\1\ Petitioners also withdrew their request for review of United

Manufacturing International (Beijing) Ltd. (``UMI''). However, UMI has submitted a request on its behalf for an administrative review in the current proceeding. See, Letter from UMI, dated April 21, 2011.

Partial Rescission

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 the request within 90 days of the date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. The aforementioned requests for review were withdrawn within the 90-day period. Because the requests for review were timely withdrawn and because no other party requested a review of the aforementioned companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are partially rescinding this review with respect to these companies.

Assessment Rates

The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection

(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). For those companies for which this review has been rescinded and which have a separate rate from a prior segment of this proceeding, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated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 warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2). Accordingly, the Department intends to issue assessment instructions, based on separate rates assigned in prior segments of the proceeding, to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice for the following companies: Datong Locomotive Coal & Chemicals

Co., Ltd.; Ningxia Lingzhou Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Qixian

Foreign Trade Corporation; Shanxi Xuanzhong Chemical Industry Co.,

Ltd.; and Xi'an Shuntong International Trade & Industrials Co., Ltd.

For those companies not assigned a separate rate from a prior segment of the proceeding, the Department has stated that they belong to the PRC-wide entity and that the administrative review will continue for these companies. See Initiation Notice. The Department intends to issue liquidation instructions for the PRC-wide entity 15 days after publication of the final results of this review.

Notification to Importers

This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this review is being rescinded, as of the publication date of this notice, of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping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 Orders

This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders (``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).

Dated: September 14, 2011.

Christian Marsh,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

Operations.
