SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 1, 2013, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China (PRC). Pursuant to requests from interested parties, the Department initiated an administrative review with respect to 153 companies for the period January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012. The deadline for a party to withdraw a request for review was September 26, 2013.
See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 78 FR 25420, 25424 (May 1, 2013).
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 38924 (June 28, 2013) (Initiation Notice).
See Department Memorandum regarding “Deadline to File Withdrawal of Requests for Review” (September 18, 2013). This public document and all other public documents and public versions of all business proprietary documents are on file electronically via IA ACCESS, which is available to registered users at http://iaaccess.trade.gov and in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building.
Withdrawal of Review Requests
Between August 13, 2013, and September 26, 2013, several interested parties filed with the Department submissions to withdraw review requests. The companies for which a request for an administrative review was withdrawn and for which there is no outstanding review request are listed in the attachment to this notice.
On August 13, 2013, Manhattan American Terrazzo Strip Co., Inc. withdrew its review request of North Fenghua Aluminum Ltd. On August 26, Shenzhen Hudson Technology Development Co., Ltd. withdrew its review request of itself. On August 27, 2013, Dek Rail Solution withdrew its review request of Nanhai Textiles Import & Export Co., Ltd. of Guangdong. On September 26, 2013, the Aluminum Extrusions Fair Trade Committee (the Petitioner) withdrew its review request of 80 companies.
Partial Rescission of the 2012 Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. The Department published the notice of initiation of this review on June 28, 2013. All withdrawal of review requests were submitted within the 90-day deadline set forth under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Further, no other party requested an administrative review of these particular companies. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), and consistent with our practice, we are rescinding this review of the CVD order on aluminum extrusions from the PRC with respect to the companies listed in the attachment to this notice. The review will continue with respect to all other firms for which a review was requested and initiated.

The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess CVDs on all appropriate entries.

In light of the above, entries of the Zhongya Companies will remain suspended during the 2012 administrative review.
