Accordingly, in the absence of reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are rescinding this administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). <FTNT> <SU>6</SU>   <E T="03">See, e.g., Certain Hardwood Plywood Products from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review and Rescission of Review, in Part; 2017- 2018,</E> 84 FR 54844, 54845 and n.8 (October 11, 2019) (citing <E T="03">Lightweight Thermal Paper from the People's Republic of China: Notice of Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2015,</E> 82 FR 14349 (March 20, 2017)). </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>7</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2). </FTNT> <FTNT> <SU>8</SU>   <E T="03">See</E> 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). </FTNT> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Cash Deposit Requirements</HD> As Commerce has proceeded to a final rescission of this administrative review, no cash deposit rates will change. Accordingly, the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Assessment</HD> Commerce will instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. Because Commerce is rescinding this review in its entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing 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 assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this rescission notice in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> . <HD SOURCE="HD1">Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order</HD> This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 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.
