SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 3, 2019, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on CR
Steel from the UK for the period of review (POR) September 1, 2018,
through August 31, 2019.\1\ On September 30, 2019, the petitioners \2\
timely requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order
with respect to Liberty Performance Steels Ltd., and Tata Steel UK
Ltd.\3\ On November 12, 2019, in accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i),
we initiated an administrative review of the order on CR Steel from the
UK with respect to Liberty Performance Steels Ltd. and Tata Steel UK
Ltd.\4\ On January 21, 2020, the petitioners timely withdrew their
request for an administrative review of Liberty
[[Page 10152]]

\1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 84 FR 45949 (September 3, 2019).
\2\ The petitioners are AK Steel Corporation, Steel Dynamics
Inc., Nucor Corporation, and United States Steel Corporation.
\3\ See the petitioners' Letter, ``Cold-Rolled Steel Flat
Products from the United Kingdom/Request For Administrative
Review,'' dated September 30, 2019.
\4\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 61011 (November 12, 2019) (Initiation
Notice).
\5\ See the petitioners' Letter, ``Cold-Rolled Steel Flat
Products from the United Kingdom/Withdrawal Of Request For
Administrative Review,'' dated January 21, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review ``in whole or in part, if a party that requested
a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.'' The
petitioners withdrew their request for review within 90-days of the
publication date of the Initiation Notice. Because we received no other
requests for review of Liberty Performance Steels Ltd. and Tata Steel
UK Ltd., and no other requests for the review of the order on CR Steel
from the UK with respect to other companies subject to the order, we
are rescinding the administrative review of the order in its entirety,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of CR
Steel products from the UK during the POR at rates equal to the cash
deposit rate 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 15 days after publication of this notice
in the Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a 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 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: February 18, 2020.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
