SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 1, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on copper pipe and tube from China for the
period November 1, 2016, through October 31, 2017.\1\ On November 21,
2017, the Ad Hoc Coalition for Domestically Produced Seamless Refined
Copper Pipe
[[Page 35612]]
and Tube and its individual members \2\ (collectively, the
petitioners), timely requested that Commerce conduct an administrative
review of this antidumping duty order with respect to Golden Dragon
Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc. (Golden Dragon).\3\ On January 11,
2018, Commerce initiated an administrative review with respect to
Golden Dragon, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).\4\ On March 29,
2018, the petitioners timely withdrew their request for an
administrative review.\5\

Pipe and Tube from China: Request for Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review,'' dated November 21, 2017.
\4\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 1329, 1333 (January 11, 2018).
\5\ See Letter from the petitioners, ``Seamless Refined Copper

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested
a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In
this case, the petitioners withdrew their request for review by the 90-
day deadline. Because Commerce received no other request for a review
of the antidumping duty order with respect to Golden Dragon, and no
other requests were made for a review of the antidumping duty order
with respect to other companies, we are rescinding this administrative
review covering the period November 1, 2016, through October 31, 2017,
in accordance with 19 CFR 213(d)(1).
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of copper pipe and
tube from China during the POR. 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). Commerce
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only 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 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 disposition 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 violation which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: July 20, 2018.

Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for
