---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    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 the notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
aforementioned request for review was timely withdrawn and because no 
other party requested a review of GTC and GTCIE, or any other producer/
exporter of subject merchandise, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review in its entirety.

Assessment Rates

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess CVD duties on all entries of OTR Tires from the PRC 
made during the POR at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated CVD 
duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from the warehouse, 
for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The 
Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 
15 days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register.

Notifications

    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 CVD duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of the CVD duties occurred and the subsequent assessment 
of double CVD duties.
    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).

    Dated: May 29, 2015.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
