SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 1, 2019, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on HR
Steel from the Netherlands for the period of review (POR) October 1,
2018, through September 30, 2019.\1\ On October 31, 2019, the
petitioners \2\ timely requested an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order with respect to Tata Steel Steel Ijmuiden BV.\3\
On December 11, 2019, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff
Act of 1930,
[[Page 16059]]
as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an
administrative review of the order on HR Steel from the Netherlands
with respect Tata Steel Steel Ijmuiden BV.\4\ On February 21, 2020, the
petitioners timely withdrew their request for an administrative review
of Tata Steel Steel Ijmuiden BV.\5\ Commerce received no other requests
for an administrative review of the antidumping duty order.

\1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 84 FR 52068 (October 1, 2019).
\2\ The petitioners are AK Steel Corporation, Steel Dynamics
Inc., SSAB Enterprises, LLC, Nucor Corporation, and United States
Steel Corporation.
\3\ See the petitioners' Letter, ``Re: Hot-Rolled Steel Flat
Products from the Netherlands/Request For Administrative Review,''
dated October 31, 2019.
\4\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 67712 (December 11, 2019) (Initiation
Notice).
\5\ See the petitioners' Letter, ``Re: Hot-Rolled Steel Flat
Products from the Netherlands/Withdrawal Of Request For
Administrative Review,'' dated February 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 Tata Steel Steel Ijmuiden BV, and no other
requests for the review of the order on HR Steel from the Netherlands
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 will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of HR Steel
products from the Netherlands 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: March 16, 2020.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
