SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 1, 2016, the Department published a notice of 
opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on malleable cast iron pipe fittings from the PRC.\1\ On January 
3, 2017, the Department received from Anvil International, LLC 
(``Petitioner'') a timely request to conduct an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on malleable cast iron pipe fittings from 
the PRC for four producers and/or exporters of the subject 
merchandise.\2\ Based on this request, on February 13, 2017, in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the ``Act''), the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation of an administrative review covering the period 
December 1, 2015, through November 30, 2016, with respect to four 
companies: Beijing Sai Lin Ke Hardware Co. Ltd., Jinan Meide Casting 
Co., Ltd., LDR Industries, Inc., and Langfang Pannext Pipe Fitting Co., 
Ltd.\3\ On March 7, 2017, Petitioner timely withdrew its request for an 
antidumping duty administrative review of JMC and Pannext.\4\

Administrative Review,'' dated January 3, 2017.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested a 
review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication 
of the notice of initiation of the requested review. Petitioner timely 
withdrew its request for an administrative review of JMC and Pannext; 
no other party requested a review of these companies. Accordingly, we 
are rescinding this review, in part, with respect to these companies, 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
JMC and Pannext, the companies for which this review is rescinded, 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 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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under an 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 sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 10, 2017.

Senior Director, Office I for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
