FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Bezirganian or Robert James, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
1131 or (202) 482-0649, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 1, 2010, the Department published a notice announcing
an opportunity for interested parties to request an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on circular welded non-alloy steel
pipe from Taiwan. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order,
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request
Administrative Review, 75 FR 67079 (November 1, 2010). On November 30,
2010, the Petitioner filed a request that the Department initiate an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on circular welded
non-alloy steel pipe from Taiwan with respect to the following four
companies: Far East Machinery Co., Ltd., Kao Hsing Chang Iron & Steel
Corp. (also known as Kao Hsiung Chang Iron & Steel Corp.), Yieh Phui
Enterprise Co., Ltd., and Chung Hung Steel Corporation (also known as
Chung Hung Steel Co., Ltd.). Based on Petitioner's request, on December
28, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register a notice of
initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Taiwan covering the period
November 1, 2009, through October 31, 2010. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests
for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 81565, 81567 (December 28, 2010). On May
4, 2011, Petitioner submitted a letter withdrawing its request for a
review of the order with respect to all four of the respondent
companies.
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations,
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of
the publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review, or
withdraws at a later date if the Department determines it is reasonable
to extend the time limit for withdrawing the request. Therefore,
although Petitioner withdrew its request after the 90-day deadline, the
Department has the discretion to extend this time limit. Consistent
with the Department's practice, we find it reasonable to extend the
withdrawal deadline and to rescind the review with respect to the four
respondents because the Department has not devoted significant time or
resources to the review. See, e.g., Welded Large Diameter Line Pipe
From Japan: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 75 FR 38989, 38990 (July 7, 2010); see also Persulfates from
the People's Republic of China: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 13810, 13811 (March 17, 2006).
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the
four respondent companies, 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)(1)(i). The Department
[[Page 31941]]
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15
days after publication of this notice.
Notifications
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this
review is being rescinded 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.
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: May 25, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
