SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 30, 2011, based on a timely request for review by the
United States Steel Corporation, the Department published in the
Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on seamless carbon and alloy steel standard,
line, and pressure pipe from the People's Republic of China covering
the period November 10, 2010, through October 31, 2011. See Initiation
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 82268 (December 30, 2011). The
review covers 32 companies: Anhui Tianda Oil Pipe; Baoshan Iron & Steel
Co., Ltd.; Beijing Sai Lin Ke Hardware Co., Ltd.; Hengyang Steel Tube
Group Int'l Trading Inc.; Hengyang Valin MPM Tube Co., Ltd.; Hengyang
Valin Steel Tube Co., Ltd.; Hunan Valin Iron & Steel Group Co., Ltd.;
Hunan Valin Steel Co., Ltd.; Hunan Valin Xiangtan Iron & Steel Co.,
Ltd.; Jiangsu Changbao Steel Tube Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Chengde Steel Tube
Share Company; Jiangsu Xigang Group Co., Ltd.; Jiangyin City Changjiang
Steel Pipe Co., Ltd.; LDR Industries, Inc.; Pangang Group Chengdu Iron
& Steel Co.; Shandong HuaBao Steel Pipe; Shandong Luxing Steel Pipe;
Shanghai Tianyang Steel Tube; Tianguan Yuantong Pipe Product Co., Ltd.;
Tianjin Pipe (Group) Corporation; Tianjin Pipe International Economic &
Trading Corp.; Tianjin Pipe Iron Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; TPCO Charging
Development Co., Ltd.; Wuxi Resources Steel Making Co., Ltd.; Wuxi
Seamless Special Pipe Co., Ltd.; Wuxi Sifang Steel Tube Co., Ltd.; Wuxi
Zhenda Special Steel Tube Manufacturing; Xigang Seamless Steel Tube;
Xuzhou Global Pipe and Fitting Mfg.; Yangzhou Chengde Steel Tube Co.,
Ltd.; Yangzhou Lontrin Steel Tube Co., Ltd.; and Yantai Lubao Steel
Tube. No other party requested a review.
On March 29, 2012, and amended on April 3, 2012, the United States
Steel Corporation withdrew its request for an administrative review of
the 32 companies.
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an
administrative review if the party that requested the review withdraws
its request within 90 days of the publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review, or withdraws at a later date if the
Department exercises its discretion to extend the time limit for
withdrawing the request. In this case, the United States Steel
Corporation withdrew its request within the 90-day deadline and no
other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty
order. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of
seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from
the People's Republic of China for the period November 1, 2010, through
October 31, 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
or bonding rate 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.
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 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: July 19, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
