Background
On April 1, 2014, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register a notice of “Opportunity to Request Administrative Review” of the antidumping duty order on drawn stainless steel sinks from the People's Republic of China (PRC) for the period of review (POR) of October 4, 2012, through March 31, 2014.[]
The Department received a timely request from the petitioner, Elkay Manufacturing Company, to conduct an administrative review of Foshan Success Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd. (Foshan Success), an exporter of drawn stainless steel sinks from the PRC.[]
Between April 16 and April 30, 2014, Feidong Import & Export Co., Ltd. (Feidong), Foshan Zhaoshun Trade Co., Ltd. (Zhaoshun), Guangdong Dongyuan Kitchenware Industrial Co., Ltd. (Dongyuan), Guangdong New Shichu Import and Export Company Limited (New Shichu), Guangdong Yingao Kitchen Utensils Co., Ltd.

(Superte), Start Printed Page 58740each filed timely requests for review.[]
Additionally, on April 30, 2014, the Department received a timely request from Hajoca Corporation (Hajoca), a United States importer of the subject merchandise, to conduct a review of its entries of the subject merchandise during the POR produced and exported by Yingao.[]
On May 29, 2014, the Department published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on drawn stainless steel sinks from the PRC with respect to the above-named companies.[]
On August 27, 2014, the petitioner timely withdrew its request for review of Foshan Success.[]
Partial Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. We received the petitioner's withdrawal request within the 90-day deadline. Therefore, in response to the withdrawal request and pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this administrative review with regard to Foshan Success. The instant review will continue with respect to Dongyuan, Feidong, Newecan, New Shichu, Shunde Native Produce, Superte, Yingao, Yuyao, Zhaoshun, and Zhongshan Silk.[]
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the company for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from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). As the company for which this review is rescinded is also subject to an ongoing new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on drawn stainless steel sinks from the PRC covering the period October 4, 2012, through October 14, 2013, the Department's assessment instructions as a result of this rescission will only cover the period October 15, 2013, through March 31, 2014. 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 could result in the Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
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 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 sections 751 and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
