SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 13, 2017, based on a timely request by Zekelman 
Industries (Zekelman), the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on circular welded carbon quality steel pipe from the PRC 
with respect to 20 companies.\1\ On September 29, 2017, pursuant to 19

[[Page 52275]]

CFR 351.213(d)(1), Zekelman timely withdrew its request for an 
administrative review of all 20 companies.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 42974 (September 13, 2017).
    \2\ See Letter from Zekelman Industries, regarding ``Circular 
Welded Carbon Quality Steel Pipe from the People's Republic of 
China: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated 
September 29, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws the requests within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Zekelman withdrew its review request by the 90-day deadline, and no 
other parties requested an administrative review of this order. 
Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon quality steel pipe 
from the PRC covering the period July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017, in its 
entirety.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Because 
the Department is rescinding this administrative review in its 
entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertains 
shall be assessed antidumping duties that are equal to the cash 
deposits 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 to CBP within 15 days after the 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as the only 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 or 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: November 6, 2017.

Senior Director performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
