017.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Antidumping duties shall be assessed at an amount 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). The Department intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 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 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 may result in the presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice serves as the only reminder to 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(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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of 
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 9, 2017.
James Maeder,
Senior Director performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
