    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Background

    On November 1, 2013, the Department of Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of the opportunity to request administrative review of, inter alia, the antidumping duty order on fresh garlic from the PRC covering the period November 1, 2012, through October 31, 2013.[1] In November 2013, the Department received review requests from PRC producers/exporters of fresh garlic and the Fresh Garlic Producers Association (FGPA) and its individual members (collectively, the Petitioners).[2] On December 30, 2013, the Department initiated this review for 147 Start Printed Page 30820producers/exporters.[3] On March 31, 2014, Petitioners timely withdrew their review requests for 94 of the 147 companies, listed as an attachment to this notice. Harmoni also filed a timely request for withdrawal on the same date.

    Rescission in Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the day of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. The aforementioned requests for review were timely withdrawn and because no other party requested a review of the aforementioned producers/exporters, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), with respect to these producers/exporters.

    Assessment Rates

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For those producers/exporters for which this review has been rescinded and which have a separate rate from a prior segment of this proceeding, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated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 the warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2). For those producers/exporters for which this review has been rescinded and which have not been assigned a separate rate from a prior segment of the proceeding, the Department stated that they belong to the PRC-wide entity and that the administrative review will continue for these companies.[4]

    Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this review being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

    Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 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 terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
