SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 2, 2020, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PC
Strand from Thailand for the period January 1, 2019, through December
31, 2019.\1\ On January 31, 2020, The Siam Industrial Wire Co., Ltd.
(SIW), a respondent interested party, filed a timely request for review
with respect to itself.\2\ Based on this request, on March 10, 2020, in
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), Commerce published in the Federal
Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review covering
the period January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019.\3\ On March 9,
2020, SIW submitted a timely request to withdraw its request for
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on PC Strand from
Thailand.\4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
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 the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. As noted
above, SIW fully withdrew its request by the 90-day deadline, and no
other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty
order. As such, Commerce is in receipt of a timely request for
withdrawal of the instant administrative review with
[[Page 20469]]
respect to the only company listed in the Initiation Notice.
Accordingly, we are rescinding the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on PC Strand from Thailand for the period
January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Because Commerce
is rescinding this review in its entirety, the entries to which this
administrative review pertained shall be assessed at a rate 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 15 days after the date of 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, 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 the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with section
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: April 7, 2020.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
