SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On April 2, 2007, the Department published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on automotive replacement glass windshields from the PRC for the POR. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 72 FR 15650 (April 2, 2007). On April 30, 2007, Shenzhen CSG Automotive Glass Co., Ltd., (“Shenzhen”) requested an administrative review of its sales of automotive replacement glass windshields to the United States during the POR. Pursuant to this request, the Department initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on automotive replacement glass windshields from the PRC. See Initiation Notice. On June 5, 2007, Shenzhen timely withdrew its request for administrative review.

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 that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. In this case, Shenzhen withdrew its request for administrative review of its exports of automotive replacement glass windshields for the POR within 90 days from the date of publication of the Initiation Notice. No other interested party requested a review of this company. Therefore, the Department is rescinding this review of the antidumping duty order on automotive replacement glass windshields from the PRC covering the POR, 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 for Shenzhen. 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 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 the Secretary's assumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders (“APOs”)

This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APOs of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under an 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 in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Dated: July 2, 2007.

Stephen J. Claeys,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
