on honey from the PRC. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 75 FR
4770 (January 29, 2010).
Rescission of 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 requests within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation. On March 22, 2010, Petitioners
timely withdrew their request that the Department conduct an
administrative review of the entries of subject merchandise of the 51
companies listed above, and no other interested party requested a
review of these or any other companies for this POR. Therefore, the
Department is rescinding this administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on honey from the PRC covering the period December 1, 2008,
through November 30, 2009, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
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 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). The Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after the publication
of this notice in the Federal Register.
Notification to Interested Parties
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. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.402(f)(3), failure to comply with this requirement could result in
the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
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 and as explained in the APO
itself. 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.
This notice is in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: March 29, 2010.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
