SUMMARY: On June 28, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes 
from Taiwan. The review covers eight firms. Based on a withdrawal of 
the requests for review of certain companies from United States Steel 
Corporation (Petitioner), we are now rescinding this administrative 
review with respect to six of those firms.

DATES: Effective Date: September 15, 2011.

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-

Background

    On June 28, 2011, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Taiwan 
covering the period May 1, 2010, through April 30, 2011. See Initiation 
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and 
Request for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 37781 (June 28, 2011). The review 
covers eight companies. The Petitioner was the sole party to request 
reviews of these eight companies.
    On August 8, 2011, the Petitioner withdrew its request for an 
administrative review for the following six companies: (1) E United 
Group; (2) Yieh Corp.; (3) Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd.; (4) Far 
East Machinery Co. Ltd.; (5) Kao Hsing Chang Iron & Steel Corp. (also 
known as Kao Hsiung Chang Iron & Steel Corp.); and (6) Tension Steel 
Industries Co. Ltd.

Partial Rescission

    The applicable regulation, 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), states that if a 
party that requested an administrative review withdraws the request 
within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation of the 
requested review, the Secretary will rescind the review. The Petitioner 
withdrew its review request with respect to six companies within the 
90-day deadline, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
    Therefore, in accordance with section 351.213(d)(1) of the 
Department's regulations, we are partially rescinding this review with 
respect to the following six companies: (1) E United Group; (2) Yieh 
Corp.; (3) Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd.; (4) Far East Machinery Co. 
Ltd.; (5) Kao Hsing Chang Iron & Steel Corp. (also known as Kao Hsiung 
Chang Iron & Steel Corp.); and (6) Tension Steel Industries Co. Ltd. 
This review will continue with respect to Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., 
Ltd. and Chung Hung Steel Corp.

Assessment Instructions

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the 
companies for which this review is rescinded, 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 
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 
days after publication of this notice.

Notification to Importers

    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.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    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: September 7, 2011.
