SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 31, 2012, based on a timely request for review by U.S.
Steel, 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
[[Page 33810]]
November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request
for Revocation in Part, 77 FR 77017 (December 31, 2012) (``Initiation
Notice''). The review covers 203 companies. See Initiation Notice. No
other party requested a review.
On March 27, 2013, U.S. Steel withdrew its request for an
administrative review in its entirety.
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. In this case, U.S. Steel 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, 2011, through October 31, 2012.
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review is being rescinded of their responsibility under 19 CFR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: May 30, 2013.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
