Background

    In December 2016 and January 2017, the Department received multiple 
timely requests to conduct an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on welded line pipe from Turkey. Based upon these requests, 
on February 13, 2017, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the Department published a notice of 
initiation of an administrative review with respect to nineteen 
companies for the period March 20, 2015, through December 31, 2015.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 10457, 10465 (February 13, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 2, 2017, Maverick Tube Corporation (Maverick), Stupp 
Corporation, a division of Stupp Bros., Inc. (Stupp Corp.) and American 
Cast Iron Pipe Company (ACIPCO) timely withdrew their requests for a 
review of all the companies with the exception of two companies, 
Borusan Istikbal Ticaret and Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret 
A.S.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Letter from Maverick to the Department, ``Welded Line 
Pipe from the Republic of Turkey: Withdrawal of Request for 
Administrative Review,'' dated March 2, 2017. See also Letter from 
Stupp Corp. and ACIPCO to the Department, ``Welded Line Pipe from 
the Republic of Turkey: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated March 2, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission of Review

    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 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. All the 
aforementioned withdrawal requests were timely submitted, and no other 
interested party requested an administrative review of these particular 
companies. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are 
rescinding this review of the countervailing duty order on welded line 
pipe from Turkey, in part, with respect to the seventeen companies 
named in the appendix.

[[Page 21512]]

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. For 
the seventeen companies named in Appendix I for which these reviews are 
rescinded, countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to 
the cash deposit of estimated countervailing 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 to CBP 15 days after 
publication of this notice.

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, 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 
and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 3, 2017.
Gary Taverman,
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
