SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 2, 2020, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
potassium permanganate from China.\1\ On March 10, 2020, pursuant to a
request from Pacific Accelerator Limited (PAL) and its affiliate
Chongqing Changyuan Group Limited (Changyuan),\2\ Commerce initiated an
administrative review with respect to PAL and Changyuan, in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.213(b).\3\ On June 9, 2020, PAL and Changyuan timely
withdrew their request for an administrative review.\4\ No other party
requested an administrative review of these companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 85 FR 64 (January 2, 2020).
\2\ See PAL and Changyuan's Letter, ``Request for Administrative
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Potassium Permanganate from
the People's Republic of China,'' dated January 31, 2020. In this
letter, Changyuan referred to the company as ``Chongqing Changyuan
Group Ltd (Chongqing Changyuan Chemical Corp Ltd).''
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 13860 (March 10, 2020) (Initiation
Notice). In this notice, we also referred to Changyuan as
``Chongqing Changyuan Group Ltd (Chongqing Changyuan Chemical Corp
Ltd).''
\4\ See PAL and Changyuan's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Review
Request of Antidumping Duty Order on Potassium Permanganate from the
People's Republic of China (A-570-001),'' dated June 9, 2020. This
withdrawal request was timely because Commerce tolled all deadlines
in administrative reviews by 50 days. See Memorandum, ``Tolling of
Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews in Response to Operational Adjustments Due to COVID-19,''
dated April 24, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication date
of the notice of initiation. PAL and Changyuan timely withdrew their
review request. No other party requested an administrative review of
the order for this POR. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review in its entirety.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of potassium
permanganate from China during the POR. Antidumping duties shall be
assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate 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).
Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only reminder to importers whose entries
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission 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 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 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 the return or 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 sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751
and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: June 26, 2020.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
