in Part, 76 FR 53404 (August 26, 2011).
In a letter dated November 22, 2011, Petitioner withdrew its
request for review of all of the companies for which it requested
review, and requested that the Department rescind the review with
respect to these companies. No other parties requested a review.
Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party who requested
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review.
Accordingly, Petitioners timely withdrew its requests for review of

ETCO, Great River Trading, Guangzhou Juyi, Hebei Zhongyuan, Hefei
Zijin, Huludao City Steel Pipe, Hunan Great, Hunan Hengyang, Jiangsu
Changbao, Jiangsu Yulong, Liaoning Northern, Shanghai Zhongyou Tipo,
Shanghai Zhongyou TIPO, Sichuan YNJ, SteelFORCE, Tianjin Baolai,
Tianjin Huilitong, Tianjin Longshenghua, Tianjin Shuangjie, Tianjin
Uniglory, Weifang East, Wuxi Fastube, Zhejiang Kingland, and Zhuji Tri-
Union. Because no other party requested a review, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), the Department is rescinding the entire administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on CWP from the PRC for the period
July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
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 the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a reminder to importers 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 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 order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: December 5, 2011.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
